Planting seeds for the Kingdom of Heaven has never been so fun and easy. Forget boring tracts. You can be God’s hands and feet and spread the love of Jesus with ducks and smiles. After all, people duck for a lot of reasons – to spread joy, to show appreciation, and to feel like they’re a part of a community. What better reason to duck than to #DuckforJesus?

If you’re around Christians much, you might hear them talk about being “saved.” It’s one of those buzzwords that means a whole lot to some people but might be rather vague to others. After all, if people need to be saved, that implies they are in some sort of danger. That they need someone to rescue them and pull them out of harm’s way. Well, what if I told you that there are only two types of people in this world? There are those who are going to Hell when they die and those who will be saved from it. And Jesus is the only Savior.

As Christians, we have been given the greatest gift of all: the grace of God. While we were still in sin, Jesus saved us and made us part of His family, and we never have to be alone again. But now that we’re saved, it’s up to us to tell others about the good news that Jesus can do the same for them. “Evangelism” is kind of a scary word, but “ducking for Jesus” is a fun, easy way to spread the love of Jesus with a smile. Here is a step by step list of how you, too, can duck for Jesus.

Whether it’s Jeeps, cruise ships, or elsewhere, happy little rubber ducks have hit the scene! They bring a bright spot of cheer and plenty of smiles wherever one might find them. While separated by countries and involving two completely different modes of transportation, both jeep ducking and cruise ship ducking all started for the same reason: a random act of kindness. The history of ducking is almost as much fun as ducking itself.

As summer nears an end and cooler weather prevails, there will be lots of great Jeep meet and greets. And what Christian Jeep get-together is complete without a Jeep blessing prayer? It’s a way to bring people together and ask the Lord for His hand of protection on the Jeeps and all who ride inside them.

A while back, I had an issue with my Jeep. I took it to the shop where local Jeepers get work done, but the mechanics there told me that my issue was throwing some weird codes to their equipment. It was something that would have to be taken to the dealer. Lately, I, myself, have been feeling a lot like a broken Jeep up on the blocks.

America is, or at least at one time was, arguably one of the “freest” nations on earth. Through the Declaration of Independence, the country acknowledged the right of every citizen to have life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, all granted to us by our Creator. But America was birthed in rebellion. It told England, “You don’t get to control us anymore. We want to be our own boss and make our own rules.” So, when the average person thinks of freedom, we often think of people’s ability to do what they want on their own terms. But that sounds more like the motto for satanism (“Do what thou wilt”) than Christianity. Why does the Bible talk about freedom in Christ when there seem to be so many more restrictions for Christians compared to the rest of the world?

When I was a kid in the 1970’s there was a carnival game we called “Pick a Duck.” It was my favorite game, so anytime my family and I would head to the midway at the fair, I would look for it. The game was simple. Plastic ducks floated in circles in a tub. You paid your tickets and picked a duck. The little number on the bottom determined if you won a big prize or a little prize, but every duck won something. I don’t remember every taking home anything big, but I do remember the euphoric feeling of promise right before I picked. I was about to be a winner. This impression was so strong with me the other night that I just knew there was a message in it. I decided to pray.

Who doesn’t love finding treasure? An unexpected “win” can really brighten your day, and when it’s tied to tradition and community, so much the better. That’s the idea behind Jeep “Easter eggs.” They are hidden designs found only on Jeeps, and hunting for them is half the fun.

In America, people are well familiar with St. Patrick’s Day for all the Shamrock Shakes, green beer, and leprechauns, but how many know about St. Patrick’s Breastplate? It’s a Christian hymn attributed to St. Patrick’s ministry that is as relevant now it was when it was thought to be written, about the 4th or 5th century. See, the words are a powerful prayer of protection for a long journey. So whether you’re traveling by a ship or a Jeep, these words can be a great inspiration for a modern day prayer of your own.

With Valentine’s Day soon approaching, love is in the air. People send flowers, give chocolates, and exchange gifts with those they care about. But love in the English language is just that: love. We use the same word to say how we feel about pizza and hot wings as we do to tell the Lord God of Heaven how we feel about Him. But not all languages are so general. In fact, in 1960 Christian author CS Lewis did a deep study of ancient Greek for a set of radio talks he did. From that series, he wrote the book The Four Loves. In it, he explored the idea that human beings can feel different kinds of love depending on relationships and situations.
