| Posted 4/30/2002 6:56 PM (GMT -6) |   | My favorite is to pair up Bible verses with marketable objects like fundegelicals do.
An example: I once saw a cook-book compiled by a church. Bible verses were littered throughout this book in such a way that it was absurd, what could they possibly mean in this context? What type of exegesis could dream this stuff up? Like on the cover it quoted, “Taste and see that the Lord is good.” So I asked myself what they could possibly be meaning here. Are the baked goods God? Is God one of the ingredients? What might this verse mean if it one day ends up on a cook-book?
So one day some ex-Bible bashing friends of mine were breaking some rules at a party, and we decided to pick any object in the house and pair it up with a Bible verse in the same way. Someone points to a mug of hot coco and says “Go!” The first person who links it up with a verse wins. In our case it was that verse about since we are neither hot nor cold but only luke-warm God spits us from our mouth. See how it works? For we award extra points if you can actually remember the reference.
Someone else pointed to the mirror, “GO!”
--“For now we see as through a glass darkly…”
A flower, “GO!”
--“the lilies of the valley”
A garbage can, “GO!”
--“any verse about Gehenna”
Get the picture? The truly gifted ones can print them on tee-shirts manufactured in sweatshops and sell them for 35$ to fundegelcial stores as ‘witnessing tools.’
I know three people who came to Jesus by tasting really really good muffins and saw that the indeed were good.
A computer mouse, “GO!”
Some folks dance cool, all angels and swaying hips, Sensual as all get out and in. Me, I'm a hick, and I dance like one, I just kinda jump around and grin.
