  • Theologically Incorrect Church Sign

    I took this picture because I wanted it for the Megabelt book site. In the book Megabelt (a cross between Megachurch and Bible Belt) the lead character Gil has a real thing about trite church signs, which covers most of them.

    In looking for church signs to post on the book site, I’ve found any number of church signs that promote some really questionable theology, probably contrary even to the theological positions of the denominations involved. (For independent churches it’s harder to tell.)

    In any case, my reaction to the following sign was: That’s not right!

    Note: This is a real church sign posted at a church near my home. It’s not photoshopped or run through one of those church sign generators.

    Nick May is coming out with his second book, Minutemen. (His previous title is Megabelt from Energion Publications.)

    This book is not at all like Megabelt. It’s the story of four young men whose relationships haven’t worked out (or are deteriorating) and the decisions they make as things spiral out of control more and more. There’s no obvious solution to the ever increasing problems. But the one thing you can expect in this book is that unexpected–and positively weird–things will happen.

    Nick claims no moral to the story, but I can make several of them, and perhaps that’s the point of not having an intentional moral proposed (and made obvious) by the author–one can make up one’s own.

    This is coming from the brand new Eucatastrophe Press.
