Not a huge fan of the church sign craze (read here and here).
Former NMC student and current Seminary egghead David Cramer posted a poem he wrote for a Bethel College literary magazine. It's takes a look at all our catchy "Christianese" phrases we have.
I'll save you the jump and post it below, but for the purpose of padding Mr. Cramer's blog stats, feel free to click on the links.
keep it catchy
WHEN YOUR HARDRIVE OF LIFE CRASHES REMEMBER JESUS SAVES!
church sign theology is the latest craze
don’t want to bore them with two bit preachers
red and black letters are today’s best teachers
WALMART ISN’T THE ONLY PLACE TO FIND GREAT SAVINGS!
the pithier the better to meet their cravings
fighting technology and internet porn
IF YOU LOVE JESUS HONK YOUR HORN!
DON’T LET THE NEXT TIME YOU COME TO CHURCH BE IN A CASKET!
‘read your sign and felt compelled to put money in the basket’
reaching the lost one phrase at a time
keep it catchy and make it rhyme
when it comes to evangelism nothing but the best
does your one-liner live up to the test?
dichotomous words are the biggest rave but
WHO IN THE HELL ARE THEY GOING TO SAVE?

By the way, every church-line in the poem is from an actual Michiana church sign, other than the one about horn honking, and obviously, the final line of the poem.
