Try God
the first part of this sign perfectly expresses the mindset of many 'contemporary' churches view of evangelism ...
The modern church tells people to come to God for their “splinters” minimizing their greater life-threatening injury. The 'church growth' movement tells the world that God will heal marriages, drug problems, alcohol problems, etc. When the real reason that sinners ought to come to the Savior is that their life's blood is gushing from their throat. They are in debt to the Law and eternal justice. It's like a criminal saying to a judge, "I know I'm guilty of rape and murder, but I have an important personal problem that I think the courts should deal with first." Our priority should be to deal first with the fatal wound of sin before we even look at the splinters of our personal problems. read more at Puritan Evangelism
