Bad Church Sign of the Week: We Practice Human Sacrifice

This week’s bad church sign states: “WE PRACTICE HUMAN SACRIFICE” As always at travisagnew.org, we try to evaluate a church’s sign through the lenses of a casual passerby that does not have too much understanding of church theology.  I mean, aren’t church signs for people outside the church? If that is the case, then I do not think that many …

Bad Church Sign of the Week: ABC Stores

Today’s bad church sign of the week states: “ABC STORES ARE RECRIUTING HALLS FOR HELL” Did someone who visited an ABC store write this because they misspelled “recruiting?” Besides the spelling, I take great issue with a sign like this.  I personally do agree that stores that sell liquor create many deep physical, emotional, relational, and spiritual problems for many people.  I …

Every now and then, it is important that we remind ourselves that our standard can only be God’s Word. We must be a church that pleases Jesus according to his standard …

Bailout #3 (Are You a Broke College Student?)

Our college group at my church was traveling to invest in some children at a missions project during the summer, and I was driving one of the vans full of students.  I had just finished reading Dave Ramsey’s, The Total Money Makeover, and I was befuddled at some of the stats I read.  I polled those riding on the van …

Potential Leaders (May is Me & My Shadow Month)

One of the greatest needs for leaders is to identify and equip potential leaders.  Every congregation is comprised of potential leaders eager to serve.  If a leader can maintain a view of the long term success of the church versus a daily task mentality, that leader will intentionally develop potential leaders in the congregation. After discovering these potential leaders, we …
