What does your church signs convey?

Do announcements remind people about the correct way to park in the parking lot? Are there signs all around the church building instructing people which doors not to enter, where to pick up children, and when to flush the toilet? Do sermons tend to focus too much on enforcing God's laws?

An easy way to tell if your church focuses too much on rules is to take a close look at your priorities. Do the signs on your walls communicate how much you love people... or are they more about keeping the building clean? Before you confront that guest about leaving a coffee cup on the table, ask yourself, "Do I care more about building a relationship with this person, or do I care much more about the building?"
