The Amazing Power of... a T-Shirt?

By Ryan, October 4, 2005

This morning as I arrived at the school, I saw a guy wearing a shirt that said “Sorry, ladies... only two at a time.” This guy does not have a reputation for having girlfriends. I commented to a friend I was talking to, telling him that I don’t like it when people’s shirts tell you the opposite of what’s really true about them. But here’s the thing: wearing the shirt is easy. Getting girlfriends is not. I’ve been down that road more than once, trust me, and the road was a dead-end each time.

Apply this concept to Christianity. I’m wearing a shirt that says “Jesus Rocks” in that old AC/DC font. So many people have seen me wear it and said something along the lines of my shirt being awesome, Jesus being awesome, or me being awesome for promoting Jesus. Many of these people don’t show Jesus at all in their life. I would never walk up to these people and assume they were Christian at all. So when others see them supporting Jesus’s promoters... what are they going to think?

The moral of this story is not that you need to stop wearing shirts that don’t fit you... er, your personality. But please, still don’t wear shirts that don’t fit. That’s just as bad if you ask me. The moral of this story -- or, rather, this blog post -- is that if you can’t promote Jesus through your actions, don’t try to promote Him any other way. You’ll just make Him look bad. And if there’s one thing we don’t need, it’s for people to hate Jesus more than they already do.
