I sprayed " Skate for Jesus" on a ramp at the city park. I know I violated the law but I was hoping to send a message to teenagers that hang out there.

Your motive was right, your method was wrong. Spraying is a violation of the law...thus you are not sending a "Jesus" message. If I were to see that I would be thinking...Yeah right...Plus putting something large in a teenagers face...well that usually justs gets them upset. Why not hang out in the city park and get to know them...and then you can talk to them when the time is right.

Well, if it was for Jesus, ultimately it wasn't really wrong. It was, however, a violation of the law and you could get fined. But maybe it will get some people saved? It might also turn away some skaters, if any of them are athiests. God bless, and keep skating for Jesus ;)

Well you did violate the law but atleast the message wasnt offensive like most of the spray painted walls the we see. Dont worry to much about it, whats done its done, if you feel a little guilty, then dont do it again, merry christmas

Well as Christians, we are to obey the law unless it contradicts what scripture teaches. So I would say that although you had good intentions, maybe you should find another way to express Christ to others. Using graffiti is not a good idea in my opinion. We are to be in the world but not of the world. Therefore, we are held to a different standard than non believers.

Well I do know that a child up in Alaska got in trouble for holding up a banner that said Bong Hits For Jesus and it is going to the Supreme Court. So be careful.

Oh, no! Why would you try to spread jesus name? You should remove it and say "Skate and Stuff". You shouldn't try to spread any messages of you religion anywhere. That's rude and wrong and evil and intrusive of personal beliefs.
You may not realize how many people won't go there after this action.

I don't know if Jesus approves, but I know skaters don't get their messages from spray-painted ramps. Sorry dude-probably a stupid idea.

Jesus said to obey the laws of the land and you did not. Your are rationalizing your illegal action by saying you did it for Jesus.

He was probably upset that you violated the law. I think He would be happy if a teen actually thought about it and received Christ into their heart.

What message was that? That Christians don't need to follow laws? Bad message.
