Word Candles?
Here is the product description for 'Word Candles'.
Fragrant, glowing candles provide a beautiful way to share the Word with family and friends....With a passion to share God’s Word through candles, we have developed Scripture candles that have the Word directly on the side of the candle container. As the candle burns, you experience God’s Word in a new light.
Translation: We couldn't compete with Yankee Candles in the secular market so we slapped some Bible verses on our candles so that gullible Christians would buy them.
Uh aren't Christians suppose to spread the Word of God?? Do they really think a stupid candle can spread joy, light & peace??
How are people suppose to read the Bible verse since it seems to be printed on the cover?
Yep "Worthy Christian Bookstore" seems to very worthy of a place on this website!

One more thing - if you check out their website it is full of junk!

Doesn't this seem like a pagan idea? They have reduced Scripture to magical cantations that they write on items to bring good luck.

This could be used as an ice breaker to get into the subject of faith. You know, the same way we use Gospel tracks to break the ice. What is so wrong about this ice breaker and not Gospel tracks? I don't think this falls into the evil works of darkness category either....<*}}}><

Do you really, honestly, think that having a candle in your home with a Bible verse on will open up spiritual dialogue?!?!?
OK...so there's like a 1 in 10 million chance it COULD happen, so maybe I'd better run out and get those candles just in case!
I can see people standing before Jesus on judgment day saying, "B-b-b-b-but I had CANDLES with BIBLE VERSES prominently displayed in my home, which gave witness to my belief in you. Is it my fault no one ever asked me about them?"
