Christian T-Shirts

This is definitely one of the more effective ways to share your faith. Everyone wears shirts, so why not turn us into walking billboards for JC? And while we’re at it, lets make them look like other, more popular t-shirts to trick our lost friends!

The ole bait-and-hook: fashion edition.

Before ya knew it, we have walking evangelists all over the place! Instead of an AEROPOSTLE shirt, it's OURAPOSTLE. Boom. ABERCROMBIE & FITCH? Nope. ABREADCRUMB & FISH. That one is a soul piercer.

Guy #1: Hey! Is that a Tommy Hilfiger shirt?
Guy #2: Nope. Look closer bro. It’s a Tell Jesus He’ll Forgive shirt.
Guy #1: Whoa. I…uhh…wow. Can you pray for me?!

This outreach method is flawless because you could be bold in your faith without having to actually open your mouth. The t-shirt does the talking. Words are overrated anyway. In fact, conversation just takes away from the "T". There were no words I could say to add or take away from the powerful message displayed on my chest (Rev. 22:18-19).

Christian T-shirts may be the most effective form of sharing your faith to the unbelieving world. If Jesus lived in today’s world of graphic design and printing presses, he’d be all over it. He could just storm through the temple with a Jesus is my Homeboy robe and point to it. Wouldn’t even need the whip.

I always like to think these shirts are starting revivals at schools all over the nation. It would start with one student, who mistakes the Christian shirt for a more recognizable logo. From there, the shirt wearer would stand in the middle of the hallway with their thumbs pointed to the shirt and let the Holy Spirit do his damage…

Girl #1: Hey. Cool shirt! I love Starbucks Coffee!
Girl #2: I do too. But it doesn’t say Starbucks Coffee. It says Sacrificed For me. Eh?
Girl #1: Oh. (starts breathing deeply) Wow. Okay. That’s…convicting. (drops to floor on knees) I need to fast for a while.

And the revival begins…
