Resistance is Futile

13 WTM September 14, 2009 at 10:52 am

This puts the notion of Christ being “offensive” into new perspective…

“How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord,
Is laid for your faith in His excellent word!”

–First couplet, “How Firm a Foundation” by John Keith

The church’s new foundation,
can roll o’er all the earth.
A blessed Christian nation
no longer needs re-birth.
With pow’r now unstoppable
she’ll never have to die.
and ‘neath the crunch of steel treads
we hear the savior cry.

Does the church shoot its wounded?

or

The church wages war on ______. (insert the appropriate words…gays, SSM, women pastors, the emerging church movement, health care reform – NOTE: I think it would have to be making a negative point about the church in order for the caption to be effective)

Attention Christian soldiers: the age of the metaphor has officially ended.

18 Peter Craig September 14, 2009 at 11:47 am

Oh! One more:

Sorry ELCA, but we warned you this might happen.

19 Mike Pass September 14, 2009 at 11:52 am

Ah! The two causes of war……………..Religion and Politics.
Do we assume that the politicos are hiding inside the church???
Do we further assume that the tank is in reverse…..Hhhmmmm?????

20 Paul Rack September 14, 2009 at 11:52 am

Christendom.

…and here we have the now extinct Churchasaurous Rex, known for its aggressive behavour and most notably for killing it’s own kind.

“Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take you stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against the flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.” Ephesians 6:10-12

We are waging the war against Evil.

25 Andrew Yeager-Buckley September 14, 2009 at 12:46 pm

This church is on the move and nothing will stand in our way

“Our premium protection package will guarantee the safe relocation of your church from the inner-city to the suburbs.”

At last, First Church of Modernity felt that their Incarnational Ministries Upgrade was sufficient for them to go ‘out there’ to meet people where ‘they’ are.
