Lousy Christian Witness of the Week

As I stated in my sermon today, I've decided to keep my eyes and ears open to hearing and seeing things from the perspective of those outside the church. I don't know how well I will be at it, but I'm going to give it a try. And as I do, I'll share with you.

Now, I don't know if I'll have one every week (one can only hope that will be difficult!), but to get started I have two pictures.

Craig took this picture out of the window of our car--thus it is a bit blurry. This billboard is located on Highway 431 in either Albertville or Boaz. It has been there for a long time with occasional minor changes.

I took this picture last month on Beale Street. According to one local, he shows up every Friday and Saturday and walks up and down the street carrying his sign. If you can't read it it says:
"Whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. Rev. 20:15" Jesus and the angels are pointing to the book which on the left reads "Rejected God's only son" and on the right "laziness, stubbourness, self-will, pride, envy, covetousness, dirty thoughts, lust, sin, big sins--little, scarlet sins, yellow sins, black sins, lies, deceit, exaggeration"
and then below it reads "... the judgment was set and the books were opened..."
