"It pains me to see the beautiful truths of Scripture being plastered about like beer advertisements. Many think it is wise to “get the word out” in this way, but I believe that we are really just innoculating the world with bits and pieces of truth - giving them their “gospel shots.” (And we’re making it hard for them to “catch” the real thing!) People become numb to the truth when we splash our gaudy sayings in their eyes at every opportunity. Do you really think this is “opening them up to the Gospel”? Or is it really just another way for us to get smiles, waves, and approval from others in the “born-again club” out in the supermarket parking lot, who blow their horns with glee when they see your “Honk if you love Jesus!” bumper sticker?"What do you guys think? Is it bad to put catchy Bible verses on your church signs? Is it dangerous to wear Christian T-shirts? Does the use of tid-bits of Scripture on coffee mugs and armbands "innoculate" those around us to the supreme worth of Scripture (or to its message)?
