3So, I have a question for you. What do you think about wearing Christain t-shirts? I, for one, and all for it. However, as I was wearing one today, many things I haven't thought of came to my mind. Many people think the are doing people a favor and telling others about Jesus by wearing a t-shirt that professes the Christian faith. And, yes, it does sometimes. However, I realized, how would it look to an unbeliever if a person that was wearing a Christian shirt was gossping about things, or talking about how hey partied all weekend, or any other kind of thing like that? Yes,I know how no one is perfect, not even Christians. But this just struck me today. When I'm wearing a t-shirt that professes Jesus being my Savior, I sure as better be acting like I should. He is not one to offend or fool around with. So...what's your opinion or thoughts on this?
On the the story. Well, I wore my "Relationship Not Religion" shirt today. Now, I bought this shirt at a conference that basically changed my life this past summer. Needless to say, it sums me up and is very special to me. Yet, someone totally offended me today about it.ight in the middle of math, when we were working in partners, my math teacher came over and said he liked it and asked where I got it from. I told him a yout hevangelism conference, and that threw him off and turned him off at the same time. Ya'll he totally took one of my favorite t-shirts and twisted around the meaning. I don't know how to say this, and I hope I don't offend anyone because I don't mean to, but this is a man who professes to be agnostic and ...well...has a boyfriend. Now do you get what he thought it meant? Basically that relationships (ANY kind I guess he was meaning if you get my point) is more important that religion. And that religion shouldn't govern your lives. I think. I could be wrong. But this offended me. I DO NOT want anyone to think of me that way. I do not defend or support that belief at all. I was thinking about wearing a blatant Chrisitan t-shirt to his next class to show my belief, but what do you think?

i think that he was just acting like what he was... an unbeliever. we can't expect them to act any differently as much as we would like for them to.
As for the T-shirt... let it go. Or if you do decide to wear one, make sure that you are not trying to be divisive. our goal is to bring people together and draw them to Christ. you have seen that the shirt obviously turned him off so maybe another approach would be better. Start w/prayer. Pray for your professor and his heart. Pray for your attitude to be right in this situation. Then ask God to give you another opportunity to show Christ to him.
Just my opinion :)
