BSF Approved: Revelation
My sister Julia wore her "Jesus loves you/Deal with it" hoodie sweatshirt to her BSF (Bible Study Fellowship) meeting last week. Big hit. I suppose the Bible got some attention, too, but people really liked the shirt. (We'll see if I have to send referral money Julia's way...)
Whether you're a BSF participant or not, the "Jesus loves you/Deal with it" sweatshirt is a crowd pleaser (scientific proof pending). It's also available on t-shirts (and more!) from CafePress, though not the thong -- if you're going that far to evangelize, well, ya got problems. And if you've bought-out your leased Lexus, celebrate with a bumper sticker.
Coffee mugs make excellent gifts (Einstein, I believe, proved this one; I'll have to look it up). Valentine's Day is coming and they're perfect for filling with Dove miniatures and diamonds. Try it yourself! Buy two mugs in case the first experiment goes horribly, horribly wrong (neglect eye safety at your own peril).
Free shipping on purchases over $50 with coupon code: VDAYSHIP, through February 3rd. So there's up to 15 bucks I've just saved you. Go crazy.

2 Snarky Remarks:
Grafted Branch, at 9:49 AM
Graft, buddy, lighten up. Is your savior the one who spoke the words recorded in Matthew 10:34? Sounds pretty confrontational to me. And if he's not, then read the shirt again, amigo.
You're welcome to your opinion and your theories on the unworthy and the self-worthy. I'd rather people understand that Jesus loves them regardless of their opinion of him and then experience the transforming power of the Holy Spirit. But maybe that's just me.
And, Graft, since you're in San Antonio, check out The Choir performing live at The Door (in Dallas) a week from Sunday. They're workmen who are more than worthy of their wages.
(People wishing to send me ungodly tribute should know there are postal regulations precluding the delivery of slaughtered livestock. So don't do it, okay?)

Besides, we should be careful and objective as we select the way we present His Truth to a world lost in darkness. There are two types of lost that I see in the scriptures: the unworthy and the self-worthy. Where the first is concerned, there is no place for antagonism in His message. The t-shirt you describe as well as many other contemporary faith challenges are sarcastic and confrontational. They do not glorify the Creator of everything, they only make Him in our image.
