It was youth
day at my church recently. The guest pastor did a good job of relating his
message to the youth in attendance. He spoke about the Amazing Spiderman versus
the Amazing Super Christian. He also talked about people having Christian Swag or
Godly Swag.
In
interpreting the pastor’s sermon, I interpreted Christian Swag as exhibiting a
lifestyle that shows others how to live for Christ. The pastor said that a Christian’s
speech should match his conduct. In other words walk the walk and talk the
talk.
I asked my
teen son what was his definition of Swag. He said, “Knowing what you’re doing;
looking good.” I said what about Christian Swag? His answer was, “believing in
God, knowing He’s the head of your life. Confident about what you believe.”
When I
searched the web for something on Christian Swag a couple of interesting sites
came up. One site identified SWAG as Saved
With A Gift and advertised t-shirts/clothing
with various sayings. Another site identified SWAG as Saved With Amazing Grace.
The last sit
I found interesting used scriptures to identify why Christians should not say
they/we have Swag. This site was someone’s personal blog. You can view the site
at shivyj.blogspot.com/2009/06/Christian-swag-read-and-please-leave.html.
One of the
commenters on the above blog said that he believed Christian Swag to be style, appearance,
and representing Christ.
What is your
definition of Christian Swag? Do you believe the term swag to be contrary to
the word of God?
