Malta has a total of 359 churches, nearly one for every day of the year. With an area of only 316 square kilometres, the country’s “church density” is slightly more than 1 church per square kilometre. It’s difficult to get lost in Malta because a church will lead you to its village center.

I love a good church sign, and I’ve noticed that churches in all different parts of the country are getting in on the action.
I think that’s a trend we can all get behind, don’t you?
Wantagh Memorial Congregational Church in Wantagh, New York, is gettin’ it done in the sign game in a major way. Some of their messages are funny and some are designed to make people think.
Pastor Ron Garner said, “Our church is located on a very busy street in Wantagh. I want to convey to the public that Christianity doesn’t have to be staid. I also want to convey to passersby that I believe people who follow Jesus are not called to be apolitical but are called to take social justice issues seriously. We are a small congregation but we have new members who came because of our signs.”
Enjoy!

As I said before, plagiarism can be a good thing. Thanks to Rev. Denoon and the students who stood up to Westboro Baptist at UNLV.

Our latest entry on our sign is getting lots of attention. This may be the last entry made on "old faithful." We are hoping that our new sign will be installed in a matter of days.

Ok, this is absolutely brilliant. A new Instagram account called PreachersNSneakers is calling out church leaders who have huge social media followings by showing the designer shoes that they wear and how much those kicks cost.
It started off as a joke between Tyler, the account’s creator, and his friends, but it’s grown into something much bigger since then.
As of this writing, the account has 125,000 followers and has blown up very quickly. Tyler said he created the account because “It started out as me being interested in sneakers and being involved with church culture … so those two things made for good comedic content.” He added, “This whole thing spun out of me sitting on my couch one Sunday. I was looking for this one song on YouTube and saw the lead singer in this worship band was wearing Yeezy 750s.”
Tyler quickly noticed a trend happening with church leaders he followed on Instagram: many of them wear expensive swag. He said, “I started questioning myself, ‘What is OK as far as optics…as far as pastors wearing hype or designer clothing?’ I don’t have an answer.” But, Tyler thinks to “have a discussion about what is appropriate” in regard to this topic.
The reactions have been varied, some people think the page is funny and others have been offended and believe it points out the hypocrisy of religion in America. One commenter said, “There’s a lot of money in the God business.”
Here are some more photos from the account. Be sure to scroll through the comments on the photos to get a taste of both sides of the argument.
