Finally, some good news in the war on Christianity in America. A Christian business owner is stepping out to try to spread the Gospel at his shop. The Kwik Kar Lube & Service in Plano is offering customers a discount on oil changes if they recite John 3:16 when they bring their cars in.
Other than the fact that the shop owner obviously can't spell (Kwik Kar?), I think he's doing a great thing. He has taken a stand by showing he's not afraid to share his faith.
Charlie Whittington came up with the deal to give customers an oil change for $19.99 if they will recite a Bible verse. He says it is a way to get people started talking about the things of God. Of course, some customers have complained. When one customer refused to say the verse, his bill went up to $46.
Whittington is standing firm on his faith and says he will continue to offer the deal, despite a few complaints. Good for him!
He believes he has every right to offer the special discount, and, for once, the law agrees. The district attorney has said that as a private business Whittington's Bible-based discount is within the law. But the D.A. added, “The study of the Bible has many rewards. I’m not sure that God intended a lube discount to be among its many riches.”
It's great to see the law on the side of Christians for once. After seeing so many stories where the law tries to limit our rights as believers, this is good news. It should encourage others to step out and take a stand for what they believe in. Of course, some people will always complain and try to shut us up, but we should speak up anyway.
I'm glad to see there are business owners like Whittington who are spreading the light of God in the workplace in a bold way. I only wish there were more like him!
