This is in front of a local church. My wife's commentary:
We have, in America, gathered around us teachers who promise us untold wealth; a perfectly healed body every time illness darkens our door; miracles, signs and wonders every time we show up; worship services that provide a "Sunday experience"; and laughter and stories that dominate the preaching, with a touch of Scripture here and there. Not enough Scripture to offend us, but just enough to make us feel like we "did church."
In Idaho, I drive by a certain church quite often. The latest series boasted by it on its marquee is, "Why Church Sucks." I know, I know. They are probably lamenting how church is inadequate in meeting people's needs, and of course, because they have figured it all out, their church doesn't suck.
