W.W.J.D. Fad

We talked a little in class about the W.W.J.D. fad and I decided to do some follow-up on it.

W.W.J.D. stands for "What Would Jesus Do" and it is a way that people find ethical guidance when they are faced with life's many dilemmas. 

However, it has become more of a fashion fad than anything else. It's now a popular trend to don W.W.J.D. wrist bands and many athletes even wear them to their competitions.

Apparently this idea originated with the book In His Steps by Charles Sheldon in which many characters face moral dilemmas and are forced to think "what would Jesus do?" The shocker is this: Sheldon was in fact a liberal who believed in evolution, accepted criticism of the bible, and didn't observe many essential doctrines of Christianity.

Interesting, huh? I bet not many people knew that! To learn more about how the W.W.J.D. bracelets are not true evangelism, click here to read the article I got my info from!
