It’s almost Christmas, which means it’s time for… Twelve Days of Jesus Junk over at Heal Your Church Website. The list is already up to Day 5, but it’s not to late to read all about such cosmic wonders as the ‘Jesus Loves You’ Kazoo and the Life-Like Baby Jesus doll. (The latter item costs over $200 if you buy it at the store. But for a mere $50, I’ll tell you how you can create your own lifelike baby Jesus doll using an ordinary toy doll—I take cash or Paypal!)
I shouldn’t make too much fun. Last time I talked about holiday Jesus Junk here on TC, I discovered that I owned one of the items being mocked. Oh, the shame.

I’m uncomfortable about a lot of this stuff. In one way it’s really no differant to the garbage that gets shoved at you when you visit the Vatican. You know, all the little statues of Jesus, Mary, Joseph and so on, stuff that the scriptures actually forbid just like their big cousins in the church. This junk is not made to lift Jesus name but to make money. I wonder if Jesus would turn the tables over on them today too. But stuff that kids can play with and see the message when they do, well, I don’t have a real problem with it but it does need to be backed up by mum and dad talking and living the message too don’t you think?
