Try Jesus !

Oh, where oh where to begin. I was on my way to the Pennsylvania State Police Barracks when I saw this church sign. I actually turned around to get a picture of it. No I was not in the back of a police cruiser when I went by. I was getting fingerprinted for foster care reasons. My thoughts however on this sign just screemed to be put on the "drivel" sight.

"Try" Jesus, what are they saying, they make it sound like they have a product that they are selling and if you don't like the outcome of the product you can just return it and go back to the way it was before trying the product to begin with.

The dictionary defines try as "to test the quality, value, fitness, accuracy, etc." Do we really need to test the quality, or value of Jesus? If the gospel of Christ is presented in a way that people are shown that they are sinners and that God is just and will punish sinners in Hell, before they are told that they need to repent and trust in Jesus the value is made perfectly clear.

This sign seems to be saying that this Church would like to fill the pews however they are not really concerned if you stay or not. The following is a cut and paste from the Seventh Day Adventist Web site, from the "What Adventists Believe" page "God's vision for you is life as He lives it! God loves you, and wants to give you the highest quality of life imaginable."

God's vision is to live life as he lives it? How is that possible until we are in Heaven with him. God wants you to have the highest quality of life? There is that ugly prosperity gospel again. In 2 Timothy 3:12 "In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted"

Sad, so sad.

THINK ABOUT IT, AND READ THE WORD (DON'T BE HOODWINKED)
