Proud To Be Brainwashed

I walked past a shop in town the other night and saw a yellow sign for sale in the window. In big letters, the main message said, BRAINWASHED. It definitely piqued my interest so I walked over to read the small print. It ended with a bible quote and I laughed out loud. So now Christians are proud to be brainwashed? Oh, the irony!

There was a website on the bottom of it - Kerusso.com. I went there and found all kinds of glorious products, including a version of Brainwashed on a t-shirt. You know I'm getting this for my husband for Christmas! HA!

Before I show you my favorites though, I wanted to share some of their mission, and how best to use their products, according to their home page:
Kerusso Christian [products] provide Christians the ability to share the Good News of Jesus. Today the great commission is being fulfilled through the simple act of wearing Christian Apparel.

Kerusso Christian [products are] created with one thing in mind, and that is to give the one wearing it (or giving it) the opportunity to share their faith.

As you consider the type of Christian [item] you will be wearing, remember these three simple things and make sure your next Christian [item] has them:
  • Focus quickly on the quick message of salvation – remember you only get about 3 seconds for the reader to see the design and read the message, so make sure it's eye-catching.
  • Make sure the Message is easy to understand. You want your Christian [item] to share the Gospel with a non-believer in a clear way that is not confusing.
  • Make sure the whole message can be communicated. Over 3,000 people will read your Christian Shirt, and some only about a dozen will approach you with a question. Make sure you can convey the message completely in order to reach as many people as possible.
Good to know! I will keep that in mind with my blasphemous godless t-shirts that I make.

Now, the moment you've all been waiting for. Which ones will you buy for Christmas for your loved ones? You can do all your shopping at this one site! (there are even more there to choose from if this isn't enough)

RA'men!
