Church signs have between three and five seconds (unless they are at a traffic light) to make an impact on the viewer. The primary audience is really people who are already associated with that church. I do think that the cutesy sayings are taking over from the upcoming sermon topic variety.

I'm just letting my thoughts wander here, and I may have come up with something. You know how today parents strive to be their kids "friends" rather than actually doing things like setting limits and parenting? I think we're seeing the same effect in religion. God's your buddy now, rather than the rageful, jealous being that will rain down His wroth upon your unworthy head when you sin. Things that are traditional sins are either okay to do now, or at the very least overlooked.
