The coin of God’s realm is love

The coin of God's realm is love
The coin of God’s realm is love

What wonderful poetry! The coin of God’s realm. Money doesn’t matter in heaven; only love does. A person’s worth is measured in how much they love. The coin of God’s realm is love. It’s dripping with imagery, isn’t it?

As for a godvertisement… well, who doesn’t want to be loved? (more…)

Life is short; Pray hard

Life is short; Pray hard
Life is short; Pray hard

Ah, puns. “Life is short; play hard!” is the more common aphorism. It reminds us that we should enjoy life while we’re here, because it won’t last forever.

But for the Christians (see the Jesus fish on the plate?) it does last forever. And life on earth is short. It is the afterlife which will be long, lasting for eternity. To make sure it’s an eternity we can endure, this sign implores us to “Pray hard”.

But I’ve already over-explained this one. It’s easy to figure out, right?

God’s Word will not fall

God's Word will not fall
God’s Word will not fall

This one is hilarious. This sign is a cheap, wooden sign near a big highway. We had a huge storm this week with lots of wind damage. This sign was a victim of the wind. You can see the bottom of the sign in its original position and some of the splinters of wood lying about.

The next day, these words were on the sign. According to the preacher, this sign was saved by God.

More important, though, is the message that God’s Word is eternal. It is unchanging and unerring, and It will not fall. God tells only the Truth, and the Truth, brothers and sisters, is eternal!

Marquee bonus: It’s a broken sign!

God grades on the cross, not the curve

God grades on the cross, not the curve
God grades on the cross, not the curve

There’s more in this message than most will see, I think. The cross is an easy reference, and “grading on the curve” is a well-known axiom. But what does it mean? (more…)

We’re called by God to stand out, not to blend in

We’re called by God to stand out, not to blend in

This is the essence of Godvertising: God commands his followers to spread the gospel. They must make themselves visible to others in order to build the popularity of the divine message. This is why there are Jesus Fish on cars, psalms on bumper stickers and sayings on church signs.

Are you one of God’s children? Don’t hide it. Go tell it on the mountain!
