The Apostles’ Creed, not an apostate screed!
A limited number of stickers (more on the way!) and digital downloads of high-res, print-ready images are available at https://t.co/ydwSebjQOI.
Read why I made the Creed Sign at:

“Where are the Luthers, the Spurgeons, the Ryles that roused sleeping generations with masculine boldness? We have few and need more. When masculine directness, Christlike candor, and warlike speech fade from the mouths of good men, the world and church suffer rot.”

Theologians--hate to interrupt your comfortable gig arguing with each other about 16th century theological controversies but the human race is about to be displaced by soulless machines.
We could use your help over here.
Carl Trueman once wrote, “Cultural dominance requires two things: control of time and space,” and in many cases, the secular culture recognizes this better than the church does. This is why land acknowledgements have become a thing among progressives; it is a subversive attempt to claim cultural dominance. To which I say, “No.” Instead, I offer this counterclaim in the name of Jesus Christ.
Christian Land Acknowledgement
We acknowledge that we are located on land that belongs to the Lord Jesus Christ.
The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof. The world is his and everything in it, and every land under the whole heaven belongs to him. He owns the cattle on a thousand hills — and he also owns the thousand thousand hills. He determines the boundaries of the nations and gives them their land, that all people might seek him and worship him.
So we give thanks to God for the use of his land by his providence through the hands of our ancestors. He has planted us in this land, and we ask that we may never again be uprooted out of the land he has given us. We pray that everything done on this land, including what we do here tonight, will bring honor and glory to its rightful king. And we dedicate this event, like this land, to the Lord Jesus Christ. To God our Savior be all greatness, glory, majesty, dominion, authority, and splendor through Jesus Christ our Lord before all time, and now, and for all eternity — on this land and on all lands. Amen.

@crwiley1962 Here’s one I made and have used for a while.
I don’t know your friend, the artist Jack Baumgartner, but I suspect he will do a better job.
@prayerdude@JoshuaBarzon New Saint Anne’s was named after St Anne’s on the Hill, a location in C.S. Lewis’s “That Hideous Strength.” And one of the characters who lived at St Anne’s is a bear. (It’s also my favorite animal.)
I’m going to learn something new! Or, rather, to relearn something old!
I haven’t written in cursive since elementary school — I can read it, but I don’t think I can write it anymore, at least not without writing laboriously and poorly.
