Did you know that WWJD bands are the most stolen item from my local Christian bookshop?

i dont wear em.
but i have no problem with others wearing em.
it is not a guilt thing. its a reminder.
i myself, have scriptures that mean something to me, on my fridge, in my car, my wallet, my toilet...
they remind me of good things, and, they help me to be God minded all the time. they remind me to stay focused on God and His ways, all day.
these bracelets are just the same. its a reminder everytime you look down, that Jesus is with you, that you can talk to God wherever you are, and that you have free will, but what Jesus would do, would be the best thing to do.
i think there a good idea.
about them being the most stolen thing? hahaha how ironic. thats terrible. i guess they werent thinking about what Jesus would do at that moment, and they needed it! lol

I personally find them to be silly. How many people who wear the slogan actually live their lives with that question as a test? Just about none.
Let's see here. 6 days have passed and it is the Sabbath Day. WWJD? He would go to Synagogue! Luke 4:16 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the Synagogue on the Sabbath Day, and stood up to read.
It is the 25th of Kislev. WWJD? He went to Jerusalem for Hanukkah. John 10:22 Then came the Feast of Dedication {That is, Hanukkah} at Jerusalem. It was winter, 23 and Jesus went into the Temple area walking in Solomon’s Colonnade.
It is the 14th of Nisan. WWJD? He would celebrate Passover. Luke 22:15 And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer:
If you are hungry, then ask yourself WWJD? Do you picture him sinning and eating pork or shellfish?
If the WWJD slogan was really being used as a basis to live by then I would expect that you would want to go to Synagogue on the Sabbath Day, keep the other Holy Days of the Lord that are laid out in Scripture and keep the dietary laws that the Lord gave us. (And, no, Peter's vision of the sheet had nothing to do with doing away with the dietary laws - he said the meaning was "I should no longer call any man unclean", so if it was about food then he should have eaten Cornelius.)
If you are going to wear the WWJD slogan, then start living that way!

WEARING AND CLAIMING are two different things. Wearing WWJD band does not make any good. It will make you look cool. What makes you good is when you obey the will of God.
Claiming Jesus is walking beside us is an expression of faith. And that is good too. But still confessing your faith doesn't make you totally good.
What makes you good is when you obey the will of God.
Sorry to hear about your stolen WWJD bands. Next time, it is better to attach magnetic sensors on every item you sell.
ALL THE BEST.

Those are for teenagers, to make them feel guilty for every little thing they think and say or do.
My older brother calls those stores, "Jesus for sale",
I think he's right.
