We Christians love these things but truthfully,they make no sense, but we Christians love em.
That's why we fell all over that wwjd thing without ever considering, we ourselves world not and could not do what Jesus did.
But who cares? It's a catchy thing and looks good on a bracelet.
There's no winning when confronting christian jargon.
That wwjd thing is I good example. For us to feel comfortable in our choices, we set the bar unattainable high, that way, when we don't reach it, we don't feel so bad.
Let's take a look at christian slogan theology.
These are pics I find while browsing.
Keep in mind, I'm doing this as a way to illustrate, how far we've come from God's Word in context. We've traded God's Holy Word for a watered down version of serious passages, and we wonder why communicating with a younger generation is frustrating.
What does that first line conjure up in your mind. Can u believe, we label the gospel as "something"
The way this is said it makes it appear underhanded.
Also, I'd hate to break it too Ya but most of us can sin pretty good without the devil being around.
And that talk about "winning in the end" like it's some game.
People are quick to say "that's not what I meant" but when folks my age spend a considerable amount of time cleaning up this watered down sound bite theology, with their children, it becomes bothersome. These sayings make us feel "special" and when anyone tries to point to the clear message of God's Word in context (which sure ain't us being special) it gets nearly impossible to discuss anything relevant.
I'm gonna add many more slogans I find on this post, it's not tough to find.
I see lots of these. Can u guess the problem?
When a Holy title of God ALONE is applied to "us", it's time to begin to worry where our heads are at.
Try this. Count how many times "I" & "my" is used in this "prayer."
Makes me wonder who the focus is.
And if a church goer is for real in there seeking understanding.
Try counting the number of times "you" are referred to, in your next church sermon, and compare that to how much Jesus is addressed.
Might surprise ya.
