A Picture Is Worth a Thousand Words

This billboard caught my attention on my way home the other night, and I've been thinking about it (and the role of the church in general) for a while now. For those of you in the New Orleans area, it was at the bottom of the off ramp going from I-610 to Franklin Ave. (it has been replaced with another billboard, so you can't see it now) If you can't read the sign, it says: A Church That Is Proud to Participate In The HIV/AIDS Fight - FREE Condoms - FREE HIV Tests and more! St. John #5 Church - www.myspace.com/campacehiv

What say you?

I don't know what to say about the free condoms. Free HIV testing is good. But condoms reinforce the responsibility-free sex mentality that our nation has.

I think the new billboard from Sprint is more meaningful to churches.

Sprint Friends & Family adding values.

I love the one guy with the black shirt which reads " Got AIDS?"
I wonder if helping people protect themself while the church is attempting to reach them with the gospel is not such a bad idea.
