What If Paul Wrote A Church Planting Book? (And Other Questions About The Bible And Culture) – By Ed Cyzewski

Last updated on: August 18, 2014 at 8:33 am By Zack Hunt

Today’s guest post comes from my friend Ed Cyzewski. Do yourself a favor and pick up a copy of his brand new book A Christian Survival Guide which is free today on Amazon. Some days I sit around imagining what it would be like if the writers of the Bible had the resources (and culture) of today’s Christian publishing industry at their disposal. What if they started publishing books that essentially turned their letters into “how-to” guides for church practice... Read more

Being Sick Sucks

Last updated on: August 15, 2014 at 11:17 am By Zack Hunt

Being sick sucks. I’ve been fortunate enough to not be sick with anything more than a cold in a long time, but that changed pretty quickly last week. A couple of weeks ago – and completely out of nowhere – I had some really, really terrible abdominal pain. I woke up one morning, ate breakfast, and then all of a sudden it felt like someone reached into my gut and squeezed my insides as hard as they could. It was... Read more

The Cost Of Repentance

Last updated on: August 6, 2014 at 11:55 am By Zack Hunt

(H/T) Have you ever seen The Mission? If you haven’t, you really should. It’s a fantastic film starring two of the greatest actors of their generation – Robert De Niro and Jeremy Irons – as a priest and conquistador trying to navigate the turbulent waters of the New World. In one of the most iconic scenes of the film, De Niro – the conquistador – is following Irons and his fellow priests through the jungle while lugging his obscenely heavy... Read more

Church Presses Charges Against Homeless Cookie Thief

Last updated on: August 4, 2014 at 10:19 am By Zack Hunt

(H/T) When I was a kid, a favorite pastime of my friends and mine was to skip the Sunday morning service and raid the church kitchen while we hid out from our parents. Usually there wasn’t much to be had, but if it was the day after a baby shower or even better – an ice cream social – we could hit the jackpot. And by “jackpot” I mean a handful of those awesome buttercream mints and maybe a cookie... Read more

Is This The Worst Novelty Bible Ever? (Yes, Yes It Is)

Last updated on: July 31, 2014 at 9:58 am By Zack Hunt

I’m terrible at responding to emails. It doesn’t matter who you are or how far we go back, chances are good it’s going to take me forever to get back to you. I know that’s terrible of me, but please know it’s not personal. I just have this weird habit of responding to an email in my head, getting distracted by something else, and then I forget to actually respond to the email in real life. I’m even worse when...

For Only $5 You Can Learn The Exact Date Of Jesus’ Return!!!

Last updated on: July 30, 2014 at 9:33 am By Zack Hunt

Predicting the exact date of Jesus’ return is tough stuff. Just ask Harold Camping. Some might even say it’s impossible. (Jesus. He was the one that said that.) But that’s not stopping Mark Blitz from trying his darndest to be a prognosticator of the parousia….while making a little scratch on the side for his efforts. Normally, his prophetic DVD, The Feasts of the Lord, would run you $39.95, a more than fair price to pay to learn the exact date... Read more

Pastor Steven Anderson: Jews Don’t Believe In The Torah

Last updated on: July 29, 2014 at 9:55 am By Zack Hunt

Pastor Steven Anderson has a long and well established reputation for bringing the crazy in the desert. This Phoenix area pastor has taken bold biblical stands against men sitting down to pee, National Geographic Magazine, Christian music, and women in general. Ridiculousness is essentially his spiritual gift. But, apparently, Pastor Anderson’s fundamentalism has taken a strange and, frankly, disturbing new turn. In his latest sermon, entitled The Jews and Their Lies (and perhaps inspired by Martin Luther?), Anderson exposes what... Read more

Pastor: Homosexuals Are Possessed By Putrid-Smelling Demons

Last updated on: July 24, 2014 at 10:24 am By Zack Hunt

In the seemingly never ending battle over homosexuality in the church, a common chorus I often here repeated from those opposed to marriage equality is that their opposition, no matter how intense, is in fact an act of love. Unfortunately, that “love” often looks a whole lot like hate. For example, I’m not sure how telling gay folks that they are demon possessed and so foul smelling that even pigs don’t want to be around them is in any way... Read more

The Trailer For Black Jesus

Last updated on: July 23, 2014 at 10:42 am By Zack Hunt

Christian Nightmares called my attention to the release of the new Adult Swim show Black Jesus. While I’m sure it won’t get a warm welcome from the majority of the Christian community, I have to admit that from what I see in the trailer, some of it looks pretty darn funny. It looks like it does a great job of poking fun at our expectations of who Jesus is and what we expect him to do for us. Then again,... Read more
