Sporting the message...

I've heard both opinions about the idea of wearing Christian apparel, haveing bold Christian art in your home or business, or witnessing through your stuff in general. Obviously, as a designer of many of these products, I side with those who favor the use of these tools. Plenty of people out there are Christians that are in the world (and it's stuff) but still provide a good witness for both our Creator and Christians as a whole. There are just as many, wearing a Metallica shirt or hanging a Picasso print in their houses, that claim they are providing a good witness to unbelievers, yet are not. Believe me, I have nothing against you if you are the one rocking the Metallica shirt, but I do hope you are balancing that with sometning (wearable or not) that lets people know that you serve God above being a Metallica fan. On the other hand, many Christians drive around with their bumper stickers and walk around the mall with their Christian t-shirts and offer no witness worth speaking of. My hope is that the Christian community will embrace these fine toos of witness, be educated about the message portrayed, and be proactive in sharing it with an unbelieving world. Yeah, it's a little harder to give someone the bird, from your car, while displaying a bumper sticker that says 'Don't get burned by Hell'. Sure, you have to watch your anger if someone runs into you at the mall and you're sporting the WWJD shirt you got for Christms five years ago, but that is the beauty of being bold enough to carry a visual snippet of the message every place you go. It is not only for the possibility of opening up a stranger to the message of Jesus, but it might help in your self-discipline and motivate and encourage you at the same time.
