Church: West Haven Baptist Church (5651 Matlock Dr; Knoxville, TN 37921)
Sign: “You were created to be an answer”
Commentary: This is the actually title of a chapter of John L. Martin's 1993 book You're an Original, Don't Die a Copy!. Martin explains that God created humans to be part of the solutions to the world's problems. Martin quotes Helen Keller (1880-1968) who famously said, "I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something; And because I cannot do everything I will not refuse to do the something that I can do."
Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due,
When it is in your power to do it. (Proverbs 3:27, NASB)
Black Panther Eldridge Clever (1935-1998) said, "You're either part of the solution or you're part of the problem." How am I being part of the solution?

I think the church sign may be a bit more effective if "Rummage Sale" was removed. Just a thought.
