These placards made me wonder: Would I be welcome because I’m visibly saved? Which is the greater of God’s gifts, being made in God’s image or being saved, or both? Are we to rank-order these? Are we to treat the visibly saved with greater honor than all of humanity, made as it is in God’s image? Do these Bible verses that sit on placards take up the same cultural space as the rainbow flag that once resided on my flag-pole? Are these “Welcome” signs or signs that read “Insiders Only”?
This is a very convicting set if questions...
