Why Blame Satan For Suicide?

Last updated on: December 13, 2013 at 12:12 pm By David Hayward

I was saddened yesterday by the news of a young pastor’s suicide. The entire story is very tragic. I was silenced in the face of such terrible news. I can’t imagine what his family and friends are going through. Horrible! I read Jennifer LeClaire’s opinion in Charisma News, “Why Are So Many Pastors Committing Suicide?”. LeClaire honestly shares her own past struggle with depression, so she can genuinely identify with so many who struggle similarly. She is also concerned about... Read more

Jesus as an ugly baby

Last updated on: December 12, 2013 at 9:02 am By David Hayward

*** You can get a fine-art reproduction of this cartoon as well as more of my art in my shop! This cartoon isn’t totally unfounded. Isaiah 53:2, that is considered a prophecy of the coming of the Messiah, says, “When we see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.” Of course what this means is that Jesus and his people would not be an attraction. How’s that working for us? For many people this is a difficult time... Read more

enter the Christmas competition

Last updated on: December 11, 2013 at 8:27 am By David Hayward

Might be a good time to buy your favorite cartoon or Sophia or painting, original or reproductions: SHOP NOW! The Christmas season for represents a time in which I might be able to have time to connect with friends, a time when my children just might make it home, good food, wine, and the exchanging of gifts. But it also means crowds, insane shopping, and the thirty plus days of Christmas music on all the stations and in all the... Read more

how the progressive Christian movement can move forward

Last updated on: December 10, 2013 at 12:42 pm By David Hayward

Acquire a fine art reproduction of this cartoon! I detect the progressive Christian movement is struggling. There used to be a sense of excitement and unity with the emergence of the Emergent movement, but for a variety of reasons I fear it has lost its cohesion and therefore its effectiveness. Many would consider me a progressive Christian– I am on the progressive Christian channel on the Patheos network. But even though I think about this a great deal, I feel... Read more

10 reasons why abusive churches succeed

Last updated on: December 9, 2013 at 10:28 am By David Hayward

(***Visit my online gallery for tons of popular cartoons, Sophias and other artwork!) I immediately want to acknowledge the danger of blaming the victims of abuse. My hope is that I’ve prevented myself from doing so or from even implying it. I’m fascinated by the fact that such ministries as Mark Driscoll’s continue to grow. For a culture that is clearly abusive and swift to bully its members, it surprisingly lives on. Or is it surprising? Here are 10 reasons... Read more

food for thought for Christmas

I have lots of art available for you, including many of my popular cartoons, my Sophia drawings and paintings… originals and reproductions: SHOP NOW I remember Martin Luther saying something about joy being a serious matter. Or perhaps it was C.S. Lewis. Or both. In any case, a man acquainted with grief can laugh. And jolly men can weep. Are you allowed to laugh? Are you allowed to weep? Our online community, The Lasting Supper, continues to grow. Some try... Read more

Joseph and Mary the perpetual virgin

Last updated on: December 7, 2013 at 8:50 am By David Hayward

Cartoons, art and Sophia drawings are available in my gallery! Poor Joseph. Poor Mary. But one must live up to the expectations of others. Heaven forbid we sully our holiness with something as sinful as… sex! In fact, sex is something we talk a lot about at The Lasting Supper. No topic is inappropriate at our table! Read more

He Came in Like a Wrecking Ball

Last updated on: December 4, 2013 at 10:42 am By David Hayward

Want a fine reproduction of this cartoon, “He Came in Like a Wrecking Ball”? Go to my shop! Your cartoon today comes to you served with extra cheese. But this just goes to show you what I’m capable of. I like some of Miley Cyrus’ work and follow her with interest. The story of Jesus is at least about a man who, because he was fiercely free, upset the system. How about you? Meet others who are learning to live... Read more
