Gods Billboards Invade Cyberspace

Once upon a time, Americans traveled the highways searching for the latest word of God. But not anymore! Those same roadside messages, plus a batch of new ones, can now be viewed anytime at home on your own personal computer.

Do you remember the original billboards? Someone in Florida started the ball rolling with eighteen messages in white type on black billboards all "signed" by God.

South Florida motorists spotted such disarming "quotes" as:

* Let's meet at my house before the game. -God

* C'mon over and bring the kids. -God

Others messages spoke in a friendly but more serious tone:

* What part of "Thou Shall Not . . ." didn't you understand? -God

* That "Love Thy Neighbor" thing . . . I meant it. -God

Fast forward six years and we find that God, like the rest of us, now prefers sending his messages through cyberspace. If you want to see the latest trend, here's where to go:

Click onto God Speaks.com (http://www.godspeaks.org). Their graphics will grab you. Also, you'll find all eighteen of the original sayings as well as nine brand new ones at the same web site.

Like the originals, these new "quotes" vary from witty to thought-provoking. For instance:

* All I know . . . is everything. -God

* If you must curse, use your own name. -God

* The real Supreme Court meets up here. -God

If you are looking for quantity of "Godspeak" messages, Inspirational Message - God's Billboard (http://skywriting.net/inspirational/messages/gods_billboard.html) wins that category with 141. And they actually invite you to send your own entry. Care to create God "quote" No. 142?

On the lighter side, and most of their messages are on the lighter side:

* I told Noah to swat one of those two mosquitoes. -God

* Don't be afraid . . . I'll keep a light on for you. -God

Others carry more of a message:

* To all the unborn, I love you . . . I love you . . . I love you. -God

* No matter how you nurse a grudge it won't get better. -God

And their site even serves up a few puns:

* Pray up in advance.

* In the dark? Follow the Son.

If those witticisms aren't your cup of tea, click over to Victoria Station.us (http://victoriastation.us/God's%20Bill boards.htm.) Many of these fifty-two anonymous "God speaks" come straight from the scriptures. Is it effective? See for yourself.

Simple white print on black background warns us:

* Wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction. Don't follow the crowd. -God

Or asks us:

* When I was hungry, did you give me something to eat? -God

Others directly challenge skeptics:

* Make up your mind; is Jesus a lunatic, a liar, or my onlybegotten Son? -God

* Would you give up your life to perpetuate a hoax? Neither would Stephen, James, Peter, or Paul. -God

Still others attack the prevailing wisdom of our times:

* Evolution is the mythology of fools. -God

* If I didn't exist, neither would atheists. -God

Say, do you think people really ought to be signing God's name to their own words? One "quote" seems to answer that very question:

* My word is sufficient. Beware of those who add to it or subtract from it. -God

Entertainment or inspiration, whatever the attraction, the internet "Godspeaks" continue to grow in popularity. You may smile at some, chuckle at others, and possibly wince at a few. But if you enjoyed the originals, you just might find some golden nuggets among the newer generation too.

Check them out. One thing they are not, and that's boring!

Biblically Speaking of Evil and National Security
We have been learning to think Biblically and speak Scripturally about evil in order to teach our children about the dangers present in our fallen world, while setting our affections on things above (Colossians 3:2) and staying Spiritually minded (Romans 8:6). We first noticed that "it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret" (Ephesians 5:12), so we don't speak of those things.

Islamic World Domination
The question is not whether terrorism is now a world-wide reality, but why is terrorism happening at all?

Do they have a goal?Who are these people? Why are they willing to go to such desperate lengths? Why are their own lives apparently expendable? Why do they target innocent civilians who have no direct conflict with them, and have no understanding of their agenda? Why attack office towers? Why attack buses carrying innocent, unarmed civilians? Why disguise themselves as normal passengers, or shoppers, or college students? Why hide in the everyday crowd, then attempt to perpetrate as much carnage and damage as possible? How do you fight an enemy you cannot identify until it is too late?Why are all these attacks committed by Islamic adherents? Is this only coincidence, as some would make us believe? Would it not be expedient to pay some attention to the Islamic religious orientation, and ask some searching questions?In our multi-cultural democratic society we embrace diversity.
