Cracking Up... Literally
I wish to apologize in advance for disrupting the reverent simplicity of the Lent posts. Then again, this IS a blog, and part of the beauty of a blog is that you never know what you're going to get.
This advertisement for one of our church planting partners in Washington caused a laugh-out-loud moment around the CD offices this morning. We were thinking, "Can you DO that? I can't believe they got away with that..."
(Note to detractors: our network is a missional church planting network, which means that we are seeking to reach unchurched people instead of stealing Christians from other churches. While we do not necessarily approve of this ad in every way, we do admire these brothers for their savviness in trying to connect with the culture. You gotta admit: this ad explodes all kinds of stereotypes. Is it in poor taste? Probably. But does it grab people's attention? Yep.)

Hahaha, can we use that for Coram Deo? :)
Had I been on the design team, I would have gone with something more subtle, like, "We don't want you to slip through the cracks. Come to Damascus Road."
I would have gone with something slightly more direct, and for a much more obvious relationship to the name of the church, such as:
"Hope to see your damn ass at Damascus Road."
Am I allowed to say such things on a church blog?
I just knew you bishopless anglican wannabes wouldn't be able to hold it together for all of Lent.

For anyone wondering, the anglican crack (no pun intended) is in reference to Bob's sermon on eldership, and why we don't have bishops and all that ... the irony being that our good friend David (aka "anonymous") is anglican. Never fear, though, he does not yet have a fancy title.
