Gospel in a Tee

I have received some questions about what exactly the adoption shirt says, so I typed it out for you here. The words in bold (which are the blueish color on the shirt) are basically the Gospel in a nutshell--that in the beginning was God but we separated ourselves from Him but He promised to make a way for us to come to Him so He sent His son to be our substitute and die a shameful death so we don't have to. And in light of that love and grace, we live our lives for His glory instead of our own. Is that considered a nutshell? Probably not. Anyway, all of the other words simply have to do with adoption and are in no particular order. The ones in bold tell the gospel story in the context of adoption because the gospel naturally comes out of adoption. Pretty cool how that works out, right?

You can have one of these of your very own for a donation of $20 here (or by contacting me). Let me just say that there are still a lot left but certain sizes are going fast. So if you want one that fits, go buy it now. Yes, I said NOW. ALL of the proceeds go directly towards international adoption!
