While we are at it

At first I thought it was a joke…but apparently - we’re dead serious.

A lanyard for the iPod shuffle. Are we freakin’ serious?

If we are going to do stupid stuff like this - how about something useful…

a Christian X-box controller…

a LIVESTRONG band of many colors that shows the way to heaven…

downloadable hymn ringtones…

LIVING water waterbottles…

for the edgy - dangling cross earring…

for the redneck - “my truck is dirty but my soul is as white as snow” bumper sticker…

also for redneck - Get Right, or Get Left mudflaps…

    I can’t believe you are a pastor but are ashamed of the cross.

    Not to speak for Grant, I’m sure he’ll pipe in…but ashamed of the cross? Hardly. Ashamed of the way we commercialize all the “Jesus Junk” YES! Personally I detest walking into “Christian” bookstores and seeing all the ways we make money off of Christian emblems. Of course, I guess they make it easier to live from the outside-in…if I have 50 crosses, 20 pictures of Jesus (all of which look a little like the artist who painted them), and a few 11×14’s hanging around with scripture passages I’m sure to be revered and thought to be spiritual. Come on, get real! I wonder how much of the “Jesus junk” is made in sweat shops in China?

    Grant, those other marketing tools you listed were some great ideas. I especially got a kick out of those geared toward the redeemed redneck.

    Here are a couple that could bring in some money for a mission trip or two: a fridge magnet that says WWJE (what would Jesus eat), a flickering flame you wear on your head to help complete any apostle costume, just in time for this Holloween.

    You and Wayne have spoken what many of us feel.
    Thanks
