Why Proof-Texting Is Not Like Other Sins

Last updated on: April 23, 2015 at 12:44 pm By Zack Hunt

(Credit: Chineka, Flickr Creative Commons) There’s a post you might have seen that has unfortunately been popping up in my Facebook newsfeed the past couple of days. It’s entitled “Why Homosexuality Is Not Like Other Sins” and it’s the typical sort of fare you might expect from a site like Desiring God: bolstered by false equivalencies, society is portrayed as the boogyman out to destroy the faith, conservative evangelicals are cast as the real Christians who must speak up to save the day,...

What Really Hurts The Church’s Witness

Last updated on: April 16, 2015 at 11:25 am By Zack Hunt

(Credit: the rik pics, Flickr Creative Commons) As I write this post, there’s a full blown crisis exploding across my denomination. It’s one of integrity and transparency. Of who we are and we who we are going to be. From the murky (near) closing of our publishing house and a federal investigation into the finances of one of our universities to the demotion of a chaplain for preaching the gospel and the firing of a professor for teaching things his president...

The United Kingdom May Be A Christian Country, But The United States Is Not

Last updated on: April 9, 2015 at 11:46 am By Zack Hunt

I’m guessing you’ve seen it already, but if not, the video above has been making the rounds on Facebook this week. It’s an Easter message from British Prime Minister David Cameron in which he says some great stuff about the many wonderful things Christians in the UK are doing, while also calling for prayer for persecuted Christians around the world. But what has gained the attention of Christians in the United States is this statement by Cameron at the :48... Read more

Why Do The Ghostbusters Hate Jesus?

Last updated on: April 8, 2015 at 9:57 am By Zack Hunt

Why do the Ghostbusters hate Jesus? I know it sounds like the setup for a joke, but sadly it appears it’s all too true. Either that, or the movies lied to us and crossing the streams actually ushers in the Second Coming. On a sad note, this artistic masterpiece is no longer on sale. But on a happy note, astute observers will notice that Winston Zeddemore is absent from this painting. Which I can only assume means he loves Jesus... Read more

Saints Of Darkness: A New Series

Last updated on: April 7, 2015 at 10:34 am By Zack Hunt

(Credit: Mark O’Rourke, Flickr Creative Commons) You may or may not recall a post I wrote a couple of months ago about my January vacation in Nashville. No worries, if you don’t. I’m gonna jog you’re memory either way. While I was in Nashville back in January, I ran around town interviewing a bunch of folks involved in various aspects of social justice work that I found really interesting, creative, and important. As I said before, I got raw honesty... Read more

Why I Believe In The Resurrection

Last updated on: April 5, 2015 at 10:12 am By Zack Hunt

(Credit: Waiting For The Word, Flickr Creative Commons) Christ the Lord is risen today. We all sing it proudly this morning, but it might be the most scandalous claim in human history. I know I talked about the scandal of a crucified God on Monday and those scandals are definitely there, but in the age of science in which we live that tells us definitively that death is the end, is there anything more scandalous, more ridiculous to declare than death...
