This place distributes the bread of life... but only if you're old enough!

OK, so this sign is a bit of an odd duck... it isn't that there is really anything horribly wrong about their marquee message.  It is true that churches are to be the proclaimers of the Gospel and in that you could say, although a bit cliche and cheesy, churches ARE distributors of the bread of life.  Because Christ is that life.

Where this one gets odd is their church slogan that states that they are a church for 50 or better.  I can only assume that by that they mean that their church is there for the 50 years and older crowd.  So if we combine the 2 messages we get the view of this church that they are a distributor of the bread of life... but apparently they are only interested in distributing it to certain age dynamics.  So much for proclaiming the Gospel to all (Mark 16:15).

It also raises the question.  Should we be a culture that is so given to niche churches?  Where is the line between a church that preaches the Gospel and reaches the community they are in vs making customized churches that are about us instead of God?  Discuss.

The only word to describe this one is; HERESY

 

Thanks to the Museum of Idolatry for this one...
