Chasing the Wind

News. Faith. Nonsense.


Church Signs

I stumbled across these this morning (I was wearing big shoes at the time). Thought I’d share. 🙂

  1. Give God what’s right — not what’s left.
  2. Man’s way leads to a hopeless end — God’s way leads to an endless hope.
  3. A lot of kneeling will keep you in good standing.
  4. He who kneels before God can stand before anyone.
  5. In the sentence of life, the devil may be a comma–but never let him be the period.
  6. Don’t put a question mark where God puts a period.
  7. Are you wrinkled with burden? Come to the church for a face-lift.
  8. When praying, don’t give God instructions – just report for duty.
  9. Don’t wait for six strong men to take you to church.
  10. We don’t change God’s message — His message changes us.
  11. The church is prayer-conditioned.
  12. When God ordains, He sustains.
  13. WARNING: Exposure to the Son may prevent burning.
  14. Plan ahead — It wasn’t raining when Noah built the ark.
  15. Most people want to serve God, but only in an advisory position.
  16. Suffering from truth decay? Brush up on your Bible.
  17. Exercise daily — walk with the Lord.
  18. Never give the devil a ride — he will always want to drive.
  19. Nothing else ruins the truth like stretching it.
  20. Compassion is difficult to give away because it keeps coming back.
  21. He who angers you controls you.
  22. Worry is the darkroom in which negatives can develop.
  23. Give Satan an inch & he’ll be a ruler.
  24. Be ye fishers of men — you catch them & He’ll clean them.
  25. God doesn’t call the qualified, He qualifies the called.
  26. Read the Bible — It will scare the hell out of you.

  1. 🙂 My favorit is that there are not many candidates for the priesthood, but no lack of them for Pope.

About Me

Michael, a sinner saved by grace, sharing what the good Lord has shared with me.

Solomon, in the book of Ecclesiastes, said, “I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind.”

If you’re not living for the glory of God, then what you’re doing is meaningless, no matter what it is. Living for God gives life meaning, and enjoying a “chasing after the wind” is a gift from God. I’m doing what I can to enjoy this gift daily.

Got questions? I’m not surprised. If you have any questions about Chasing the Wind, you can email me at chasingthewind@outlook.com.
