NASCAR Driver for Christ! (Plugs "The Passion" on car hood)

[villager]

Witnessing moves from
revival tent to fast lane

In Daytona 500, Bobby Labonte will try
to steer non-believers with ad for
‘The Passion of the Christ’ on hood

The crew and race car of NASCAR driver Bobby Labonte wait for inspection before the start of Daytona 500 qualifying on Sunday. On the hood of Labonte's car is the promotion of the controversial movie, "The Passion of the Christ." “It’s a chance to get the word out,” Labonte said.

The hood of Labonte’s car is both a shameless movie plug — “The Passion of the Christ,” coming soon to a theater near you — and some new-style proselytizing for the Gospel.

Yes, witnessing has moved from the revival tent to the fast lane.

“It’s a chance to get the word out,” Labonte said about the ad on his car. “Someone who is curious about Jesus and has never been saved sees the race and says, ’Hmmm, I’d like to see what that’s about.’ ... Maybe we can change their minds.”

3. Just because I'm a history nut...

the priest who was credited with the remark "praise the Lord and pass the ammunition" on December 7, 1941 later said that he never said those words. Now there's honesty for ya. That's what we need more of these days. Just a thought.
