Love Your Enemies


Love Your Enemies Poster

As part of the Church Marketing Lab you can always find some interesting designs but this one really caught my attention.

Love it!

How do you think your church would respond to these posters? Reminds me of a story I heard about the one-year anniversary of the shooting at Wedgewood Baptist Church in Fort Worth Texas.

The pastor led the congregation in a singing of “He’s Got the Whole World in His Hands.”

Being post – 9/11 as well the pastor sang, “He’s got Osama bin Laden in His hands…” the church was naturally reluctant but eventually sang along.

Before the song was over though he sang “He’s got (insert name of the shooter) in His hands…” Can you imagine anyone having to sing that song about a gunman who walked into their church and gunned a group of teens down? But guess what – God holds all of those situations in his hands.

So LOVE your enemies and let God take care of the rest.

  1. Thanks for the nice things you have to say. I like that you’re taking what we made and connecting it to your pastor. What a great thing!
