We Need New Wineskins (Or Why Evangelicalism Needs To Be Abandoned)

Last updated on: March 31, 2014 at 10:13 am By Zack Hunt

Last week was a bad week. Not just for World Vision, but for the church. The zeal with which so many Christians abandoned their sponsored children in the name of theological purity wasn’t just embarrassing. It was repugnant and exposed the hate of so many that for so long has been hidden under the guise of “a difference of opinion.” In the time that has past since that epic fiasco, I’ve found myself returning over and over again to a verse...

GUEST POST: 5 Reasons Christians Love To Get The Book Of Revelation Wrong

Last updated on: March 28, 2014 at 10:47 am By Zack Hunt

Really honored to have my friend Ed Cyzewski guest posting today. He’s talking about one of my favorite subject, the book of Revelation. After you read his post, make sure you pick of a copy of his fantastic new book The Good News of Revelation. Christians in America have ZERO incentive to interpret the book of Revelation correctly.

UPDATE: World Vision Has Reversed Their Hiring Decision

Last updated on: March 26, 2014 at 5:03 pm By Zack Hunt

After immense pressure from the evangelical community, World Vision has reversed their decision to allow the hiring of gay married couples. While this doesn’t change my love for and continued support of World Vision, I’m extremely disappointed in their decision. But I’m more profoundly disappointed and incredibly disturbed by the response of so many in the evangelical community who so willing and quickly abandoned their covenant with children for the sake of theological purity. To say it has been utterly... Read more

Here’s How You Can Take A Prophetic Stand In Response To World Vision

Last updated on: March 26, 2014 at 12:00 pm By Zack Hunt

It’s been almost 2 days since I heard the news that World Vision made an adjustment to their employment policy that will now allow for the hiring of people who are married and gay. 2 days since I watched as righteous indignation poured out across the web in the form of threats (now fulfilled) to pull funding and end child sponsorships over World Vision’s decision. It’s been 2 days and I confess – I’m still angry. I’m angry at those... Read more
