Billboard Contest to bring lost back

[Rich]

Hi, maybe what I propose will fall flat on face but will attempt anyway.  "Does God believe in us?" posting by Ded2DaWorld inspired this thread.  If it stinks, I apologize Ded.
Know so very many people who are atheist, agnostic, or follow a path instead of following Christ, due in my opinion to being more anti Christianity than pro atheist, agnostic, etc.  That is in real life.  On www., just read some of forums by former Christians and see this even more.  Once get through the angry language and see the feelings really of fear and hurt, it is sad and breaks my heart.  Have Facebook now, and a number of brothers and sisters will post what amounts to the old chain letters (did not know they still existed):  Pass this on or burn baby burn, or these following famous people did not believe and had tragic end and they will burn eternally, Thank G_D!!!
As been discussed on forum many times, all this leads to ugly things that hurts people emotionally and history shows leads to even greater harm than emotional.
OK, share the above diatribe, full of enough subjectiveness to turn anyone off, to ask this:  If you could put only three things on your billboard for church you were part of (big, big Billboard) that would get the Lord's message out in manner we believe is biblical, what would this be?  Something that may resonate with those who have been fed a distorted ugly message and led by those who believed this message.
Thank you.
Peace.
Rich

This one made me think awhile. 
How about Jesus hanging on the cross saying, "Father, forgive them. They don't know what they are doing."
and below that this quote from John 3:17
"For God did not send the Son into the world in order to judge the world, but that the world might find salvation and be made safe and sound through Him."

Hello,

Do not wish to be judge of "contest" as have no talent for doing what asking others to do.   :winkgrin:  For mine Ded, like both very much.  This would be a start for sure.  Think also for ET brothers and sisters, even within their theology, this would be good reminder as they drove by.

Thanks.  Hey, at a grand a pop, how many of your signs can we afford to order?

[ded2daworld]

I can pay for 1/1000 of a sign each month so all I need is 999 other UR people in my area that can do the same :laughing7:

Hi, not to compete with you, but I will go $10.00 .  To sweeten the pot for this contest, will give a smiley face to the winner.  Wow.

I would be tempted to have four big lines, which might read something like:

Need a Hug?
Yah!!!
Me too!
...God

[ded2daworld]

Sounds good VB, but IMO, it implies God needs something from humans. I don't think he does. Never has, Never will. To me, it sounds like God is saying we're both out of luck because there is no one to hug us. :Peace2:

[Lazarus Short]

God does not need anything from humans - right, ded.  He does need humans however.

The thread title "...to bring the lost back"  gets me to thinking - no, we're not lost, exactly, we're only misplaced.  No, wait, God knows where we are, so we're not even misplaced.  We're right where He wants us. 

So...all that "lost" language in sermons and hymns is just ET propaganda.  We may be lost in our own frame of reference, but never in God's frame of reference.

Good point ded:  how about...

Want a Hug?
Yah!!!
Me too!
...God

[ded2daworld]

I think this one is catchy to me, but not necessarily to the over amused "joe sixpack".
Could be rewritten with Gary's original premise.
