I like this translation of Matthew 7:6 in the Message,
"Don't be flip with the sacred. Banter and silliness give no honor to God. Don't reduce holy mysteries to slogans. In trying to be relevant, you're only being cute and inviting sacrilege."
Jesus is much more than a nice saying on a sign or a sly illustration in a book. He is our mysterious Savior.
In all of our attempts to be relevant, have we reduced the mysterious to mere slogans?
