Moving On Up !?!

Jul13

As seen on a local church sign:

Like George and Wheezy we are moving on up …

You can’t be young and get that reference.

This is referring to an old TV show from the 70’s and 80’s called The Jeffersons.  The main characters George and Wheezy (Louise) Jefferson move from Queens to a luxury apartment in Manhattan.  The theme song for the show was Moving on Up.  One line went like this “Moving on up … to a deluxe apartment in the sky.” 

Is Salvation just an upgrade to better accommodations?

Why must churches use such poor theology?

It is because they think the real truth of the gospel and the Bible are unable to get the attention of people and save them.

What Are You Doing …

Jun3

Found on a local church sign:

 

What are you doing for God that he can’t do for himself alone?

 

What exactly does that mean?

Considering this is on a church which regularly has such strange signs, I suspect it isn’t just to encourage others to think about God’s lack of need for us.

What cannot God do that man can “help” with?

…………..

God cannot sin.

Man can.

But that isn’t helping or doing for God.

A common fallacy is the teaching that God needs man to accomplish His goals.  I have heard that so many times sitting in church.

God needs us to do this ….

God needs us to do that ….

God does not need man, man needs God.

Acts 17:24-25 (ESV)

24 The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by man,
25 nor is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives to all mankind life and breath and everything.

Job 35:7 (ESV) If you are righteous, what do you give to him? Or what does he receive from your hand?

Psalms 50:12 (ESV) “If I were hungry, I would not tell you, for the world and its fullness are mine.

 

Maybe a better question would be:

What are you trying to do that God has already done for you?

Are you trying to earn your way into Heaven?
