Style that Speaks

So Christian tees are sometimes pretty cool and other times pretty corny. Saying are common for these tees and usually say something common like "Smile: Jesus love you!" or unusual as "Outcast". Sometimes they dance the border-line trademark violation laws by by making shirts that say "Spirit" instead of "Sprite". Either way they are a subtle confession of faith, that I would recommend to anyone.

But how about those random tees you wear to school? You know the ones that star the cast of family guy or that bald headed, mischievous little kid who always looks like he's on a hang-over. Or the ones with random sayings like, "Hey, it's free to look".

Honestly, I don't really care whether you wear skulls or halos but I hope you do. As christians we shouldn't wear things that promote bad television shows or crude humor (like those tees for pregnant moms that say "baby feeders", 'nuf said). We should wear those Christian tees that collect dust in the closet everywhere, especially to school. Small things like wearing a christian T-shirt, like one you got at a church event, can help you strike a conversation with someone about your faith.

Take the "Outcast" shirt, for example. If you wore that to school don't you think somebody would ask you about it? Make the choice, and be the voice. (Hey, I should make that a design!)
