Design Your Life

I drove by a building today which had a rather large sign in front, reading "Design Your Life Ministries." What am I to make of that?

On the one hand, I can remember a time when "ministry" was the term parachurch organizations used to distinguish themselves from Churches. This raises the possibility the building houses some sort of christianized interior design firm.

On the other hand, this could be some sort of church, the gospel of which is, apparently, to enable you to design the sort of life you'd like to lead. So much for a sovereign God who saves, sanctifies, and glorifies sinners after the image of Christ.

What am I to make of "Design Your Life Ministries"? Nothing good.
