Is there anything more terrifying than a shark? Yes! A land shark that can run! I think this is a great t-shirt idea that I will make available soon. Read more

the first crucifix ever made

Last updated on: July 27, 2013 at 7:41 am By David Hayward

Not only can you have Jesus wrapped around your finger, you can have him wrapped around your neck too! The first Christian jewelry was actually the fish, created around 50 A.D. The cross became jewelry in the fourth century. That was over 1600 years ago. We’ve come a long way, baby! Read more

Jesus is for the birds

Last updated on: July 26, 2013 at 8:30 am By David Hayward

Have you ever tried to feed pigeons? It’s messy and always ends in disaster. It can be the same with people. I think Jesus knew this from his childhood experience pictured here. That’s why he had his disciples organize the people in small groups… so he wouldn’t get swarmed. Read more

Why I Wouldn’t Attend Pastor Steepek’s Church

Last updated on: July 25, 2013 at 4:45 pm By David Hayward

Why I Would Not Attend Pastor Jeremiah Steepek’s Church I saw this story circulating around Facebook of Pastor Jeremiah Steepek who transformed himself into a homeless person and attended the church he had just been hired by on the first Sunday. He was passed by, overlooked, and asked to sit in the back pew. Instead of getting some needed spare change he got dirty looks. After the new pastor was introduced by the elders, Pastor Steepek, the homeless person, walked... Read more

some fun biblical Christian face in hole ideas

Last updated on: July 25, 2013 at 7:27 am By David Hayward

Oh the insane things that pop into my head in the middle of the night and make me get up from my warm bed and leave my wife to scrawl in pencil on a blank sheet of paper in the pitch blackness the silliest images that seem to perplex and plague me just so I can hopefully bring a smile to your face and maybe occasionally make us think a little bit world without end. Amen. The Lasting Supper Read more

don’t get Jesus angry

Last updated on: July 24, 2013 at 8:17 am By David Hayward

*** TRIGGER WARNING: swear words… Someone is bound to say, “But the things Jesus called the religious back then had theological significance!” Yes they did. “Brood of vipers” meant that if you, for any reason, fell into their nest, they will eventually poison you to death with their religion. “Den of thieves” meant that they are going to take your money in deceptive ways. “Children of the devil” meant that even though they might think they are sincere, they in...

oh my God there’s a friendly atheist!

Last updated on: July 23, 2013 at 5:47 pm By David Hayward

I’m in love with an atheist, Hemant Mehta, the The Friendly Atheist. In my philosophical construct, he and I are no different, but are essentially connected and united. So we might as well seal the deal. I know this comes as a shock to many of you because this last April Fool’s Day me and Rob Bell were married. But I just can’t help myself. He wrote a post today about “It’s Perfectly Acceptable To Mock Church Culture” in which... Read more

the church versus Jesus

Last updated on: July 22, 2013 at 6:24 am By David Hayward

I remember in 1982 when I watched the film Gandhi and he said, as he did in real life, “I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians.” It had a powerful impact on my seminary mind. We all know we resist real, substantial change. We don’t mind adjustments so much. Renovations. But deconstruction and reconstruction… what the bible calls death and resurrection… well, we avoid that by all means. Most of us use Jesus as a consultant rather... Read more

the surprising second coming of the Christ

Last updated on: July 21, 2013 at 8:31 am By David Hayward

The German theologian Karl Barth believed that the second coming was a parousia… a revelation of what already is but that we are blind to. He believed that it will be like the pulling back of the veil to reveal what already is true. What I take Barth to mean is that the second coming is a metaphor for humanity to finally see the connectivity in all things, the unity of all things, the All in the all. Our unity... Read more
