Seriously, enough with the Jesus Junk. I am tired of seeing people drop the name of the Lord on some garbage and sell it to the sheep. I'm not sure who I'm more disappointed in, the makers or the goofy people who buy the junk.

Why do we do it? Are people seriously trying to connect with God through this stuff? Does the fish on the back of your car mean that you're the real deal when it comes to following Jesus? Talk about good intentions gone astray. Have you seen this bumper sticker:

I just don't know...
There are real ways to connect with God, to feel that life-giving coneection throughout the day, to stay close to the God who loves you. I just don't think that Testamints are the ticket.

But that Buddy Christ bobblehead, now that would look great on my desk...

HT to marko.

How you gonna bust on Testamints? They whiten your teeth, freshen your breath, convict you of eating too much garlic...
don't hate the ministry just because you're still struggling with Ketone breath. One body many parts...especially that part that counts all the money that bumperstickers and t-shirts bring in.
