This week’s bad church sign is a church who has on their sign: “VBS Walk thru the Bilbe.”
While walking through the Bible at VBS is a daunting task, it is even more daunting to walk through a bilbe. What exactly is a bilbe? It sounds like a flying creature on Hoth in Star Wars. “I would take off in the spaceship, but the bilbes have chewed on the power couplings.”
Well, whatever a “Bilbe” is, I hope it is a reminder to every church out there: if we have the most important message in the world, let’s use spellcheck. Enough people in the world think Christians are illiterate, so let’s not add fuel to the fire.
