Crummy Church Signs
December 7th, 2006The name says it all: www.crummychurchsigns.com. Read much of the content and you’ll be both entertained and depressed. The site’s owner, Joel, gives some hilarious commentary on the signs.
For example:
Church sign: “Kill the devil”
Joel’s review: “Can we … do that? What’s taken so long, then?”
Church sign: “Faith in yourself has won many a race….never quit trying.”
Joel’s review: “Yes, folks, the cornerstone of the universal church, as established by God Himself, since time eternal: ‘Faith in Yourself.’”
Church sign: “Church the way it used to be”
Joel’s review: “You mean hiding in houses, trying to escape persecution from Roman soldiers?”
Church sign: “God is alive and God lives”
Joel’s review: “Really? He does both at the very same time?”
Church sign: “The dyslexic atheist believes there is no Dog.”
Joel’s review: “And the dyslexic church sign reviewer says this sign is a big ‘lipe of parc.’”
Lots more where these came from. Check it out.
Hat tip: Tony
I can always count on church near my house for corny, uneffective messages. Today I saw a new wrinkle–poor grammar. It said something to the extent of if you are too busy for God you are too busy. However, they had ‘to’ instead of ‘too’.
As a friend once told me upon my correction of his statement–”Are you tryin’ to tell me I ain’t got no grammatical skills?”
A church sign in an area of Springfield, IL read:
“Who’s Your Daddy?”
(True story)
How will you spend eternity? Smoking or Non-smoking?
I love the self depricating sign that read “We talk too much and think too little.” We’ll THAT’S encouraging. I’ll make sure to be there bright and early on Sunday morning. Right!
FUnny stuff!
Here’s one I read right down the street from my church. It stated: “God made moms because He couldn’t be everywhere”.
So, how do we go about dissassociating ourselves with churches who believe/promote these things? That is heresey plain and simple.

Based on the online generator is this funny exchange: the church sign smackdown!
(Read at your own discretion.)
What have churches got against putting scripture on their signs these days? Hmmm, if they don’t put scripture, they should at least put this on there…

The worst one I’ve ever seen was on a church sign off of I-55 on my way to TN from MO….
“Jesus Got’R Done!”
It makes me nearly physically ill to type that!
I’ve always had an affinity for the one that says: “Life running you ragged? Let the church help.”
There is a church nearby who has added a smaller wooden sign to their permanent one.
“Sinners Welcome!”
Whenever my wife and I see a sign like these, we look at each other and say, “Yeah…that’ll bring ‘em in!”
It can be very embarrassing at times to see what churches put out there.
Last year, during a particular warm heat wave here in NC, I passed two churches within a couple of miles of each other whose signs said something like, “Think it’s hot here? Hell’s hotter.”
I will never understand this tactic!!! LOL
