View Full Version : Favorite inspirational sayings you've seen on outdoor church signs
catlover79 04-11-2009, 02:12 AM "Jesus loves you and He approves this message." (seen around election time last year).
Another church I drove by had on their marquee: "CH CH". What's missing? ;)
I was once visiting a Jewish neighborhood in New Orleans - there was an add at a bus station that said simply "Jesus Saves." Someone wrote underneath "Moses Invests." :lol:
catlover79 04-11-2009, 11:24 AM "No Bread of Life? You're Toast!"
MickeyMac 04-11-2009, 01:09 PM A church by where I used to live had this sign saying "There's No Business Like Soul Business". I always liked that one, and any 1960's R&B record label could have also used that slogan.

steevo 04-11-2009, 02:17 PM Here's one I caught from the 70's:

We need to talk. -God
What part of "Thou shall not" don't you understand? -God
MickeyMac 04-12-2009, 03:21 PM This isnt a real one, but did anybody ever see the move Which Way is Up with Richard Pryor??? He plays a sleazy preacher in that one and outside of the church the sign says "Talk to Me, I Talk To God". I though it was pretty funny considering the movie(you'll have to watch it to get it).

PlayOn 06-17-2009, 04:14 PM I live in Kentucky and back in January, and I heard about this a few days weeks/days after things had settled down. We were in church and somebody said they pass by this other church every morning on their way to work. They said the sign read: Did you see God or the mess?
That got a few amens from the congregation.
If you didn't see how KY looked on the news when we had Winter Storm '09 (as some people in KY call it. My family does anyway), it was horrible. There's videos of it on YouTube. Just type in Kentucky Winter Storm 2009.
MickeyMac 06-17-2009, 05:51 PM I saw this one today "You should only pray on days that end with the letter Y"

catlover79 04-04-2010, 11:59 PM Here's one I saw driving home from my own church:

catlover79 04-05-2010, 04:31 PM My mom told me about this one: "It wasn't the apple it was the pair."

catlover79 07-07-2010, 09:42 PM I have to admit, the LDS billboard about the missionary position made me :rofl:!!!
Zoneboy 10-24-2010, 08:19 PM http://i384.photobucket.com/albums/oo283/tzgames/churchsign-1.jpg
catlover79 10-24-2010, 09:17 PM ^ Good one!! My mom drove past one the other day that said, "Are your prayers rare or well-done?" Clever!! :cool: :D
catlover79 11-25-2010, 12:29 AM I took this photo myself!! I was driving home tonight from my church's Thanksgiving Eve service and passed another church with this extremely clever sign. My camera was in the car, so I pulled in and took the picture. I love it I love it I love it!!!!!! :cool: :D

catlover79 03-13-2011, 01:41 AM 165487

The Great One 03-21-2011, 02:47 PM I've seen that one before. Too funny. :rofl:
That's hilarious!!! lol
TripperFan 03-21-2011, 03:39 PM There's a little "town" (farms really) just south of me called, "Claude". They have a little church on the "main drag" that would seat maybe 50 at most. A very modest parking lot is attached.
Most recently, their sign announced, "FREE PARKING FOR THE FIRST 200 CARS!"
Whoever does their signs has quite a sense of humour - they're almost always funny and it DOES draw attention.
Last spring I went there to get plants and the money goes to the church. The elders were there and we joked and laughed so hard. It made me buy more plants than I had planned! And when I lamented that I would love a ***** willow bush, the eldest elder to me to hang on a half hour, and they'd be back with one - they'd steal it from his neighbour's property! :lol: All in fun and "church irony" of course. ;)
If I were to join any church in my area, it would be this one.
Just checked out a link and actually, it's the same Claude Presbyterian Church that has the "Some Questions Can't Be Answered By Google" one too! hahaha

catlover79 08-10-2011, 01:30 AM Those are wonderful. I saw another great church sign driving home from Bible study: "God is not finished with us yet". I had my camera in my bag and would've liked to snap a photo, but it was raining and lightning was flashing all over the place. I wasn't about to take the chance.
Regulus 08-10-2011, 07:44 AM Here's a Couple I've seen on my Travels.
"We're Air Conditioned, come inside and avoid the heat, now and later.."
"Choose Life, your Mother did!"
Tweety 09-17-2011, 12:43 AM This one isn't so much an inspirational thing as it is humorous.
Two churches, located across the street from each other, have an on going "debate" (via their signs) about dogs.
Here's the link (http://tithenai.tumblr.com/post/3215186237/two-churches-located-across-the-street-from-each-other)
catlover79 09-17-2011, 12:49 AM I actually have seen that one before - too funny. :lol:
Tweety 09-17-2011, 06:54 AM I actually have seen that one before - too funny. :lol:
Yes, it is...I'll bet the folks who live around there got a big kick out of that debate!
Regulus 09-17-2011, 11:24 AM If I ran a Church, and the one across from me had a bulliten that said "All Dogs Go To Heaven", my Bulletin would read: I LOVE CATS, THEY TASTE LIKE CHICKEN. :D
catlover79 09-28-2011, 07:42 PM I just saw this one a couple of days ago:
"Heaven - All Gain, No Pain"
:D
smithjhon 06-22-2012, 03:28 AM Wow that’s really great that outdoor signs are inspiring people. Sign boards are really attractive. I have seen lot of sign board in temple or church to inform people about their timing.
