Are you tired of those who tell you they are tolerant but tolerate everything EXCEPT Christianity? Simply mind boggling how the saving message of Jesus causes such a strong reaction one of the politically correct crowd. Almost every vestige of Christianity continues to be stripped from the culture.
Only one place they can't strip it's off your back.
This is exactly why the wearing of Christian clothing and Christian jewelry has caught on so powerfully among believers who wish to share their faith and counter the anti-God culture. Christian T-Shirts are hugely popular, with messages taken right out the Bible emblazed across the front and back in brght and bold shirts with very creative designs.
T-shirts was a cultural phenomenon back in the Sixties. Today, they're a part of the social fabric in our world. They're used for advertising, for marketing, to create a statement, to tell the world your politics, your situation on social issues or simply to make people smile. Therefore it is no wonder that Christians saw the chance, too.
The average T-Shirt is seen by 3,000 people during its lifetime of wear. That's a huge audience and also the number of Christian T-Shirts in use today now reaches the millions. Christian clothing and Christian apparel can be found in shopping center kiosks, at Christian bookstores and thru several dozen online stores that always offer huge selections... some with many designs.
Talk about an effective evangelism tool! Christian T-Shirts are available in all sizes and styles, from toddlers to triple huge adult sizes. There are designs for teens, ladies and kids and many are creative parodies of cultural icons. You can even find Christian biker T-Shirts.
This year, long-sleeved Christian shirts and Christian sweatshirts and Christian hoodies took off. Same with Christian caps and hats.
Another big trend is in Christian jewelry. It going in the 1980's with an explosion in Christian crosses worn round the neck. Now they've been accompanied by Christian bracelets, Christian headbands, Christian sliders, Christian rings, Christian watches and Christian earrings.
We reside in a casual society where T-Shirts are worn just about everywhere. But some offices, schools and workplaces prohibit T-Shirts during working hours. This is where Christian jewelry comes in.
Christian jewelry could be worn everywhere. Especially popular are Christian rings, which generally come in Sterling Silver and have attractive designs such as the Crown of Thorns or a cut-out cross.
So although it may seem like the culture has conspired to help keep the Christian message from everyday life, there are ways to counter that intolerance by sharing your trust in a way that speaks just as loudly like a billboard.
Although we noted that certain areas prohibit T-shirts, we should also explain that is changing rapidly. Just browse around your school or workplace, for instance.
Casual dress is the latest rage nowadays in the workplace. While ratty-looking clothes are never appropriate, a clear T-Shirt, worn under a jacket, is downright fashionable. Most Christian T-Shirts have distinctive and attractive designs, are available in dark colors that look well in many situations.
During non-working hours, Christian T-Shirts could be worn by themselves or having a another shirt, unbuttoned, as the top layer. There's also Christian sweatshirts, long-sleeved shirts as well as hoodies. The bottom line here is that Christian clothing and apparel matches almost everywhere.
Wear your witness lying on your back. Get the message out with a Christian T-Shirt or some Christian jewelry. They speak powerfully to some culture that needs to hear for the first time.
Lots of time, you don't have to say anything. Someone will discuss your short, often in complete agreement or, more often, by asking, "what does which means that?"
That's your opportunity so that you can share the gospel. You can explain a Bible verse. Tell the quesytioner the context from the message as explained in scripture or simply let them know how you came to Christ, exactly what a difference He has made in your lifetime and how anyone can find forgiveness and true purpose.
Everything starts with the shirt. Exactly what a great opportunity!
