WWJDO, and the new term Jesus Bling ™

WWJDO-Who Would Jesus Drive Over
Taking a little break from the blogs I like series to put this one out there.

You know from my posts so far, I don't bring "The Life" up very often here. This is my venue for letting off steam and trying to be funny. But I know a lot of you reading are family, so in love I say...

I mentioned this before, but I'm a sucker for an AM/PM Jumbo Spicy Dog. Last Thursday I was getting all set to walk in an enjoy one said AMPMJSD, when as I crossed the parking lot, a large American pick up truck began to back up in to me. Sure, this stuff happens ALL the time, and I saw the guy getting pretty mouthy through his mirror. Like I had nothing better to do than to make him late for... whatever.

Well, he didn't stop backing up either, I had to jump out of the way to keep from getting hit. And I am just starting to think "Could you be a bigger jerk?" when I saw it. Jesus Bling ™. You know the stuff. Giant, stick figure fish. "Not of This World" window decals that obscure vision. Calvin, of Calvin and Hobbs fame, praying. All the junk you put on your car to show everybody you a major playa in the Kingdom, yo.

Now, I know. You might wanna say something like "Judge not, lest ye be judge yourself". But, that is not what the Word teaches. The Word gives us the authority to discern right and wrong amongst the brethren. And this brother was bringing his Jesus Bling ™ hard up into my face. My whole body, really.

And the best way to get the "Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch" lobed at you is to be bringing your bling when you do the sin thing, and then leave your window down.

"Nice Fish", I said. Which brings up my next marketing term "Who Would Jesus Flip Off", or WWJFO.

Folks, there are a whole lot of people out there dismissing our cultural relevance out there for crap just like this, and I don't blame them. If you cannot walk the walk... and trust me, I know it's hard. Crazy evil hard! ... then at the very least keep the crap off your car so my co-workers don't have another "Jesus Jerk" to complain about. We are pretty much it. All that stands between this society and licentious evil. And judging by TV and legislature, we are FAILING! We live in a "if it feels good, do it" culture and we all know sin feels good at the time. And they are doing it. And I believe in some way we will answer for that in the Courts of Light.

And who am I to get mouthy about Road Rage? A convicted sinner, saved by grace. I happen to think those are all the credentials I need. Especially when it comes to a brother sportin Jesus Bling ™.

And that's enough for now.
