The Ten Tenets of Way Anchor
Show Me a Sign
John 20: 30 “Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples which are not written in this book (The Bible); but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in His name.
Signs of faith in Jesus are everywhere. People wear jewelry, t-shirts with messages, and even tattoos that show their faith. People put symbols of Christ in their yards and on their front doors. They put fish emblems, crosses, and bumper stickers on their cars, or even hang rosaries from their rear-view mirrors. Some non-religious businesses such as restaurants, auto shops, or retail locations will display a verse of the day or have a plaque on the wall that shows their Christian faith, even though this may alienate some customers. Church crosses are beacons to entire areas of the city, sometimes being visible from places where such displays are not permitted (i.e. a giant cross on top of a church across the street from a public school). In many small towns across America and Europe, the oldest and largest building in the town is the church building. There is no power or magic in any of these objects, but the Way Anchor traveler knows that when they see one of these, that at some point, someone was inspired by God to hang that sign, erect that cross, build that church, or slap that bumper sticker on their car. It’s the back story that inspires rather than the object itself.
