Bloodline Christian Clothing

Beware of practicing your righteousness before men
to be noticed by them.
—Jesus (Matthew 6:1a)
The Rev. Steve Rice at Father Steve's Blog pointed out Bloodline Christian Clothing offering suits bearing the wounds of Christ. In their own words,

The purpose of the marks are for witness tools. When people ask about the marks, it gives you the perfect opportunity to tell them about Jesus and what He did for us on the Cross (Colossians 2:13-15). This further opens the door to ask if they are saved and possibly leading them to the Lord. Tracts will be provided in the jackets inside pockets for additional assistance. As you can see, Bloodline Christian Clothing is not just about selling suits, but is about winning the Lost for Jesus Christ.

The suits are offered four different ways:

1. The mark on the right side where Jesus was pierced with a spear while on the Cross (John 19:31-35).
2. The nail prints on the wrist where He was nailed to the Cross (John 20:24-27).
3. With both the marks on the side and the wrists.
4. Without any marks.

Despite the goals of Bloodline Christian Clothing, I find the clothing somewhere in the creepy to disgusting range. It also strikes me as the sort of outward piety that Jesus railed against (in Matthew 23:13-33 and elsewhere).

What do y'all think?
