I am writing once again about what seems to be a prevalent occurrence for me—spotting church signs.  They are very popular around here, and in previous entries I have discussed the often-aloof messages that are posted on them.  But to be fair, I am going to write about a church in Southeast Greensboro that has great messages on their sign.  Of course you know that I have been ruined by house church, and am now unable to worship comfortably in a “traditional” church setting.  But if I were to, I think this church would be the one.  It’s off of Rehoboth, and in fact has the same name.  But, I digress.  Here are some of the recent messages posted on the Rehoboth Church sign:
 
“Swallowing your pride will not cause indigestion”
“A good leader is someone who knows how to serve”
“Attack problems, not people”
“God loves us enough to accept us as we are, but he loves us too much to leave us that way”
 
Messages like these prompt me to consider the ways of Christ, and how I need to be more like him.  They evoke a very different response than the ones that say things like “God is here.  Where are you?”  It’s worth considering—if a disciple of Christ (yes, I’m really referring to me!) gets uncomfortable reading such statements, what might someone who is outside the Christian “loop” think?
