The Gospel of Hate

Last updated on: January 31, 2016 at 7:40 pm By Guest Contributor

Yesterday I was confronted with the gospel of hate. I was watching a TV show about a team of gay male cheerleaders. The show told about their personal stories as well as about the hate that they are regularly confronted with. Time and time again “Christians” would stand around them, telling them that they should be burned, that they are going to hell and that God hates them for what they are. Read more

Starting out in a Theology of Food: Beginning with the Eucharist

Last updated on: January 27, 2016 at 9:39 pm By Guest Contributor

Eating is nothing new. For many of us it has become so rudimentary in the patterns of our days that when we come to the table to feed our hunger, we often think of it merely as a means to an end. Food today has become a commodity, its value seen primarily in its taste, convenience, and price. When we think about it, we mostly view food as fuel to sustain our bodies in order to carry us on throughout the day. Read more

Give me a deeply moving experience over a deeply held belief every time!

Last updated on: January 25, 2016 at 10:42 pm By Chuck Queen

Last year April Kelsey wrote a viral post for this blog which played off the phrase “deeply held religious belief.” I’m sure we all know Christians who seek to justify injustices and prejudices on the basis of their deeply held religious beliefs. I suspect we are all guilty of this to some degree. Read more

Last updated on: October 14, 2016 at 11:17 am By Matthew Distefano

So, how did Jesus read the “Bible?” Well, he cherry-picked it. Gasp! It’s okay though, so did Paul. Double gasp! That’s okay too because there’s a pattern, which I am going to show you now. Read more

Your Feelings and Experiences Matter, Young Christian

Last updated on: January 20, 2016 at 8:48 pm By Guest Contributor

I recently witnessed a Twitter argument about gender inequality in the church. A proud Calvinist fellow informed a young woman she needed to “repent” of the "sin” of putting personal experiences above scripture, because she believed strongly that women shouldn’t be denied opportunities to minister and lead. He was rude and condescending, yet I know many Christians who would agree with his reasoning (if not his attitude). Read more
