You've Got Questions. He's Got Answers.

Ever wonder why Christians live so much better than anyone else? Look no further than the bottom on their pockets...where you'll no doubt discover a "WWJD?" key chain. When faced with a moment of moral quandary, a simple trinket to remind "What Would Jesus Do?" would suffice. "Well, Jesus would return the wallet." See..."WWJD?"
But the adage could become a beacon in so many of life's difficult moments. I refer to the following:

-You bought an oak dresser from Roomful Express and have begun assembly when you realize that page three is missing from the instruction manual. Ask yourself "WWJD?" Where Would Jesus Drill?

-You are sitting front row at a Houston Rockets basketball game, and Jesus has just been yanked from the bench to replace an injured Yao Ming. The ball is in the Rockets' possession with only ten seconds on the shot clock in a one point game. Ask yourself "WWJD?" When Will Jesus Dunk?

-Jesus is at the local bar, The Stable, and is halfway through another Banana Cocktail when He's told to leave by the bartender because He's causing a fuss. You're short on cash and eying up His floater. Ask yourself "WWJD?" Why Waste Jesus' Daiquiri?

-You're at the nearby Goodwill store and you're shuffling through the pants rack. You stumble upon a pair of jeans with "JC" written on the tag. You're considering the purchase. Ask yourself "WWJD?" Why Wear Jesus' Dungarees?

-You've just bought a house in Jesus' neighborhood and happen to be living next to His oral practitioner. The guy is a jerk though, and won't trim his overhanging hedges that partially obstruct your driveway. He physically threatens you when you suggest trimming them yourself. Ask yourself "WWJD?" Why Wrestle Jesus' Dentist?

-A fellow club patron drags you to the dance floor during a Kanye West song. You hate dancing, and rhythm is lost on you. However, in an attempt to prove smooth, you begin to gesticulate with the beat. Confidence builds when you suddenly realize you need a new move; the running man only can sustain for so long. Ask yourself "WWJD?" When Would Jesus Dip?

-You are skipping down Main Street, a work week behind you. You begin to hum aimlessly, a scrabbled mess of awkward melodies. But you need more structure to skip to. You liked Amazing Grace in Sunday School. Is it a skippable tune? Ask yourself "WWJD?" Why Whistle Jesus' Ditty?
