My guess: The pastor is talking about self-restraint. Don't go with your first reaction - possibly violent, loud, and/or offensive - when confronted with something or someone you don't like.

But I could be wrong. That has nothing to do with "forgiveness." You could restrain yourself and still be unforgiving.

You should call the pastor and ask him (or her), "WTF?"

Let me know how s/he responds.

Someone should consider the source
Okay... There's all kinds of things wrong with what you just said.

PSALM 81:13, MAYBE?

It means that rather than launching an ugly barrage of critical sputum when someone you know makes a mistake, you should be humble and swallow your words.

Yes.

But SOMEONE should have recognized the existence of an alternate connotation before putting it on a church sign.

I'm sure they were well aware of it, and that the double entendre would draw a lot of attention.
GAH!

For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

Indeed. You are now suspect.

See how that works?

Dang! And I thought that was clever... Fuck me pink~

Sounds like sexual billboards.

"Fuck me pink"

"Pot me brown".

"Slip one in the back-pocket"
Bah!
