ForU.ms Slogan! Help us decide which one to use!

[nephilimiyr]

Nice

You like that?

Lisa0315, what you should do is, combine both Tychicus2 and GreenMunchkin's entries. Still keep them separate but add a third entry that combines these two and still give them both credit.

So you will have this as one entry:
Foru.ms *Where strangers, sojourners, and citizens gather...*

"For He Has Called Us Friends" (John 15:15)"

 

[Tangeloper]

Thanks for putting these all together in a list, Macrina! It's neat to see all the ideas people have come up with so far!

 

[Tychicus2]

I love this!

Thanks...

It fits with Erwin's vision as I understand it at least...

Added -- and much as I love Greenie, I'll take the credit for my half.

The only problem I have with John 15:15 is that it is taken out of context. I know that doesn't seem like such a big deal, but if read in context the meaning behind what Jesus is saying is different than the purpose it would be used for in a slogan. Not only that, but he is directing this comment to His disciples (and thus all believers), and it is not being directed to unbelievers.

John 15:13-15
"Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends. You are My friends if you do whatever I command you. No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you."

I think using a verse is a great idea, but I think there are probably other verses that can be used that don't have to be taken out of context. Here is one that I thought of:

John 1:4
"In Him was life, and the life was the light of men."

This one could go along with the Bridges of Light slogan.

Or, if non-christians want to question us about the slogan we can simply explain to them what it does mean in context and use it as an outreach tool and welcome them into the Kingdom of God so that they may become His friends too?

Opps, I'm sorry Macrina, didn't mean to dis you...

 

[Macrina]

Yeah, I wasn't intending to use the verse out of context, but rather to highlight the general concept of Christians being the Lord's friends (which, actually, implies being friends with one another as well). I'm not sure what meaning was being read into it, but it wasn't intended to be specific about outreach or any such -- just a statement that Christ calls us friends.

Iz awight!

 

[Lisa0315]

I just compared our lists. I had all the ones you listed, plus a couple. You must have looked at the list while it was still in progress. I did give joint credit to a couple more based on your list, though.

Cool.

Can we keep the list at the top as we are adding new ones?

I've been editing the one up top as we go. That's what we started the thread for, yeah?

 

[Lisa0315]

Oh. We have different views, then. What you call the top, I call the bottom. Regardless, that is fine. I was just wanting it to be the first post that is viewed. I think most people have their view as the latest posted comes up first.

[Macrina]

Erwin: Might I suggest that once you've read some comments in this thread, you select, say, ten or so of these as suitable possibilities, and we have a poll to choose from there?

*Please note, many of the entries are very similar, so we should consider giving shared credit to those who thought alike, IMHO.

If I have made any errors, please let me know and I'll edit the list.

Please send any further updates to Lisa0315. I mistakenly made the list when it was unnecessary for me to do so, and for that I apologize.

WE all throw out our ideas but who all gets to decide and How? gg

 

[lovesblessing]

Hello!

When I woke up this morning I was thinking on the slogan part, so here is my suggestion.....for what it's worth!


Friends Outreaching Rejoicing Uniting.Meeting Sharing Jesus!

"A place of grace for all!"

 

[Adoniram]

Here are a few suggestions:

Ambassadors for Christ (2 Cor. 5:20)

Liberated, but by love, serving one another. (Gal. 5:13)

A community of friends who live and walk in the Spirit. (Gal. 5:25)

Friends sharing faith, hope, and love. (1 Cor. 13:13)

Friends
Of the
Redeemer-
Uniting a
Multitude of
Souls
