Bad Church Sign of the Week: The Roadblock of Salation

This week’s bad church sign states: “Will you go through God’s roadblock called salation into hell?” A friend sent this one to me and commented that the title of this church is quite humorous since they misspelled salvation. Funny stuff.

Marriage by the Book Recap

As I woke up this morning, I thought that the “Marriage by the Book” series was what we have been looking for as a church.  Not only was the content right on, but the whole effort was so quality due to God’s leading and his servants responding.  We did pray that some marriages would be …

Bad Church Sign of the Week: Women’s Bible Stud

I laughed out loud when I saw this church sign this week.  I hate when my wife puts out a description of me (ha, ha): “Women’s Bible Stud.” I am so thankful for that missing “Y.”  I don’t know if: a) the wind blew it off revealing God’s sense of humor, b) someone stole it …

How to Fix Your Wife

Today was week 3 in the Marriage by the Book series entitled, “How to Fix Your Wife.”  Since I was gone to seminary last week, it was great just to sit back on the keys and the mandolin, and let Kennerly, Eric, and the rest of the gang lead.  I am so honored to lead …
