Way back in the early ‘80s, a lot of Christians would put on badges – “Jesus saves”, “Jesus is Lord”, “God loves you” etc. Somehow, people started preaching that it is not the badge you put on that makes you a Christian or that takes you to heaven. Before you know it, badges are gradually disappearing from our dress, except for a few people who dare to put on hand bands and “Jesus Freak” badges. I believe our lives should portray Jesus; however, our badges will help to publicise the Jesus in us, help us to be on our guard and remind us that we belong to Him. Similarly, when you enter Christian homes, you will see a sign, inscription or wall decoration that will indicate belief in Jesus. If you see a Christian’s car, there will surely be a sticker.
I think it is high time we truly and genuinely live and display Christian virtues but not only that, let us publicise His name on our dress, in our homes and on our cars – in order to share the good news. The name of JESUS is powerful and it can set the captives free, heal the sick, shut the mouth of enemies, and make every knee (anything with a name) bow to Him.
What do you think?
Also,it is hard to find shirts etc that publicize Jesus and even wen you find them they do not look good.You do not feel confident wearing them, now if u dont feel confident wearing a shirt that is meant to tell ppl about Jesus they will notice it and that is not a good impression. In a world where so much is based on material things perhaps we can use that as an avenue to get to ppl, by making high quality and beautiful publicity materials that we wud be proud to show off and tell ppl about.
Agreed, Publicise Jesus (PJ) is not going to be about informing and advising only but also enabling people to do what is pleasing to God. By the grace of God we are looking at how to source and make quality materials to share Jesus with others. We have an e – shop that will be opened very soon. Please pray along with us.

Younger people are actually still wearing t shirts that publicise Jesus. I do see quite a few of them wearing “JesusLovesMe” t-shirts, for instance, but not often. I do agree, we need to go the extra mile. It is high time paste Jesus all over us, our clothes, our accessories, cars, houses. He is after all our EVERYTHING!
Jesus is our everything, if we know Him, then we should talk about Him and remind people that Jesus saves, He cares, He is Love…….. through the things we wear, our attitude, conduct and lifstyle. May God help us to do more.
Thanks Sope.
I think in some part of the world, christians still wear badges, but in europe, this is not very common.
