Make no mistake, friends. There is a hard-fought war underway. This war is not taking place in some desert landscape or in some jungle across the sea. This war is being fought every day in our schools and on the streets we walk down. The enemy is not our neighbor, but rather the evil influence of Satan upon the lives of people who could be avid warriors for God who wear Christian clothing and witness as we should be to any who can listen.
The weapons the enemy employs against people are subtle and easy-to-miss. Satan employs the media as a master tactician employs troops on a battlefield. He delivers sinful messages daily in the form of television and movies, made by people who unwittingly serve him. They tell it is okay to have sex with many partners and to act selfishly against God's Will. While not nearly as potent, Christian t-shirts can be used as a weapon to fight back in some small measure.
Our enemy is as powerful as any natural disaster and as cunning as any villain could be. If you think for one instant that he hasn't taken a special interest in you personally, then you are being a fool. Satan wants you to fail, and he's made things like wearing Christian t-shirts so unstylish that it has become a painful decision to actually wear them.
Making my Christian brothers and sisters feel bad for not wearing Christian apparel is not my intent, but don't you think that it's a bit ridiculous that something we believe in so strongly and vehemently that we dedicate our lives in worship to it suddenly becomes so difficult to talk about in public? Satan has branded us nut jobs and fanatics to a world he wants to ignore us. Our only answer to this has to be to spread God's word even farther.
It is time to ramp up our efforts to convert the sinners of America. There is not much time, and Christ could return at any moment to hold us accountable for all that we have (and have not) done. If one soul turned their eyes inward and questioned their sinful life because of Christian clothing you wore to the store, would it not be worth it? It is not a matter of what is "cool" anymore...it is a question of salvation.
