Christianity is a beautiful religion with a big problem. Marketing. No other religion feels so compelled to proselytize through the dubious medium of bumper stickers (except Wiccans, and they just do it to be silly).

3. As sure as God puts his children in the furnace, He will be in the furnace with them.
4. God allows “U Turns”!
5. In the sentence of life, the Devil may be a comma but DO NOT LET him be the PERIOD! (Leave that to Tampax)
6. Walmart isn’t the only saving place!

12. God made round faces; man makes ’em long.
13. For all you do,  His blood’s for you!
14. Be ye fishers of  men. You catch them — He will clean them. (God will skin and gut us?)

17. Y2K= Yield to the King.
18. Jesus is my ROCK ‘N I’m on His ROLL.
19. Want to avoid burning?  Use “Son” block.
20. Who lit the fuse for the ‘Big Bang’?
21. You don’t have to dial STAR345 to talk to Jesus. (Jesus carries a cell?)
22. Fear knocked. Faith answered. No one was there.
23. The prodigal son was having a bad ‘heir’ day!
24. Remember the banana– when it left the bunch it got skinned.
