I Am Without Words

The only problem with riding a bicycle is that sometimes you have to see dumb things. And since bikes aren't as fast as cars, you have to see dumb things longer.

The apostle Paul spent a good chunk of time writing about the sinful nature of men. In Romans 7:18, he writes, "I have the desire to do good, but I cannot carry it out." Or from a paraphrase: "I can will it, but I can't do it. I decide to do good, but I don't really do it; I decide not to do bad, but then I do it anyway."

The idea here is that since we are fallen humans, we're going to screw up even when we try our hardest not to. I have to imagine that's what this church was going for when they put up this sign:

But here's the thing - they put this sign at the main entrance to their church. A visitor will literally read this sign as they pull into the parking lot getting ready to go to the church. As they decide to walk in for a Sunday morning service, "You're probably about to make another mistake."
