THE
BEST EXERCISE... WALKING WITH GOD - 1 Timothy 4:8: "For
bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable
for all things, having promise of the life that now
is and of that which is to come."
Wow, the Bible talks about working out too? Yup! The
term walking with God simply means to be close to Him
always and to obey the things He tells you to do and
not to do. You're His child, no matter how old you are.
He knows what will harm you, and He knows what will
bless you. Exercise is good for you, but walking with
God and talking to God everyday is great for you. Enoch
and Noah walked with God, you can too.

DON'T
DROP OUT! OF CHURCH - Hebrews 10:25: "Not forsaking
the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner
of some, but exhorting one another, and so much more
as you see the day approaching."
People think this one's going to say "Don't drop out
- of school." Ok, we know that church attendance can't
get us into Heaven, (I hope you know that) so what do
you think Heaven is going to be like? We're going to
be with a lot of Christians, worshiping God, singing
songs, and much more! So why not get used to it now?
Church attendance is a privilege many around the world
don't get. We can worship God, learn more about Him,
help others, meet people, etc. at church. By the way,
doesn't Jesus deserve some time each week out of our
busy schedules? After all, He died on the cross for
you so you could go to Heaven.

YOU
DON'T BELIEVE IN JESUS? YOU WILL ON JUDGMENT DAY! -
John 3:36: "He who believes in the Son has everlasting
life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not
see life, but the wrath of God abides on him."
I can hear it now. "That's too harsh," or "my God wouldn't
send anyone to Hell," or "I don't believe Jesus is the
only way into Heaven," etc, etc.. First of all, it's
obvious that these people have never read the Bible;
and if they have, they don't believe it. Secondly, Jesus
spoke as much about Hell than He did Heaven. Examples?
He said in John 14:6: "I am the way, the truth, and
the life. No one comes to the father except through
Me." John 10:9: "I am the door: by me if any man enter
in, he shall be saved." Acts 4:12: "Salvation is found
in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven
given to men by which we must be saved."
So much for other ways into Heaven. Luke 16:24 says,
"Then he cried and said, 'Father Abraham, have mercy
on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his
finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am tormented
in this flame.'" I don't know about you, but I sure
would want someone to warn me about this Hell thing.
So much for too harsh!
1 Timothy 2:3-5 says, "For this is good and acceptable
in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men
to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
For there is one God and one Mediator between God and
men, the Man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself a ransom
for all." Matthew 25:41: "Then He will say to those
on His left hand, depart from Me you cursed, into the
everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels:"
God created Hell for the devil and his angels, not people.
Some people just choose to live like them and reject
Jesus. Verse 46 goes on to say, "And these will go into
everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal
life." So much for not sending people to Hell. People
create their own image of God and how they think He
should act. In the end, they will have to face Him on
their own, and their own choices in life will determine
their destination. God doesn't willingly send people
to Hell, they choose it for themselves.

SEEK
GOD IN GOOD TIMES, NOT JUST IN BAD TIMES - Psalm 105:3:
"Glory in His holy name; Let the hearts of those rejoice
who seek the LORD!"
This slogan was created for the many people who call
out to God only when they are experiencing turmoil and
then totally ignore Him when everything is going good.
It's kind of like calling a friend only when you need
something. How do you think that makes that friend -
or God - feel?
I'M
UNDER THE INFLUENCE... OF GOD : No scripture was used.
Now there are those of you who think we created this
slogan to mess with the police. That would not be far
off from the truth. As a matter of fact, a Houston police
officer owns one of these and a "Thou shall not steal"
frame! But, it's main purpose is to let others know
that God is the leading influence in their lives.
We hope He's an influence in yours too!
"THOU
SHALL NOT STEAL" MY AUTOMOBILE : No scripture was used.
Initially this was created to get some laughs, and it
has. It's also a lot cheaper than an alarm, and only
the Lord will know how many thieves will turn away when
they see it because of their conscience! It has also
ministered to people that were having a bad day until
they saw it. We do not believe this slogan condones
the worship of automobiles. The 8th commandment applies
to automobiles too.

CHRISTIANS
ARE SQUARE... WITH GOD - Romans 8:1: "There is therefore
now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus."
This slogan is what we call a combat slogan, where we
take a negative statement and turn it into a positive
one. The term "Christians are square" is frequently
used to refer to the misconception that Christians are
not fun and do not have fun. Consequently we took that
phrase one step further by adding "with God" so you
get "Christians Are Square With God," meaning our sin
debt has been paid in full by Jesus' death on the cross.

PEOPLE
GET READY... JESUS IS COMING! - Matthew 24:44: "So
you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will
come at an hour when you do not expect him."
If you're a Christian Music fan this slogan should sound
familiar to you.
We loved Crystal Lewis' song "People get ready,
Jesus is comin' "so much
that we thought it would make a great witnessing slogan.
We hope to remind believers, and teach unbelievers of
the soon appearing of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Believers in Christ sometimes need to be reminded of
2 Timothy 4:7:
"Fight the good fight, finish the race, and keep
the faith.
Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness,
which the Lord,
the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day and
not only to me,
but also to all who have longed for his appearing."
If you believe in Jesus, remember 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17:
"For the Lord himself will come down from heaven,
with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel
and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ
will rise first. After that, we who are still alive
and are left will be caught up together with them in
the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will
be with the Lord forever.
It is important for unbelievers to know that life as
they know it will be drastically changed on the day
He returns.
Matthew 24:37-41: "As it was in the days of Noah,
so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. For in
the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking,
marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah
entered the ark; and they knew nothing about what would
happen until the flood came and took them all away.That
is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. Two
men will be in the field; one will be taken and the
other left.
Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will
be taken and the other left."
