What would Jesus do?

who coined this phrase?

I’m not certain but I remember reading somewhere that a 19th century preacher, Charles Sheldon, is the person generally credited with coining the phrase.

Who do you think it was?

I don’t hear the acronym used as frequently now as it was in the past.

What about W.W.J.S. (What Would Jesus Say)? Have you heard of that one?

Do you remember the WWJD bracelets that were popular at one time? Maybe they still are but I haven’t seen anyone wearing one for quite a while.

That’s interesting. Which of his writings is it found in?

The first I can remember hearing it was on another Christian forum by a lady from Norway.
