So far I've only seen one in CALIFORNIA!

That's a good one.

Hehehe... and that's the ONLY place you'll ever see it!

Woo hoo! New billboard day!

Ugh. I hate gimmicky Christian slogans.

Oh, come on. Some of those billboards are very, very clever -- and they just might make someone think a little. You never know.

Cleverness isn't necessary when you have Scripture. And usually when I see churches/Christians using cutesy slogans, it's because they don't actually know Scripture.

No it really is useful, and someone maybe needing something clever like that to get them out of the valley they are in.

They don’t actually know scripture? I beg to differ, sir!

Campaign History:

The Idea

In 1998, an anonymous donor contacted an advertising agency with an idea for a local billboard campaign that would create a spiritual climate and get people to think about a daily relationship with a loving and relevant God. The agency came up with the idea of creating a series of quotes from God to be placed on billboards.

The billboards would be simple and easy to read—black boards with white type, and all “signed” by God. No logo. No address or phone number. Not religious or condemning. Just straightforward messages that would rightly represent God.

Eighteen sayings were selected to run on billboards in south Florida, ranging from serious to moving to funny; all intended to make the reader smile and think about God—perhaps in a new way. The campaign was scheduled to run for three months.

From Nine Billboards to 10,000

I didn't say they didn't know Scripture I said "USUALLY CHURCHES/CHRISTIANS..."

Still, I don't see the need for catchy slogans when we have Scripture, the most powerful tool that we have.
