Like most Christian products, these only have meaning to OTHER Christians. There is absolutely no 'sharing the gospel' in these scraps of wood. Since when are we called to live in a Christian Ghetto?
Well, they'd certainly be less kitschy, anyway. I have the Greek words "charis" and "eirene", Greek for grace and peace respectively, tatooed on my arms. I guarantee they get more comments than if I just had "grace" and "peace" tatoos.
A derogatory term used to describe works created specifically in order to pander to public demand. In this case, Christian demand for cutesy knick-knacks and other pseudo-spiritual items. I feel like the word 'kitschy' could describe a lot of the contemporary Christian church. We're converting the world, one t-shirt at a time.

I've always wanted to have something like that posted in my house, but with a completely random word posted below:
"Pray"
"Hope"
"Peace"
"Love"
"Shart"
...or something. I think that would be great.
Joel, you have a very random sense of humor, you know that?
I think they'd be more spiritual if they were in Greek or Hebrew.
