I for one am really tired of seeing the churchites have to “church-ize” everything. While I openly admit in my former years of churchianity I too might have flipped at this, but I quickly began to tire of all the copy cat stuff we keep seeing. It works for the “christian” stores as it gives them revenue. It works for the churchites as it affords them the opportunity to stay locked in the little bubbles of security they continue to build for themselves. So, would Jesus play Guitar Hero or Guitar Praise? Or, does it really matter? (I think not!) But, that said I am really tired of seeing these “kingdom” knock-offs all over the place. Would it be nice to see something original come out of the religion of Christianity? Seen Testamints?
This is another example of the “Christian” subculture that has been created. We now have “Christian” coffee shops, exercise classes, motorcycle clubs (you know about this for sure), stores, music, breath mints (please!), jewelry, etc. This subculture is completely antithetical to the mission Jesus has called us to.
My least favorite place in our city is the Christian (junk) bookstore.
AMEN!!!
