*************************************************************
Today, as I passed by a church Building in a
rural community in the mid-state of South Caro-
lina, there was a message on the sign outside the
church building that read; "Mothers are God's
Angels on Earth." Let's look into Scripture and
see if this is a responsible message to be posted
to the public in the "Mother's Day" season.
Persons outside our community of faith are
totally ignorant of this subject. We must take into
account that Scripture always refers to angels in
the masculine gender. The only names given to
angels are Michael, Gabriel and Lucifer. Another
issue is the power, majesty and awe they demon-
strate at every reported sighting from the Scrip-
ture. The message on the board might be cute and
fuzzy, but is hardly appropriate or meaningful.
The primary objection to this kind of publicity is
miss-information published this way. Every message
on a church sign should be first, Scriptural, second,
meaningful, encouraging and with the goal of rea-
ching lost and dying persons in need of our Lord.
Every erroneous message is just another missed
opportunity to inform correctly, and win souls to our
Lord, saving them from a fate of indescribable hor-
ror.
