More Relevant Than Thou

…the church and its members must not seek the world’s approval by providing programs that pander to people’s need to feel popular and appreciated. The “more relevant than thou” approach to ministry may fill churches, but often at the expense of the cross and all its glorious foolishness and shame.

An extremely relevant quote (pardon the pun) from Jason J. Stellman’s Dual Citizens. You can read an expanded quotation at Ligonier Ministries or purchase his book.

"Christian" Slogans

“Searching for a new look? Have your faith lifted here!”

Most Christian slogans and church signs (like the one quoted above) make me cringe rather than laugh. I find it so refreshing when I drive past a church sign that actually quotes Scripture (correctly!).  This is a rare occurance here in Australia.
