Hello? ChristianShirts.com?
Whose clever idea was this? Who woke up one bright morning and thought, “I know what people want to wear to the mall! A hand impaled on a pencil, that’s what?”
I mean, what are we trying to illustrate here? Jesus as more than a good teacher . . . yeah . . . teacher . . . teacher . . . what do you think when you think teacher? And what do you think when you think Jesus? Put ‘em together and —
No. Just no.
I don’t want to wear it. I don’t want it on a mousepad or a coaster. Here, guest, welcome to my home, and please put your drink down on the bleeding pencil-impaled hand?
No.
And —
No. [Rating: 2/100]
Well, that was easy.
You have a decision to make: double or nothing.
For this week only, a generous supporter has offered to fully match all new and increased donations to First Things up to $60,000.
In other words, your gift of $50 unlocks $100 for First Things, your gift of $100 unlocks $200, and so on, up to a total of $120,000. But if you don’t give, nothing.
So what will it be, dear reader: double, or nothing?
Make your year-end gift go twice as far for First Things by giving now.
