Jesus Junk.
There is more Jesus garb out there today than ever before. There is a shirt that says "Jesus is my Homeboy" that is being worn by Madonna, Brad Pitt, Pamela Anderson. They're such wonderful Christian role-models! Thanks guys for helping our teens to think JC is OK. Tell us again Madonna about kissing Brittney Spears on national TV, why didn't you give your "Homie" a shout-out that night? Oh and Pamela, Jesus and you are tight huh? Rock on 'til the dawn.

WWJD bracelets. For a while there were a bunch of teens who hopped on the WWJD band wagon and totally DDWJD (Didn't Do What Jesus Did.) For those of you who are serious about WWJD there is a 14k gold bracelet with those same letters on it, retails at about $300. But ask yourself WWJB? (What Would Jesus Buy?) Maybe He'd buy the $20 WWJD Boxer shorts.

Seems like every car around at the stoplights has a Fish next to the tail-lights, and in case there are any Greek speaking truck drivers on the road out there, there is the ever-famous Greek Jesus Fish. No wonder America is such moral and Godly nation! According to the number of Icthi on everyone's car, approximately 88% of America is Christian. Would've never guessed that high? Hmmmm, wonder why that is?


LUKE 6:46 Why do you call me Lord, but do not do what I say?

So what are you going to do about it?

The first verse and chorus of Steven Curtis Chapman's "The Change":

Well I got myself a T-shirt that says what I believe
I got letters on my bracelet to serve as my ID
I got the necklace and the key chain
And almost everything a good Christian needs, yeah
I got the little Bible magnets on my refridgerator door
And a welcome mat to bless you before you walk across my floor
I got a Jesus bumper sticker
And the outline of a fish stuck on my car
And even though this stuff's all well and good, yeah
I cannot help but ask myself--


[CHORUS]
What about the change
What about the difference
What about the grace
What about forgiveness
What about a life that's showing
I'm undergoing the change, yeah
I'm undergoing the change

Pop-Christianity is a supplement to those who take their walk seriously, and a fashion statement for those who think "Jesus is My Homeboy" t-shirts look cute (think Buddy Christ bobble head figurines). Instead of fussing about it, why don't you allow your light to shine so that others will see that, in your life, it's more than just a t-shirt or bumper sticker?

Amen

Verily i say unto you, Jesus would not wear a WWJD braclet

 

[Buzz Dixon]

Verily i say unto you, Jesus would not wear a WWJD braclet

Then again, He doesn't need to!

WWJD? Babble excitedly in Aramaic. Most likely.

Maybe they should have a stall next to the donation box at church.

How about a WWJD slot machine, or WWJD gambling chips at casinos? ... better yet, a WWJD slot machine using WWJD money chips next to the donation box at church.

I used to be involved in the production end of Christian music and was in and out of Christian bookstores all the time. I was always a little shocked by all of the "Jesus junk" at the counters.

I can't for the life of me understand why otherwise well meaning Christians believe that reducing the Gospel of Christ to a mere pop culture icon like Pop-n-Fresh is a good thing.

If Jesus needs us to make Him hip, that's a good sign that we're following the wrong Jesus.

All of that having been said, I do have a plaque in my office that says "WWRRD" (What would Ronald Reagan do).

Man I want one of those plaques lol.

I would say it's the intent, not the content that makes it junk.

 

[Dimithriceas]

I can't disprove it, but you can't prove that either Just because something isn't documented that doesnt mean it didnt happen =) It's not like babbling is against god's will or something of the like. hehe

Well, I don't think the stickers and t-shirts are bad either. I personally have a fish on my truck as well as a sticker that says Real Men Love Jesus. I want people to see something about Jesus on a car instead of all the filthy bumper stickers I see each day. I would rather see a Christian fish then a rainbow celebrate diversity or a pro-choice any day. Oh, I also have two other stickers. One on one side of the window says, Abortion is murder, and then on the othe side it says But God can forgive.

If it is a fashion statement, it is wrong. Personally I see them as great witnessing tools. Also, me and my daughter like to wave to those who have the Christian fish on their car so as to greet a brother or sister. You can really tell those who have it there for the right reasons. they get excited to meet others out on the road.
