It’s Not Global Warming, It’s God’s Judgment

Last updated on: November 1, 2013 at 9:28 am By Zack Hunt

So, here’s televangelist Kenneth Copeland and historical revisionist David Barton talking about how every problem in America is actually God’s judgment. Because obviously it’s ridiculous to think that anything bad that happens to us could simply be the result of our own bad decision making. Anyway, the thing that really bothers me about this “America is the new Israel” theology, other than its complete absurdity, is how utterly self-centered it is. The language is always “we need to stop doing... Read more

Dancing With Jesus

Last updated on: October 30, 2013 at 9:13 am By Zack Hunt

I was on the ole google machine this morning and I stumbled across what is without a doubt one of the most important books ever written in the history of ever. It’s called Dancing with Jesus and it teaches you dance moves inspired by biblical stories including The Water Walk, The Temptation Tango, and The Apostolic Congo! And the best part is it’s available to buy on Amazon today!!! Seriously, this looks amazing and I want a copy sooooo much.... Read more

Christian Haunted Houses Are Evangelism Porn

Last updated on: October 29, 2013 at 9:28 am By Zack Hunt

It’s that time of the year again. Ok, it’s probably been that time for a couple of weeks now, but all across the country churches are doing their best to literally scare the hell out of people. Like this…. I’ve said before and I’ll say it again, I am not a fan of so-called “hell houses” or “Christian haunted houses” or “judgment houses” or whatever you want to call them. I’m just not interested in scaring people into heaven…if that’s... Read more

The Worst Parable Jesus Ever Told

Last updated on: October 28, 2013 at 9:18 am By Zack Hunt

(H/T) At church yesterday, my pastor preached from what sounded like the worst parable Jesus ever told. It’s called the parable of the ten minas and it’s found in Luke 19. Here it is, While they were listening to this, he went on to tell them a parable, because he was near Jerusalem and the people thought that the kingdom of God was going to appear at once. He said: “A man of noble birth went to a distant country to have... Read more

Todd Bentley: It Rains Gold When I Preach….Literally

Last updated on: October 25, 2013 at 10:15 am By Zack Hunt

You remember Todd Bentley, right? He’s the tattooed evangelist who cures cancer by punching people in the chest and kicks old ladies in the face to heal them of whatever ails them. So, obviously you can trust anything he says. Well, it seems he’s moved on from kung fu faith healing for the moment and on to bigger and better and shinier things. Shiny as in gold. According to Bentley, wherever he goes gold follows. I hope the Hoffmans from... Read more

Is “God’s Not Dead” The First Movie Based On A Facebook Meme?

Last updated on: October 24, 2013 at 9:55 am By Zack Hunt

You may have seen this trailer pop up in your Facebook newsfeed recently. It’s for a movie called God’s Not Dead which stars Superman, Hercules, and the Newsboys. Real talk – if Dean Cain and Kevin Sorbo actually played Superman and Hercules in this movie and battled the Newsboys that would be beyond incredible. I would pay to see that move in heartbeat. And if it was in IMAX 3D?!?! Oh my. That would be too amazing for words. Anyway, here’s... Read more

Can We Please Stop With The Jesus Vs. Religion Nonsense?

Last updated on: October 22, 2013 at 8:43 am By Zack Hunt

Dear Christian Internet, It’s been over a year now since that video went viral and got everybody riled up about loving Jesus and hating religion. To my great relief there hasn’t been much talk about it since, at least not that I’ve noticed. So, I thought we had put that craziness behind us and moved on. But apparently I was wrong. Christian Internet, everywhere I turn I see you still at it. You just can’t give it up. You’re hanging... Read more

Pope Francis Calls Out Mark Driscoll And John MacArthur

Last updated on: October 21, 2013 at 9:43 am By Zack Hunt

Ok, so technically Pope Francis didn’t specifically call out Mark Driscoll and John MacArthur by name. But given their recent dustup and given Driscoll’s never ending rants about the roles of men and women and MacArthur’s damning everyone to hell whom he thinks is too energetic in church and given their shared “my way or the highway (to hell)” approach to Christianity over issues that have very little to do with the gospel of Jesus it’s hard not to think of Driscoll...

Taking A Sabbatical From Church

Last updated on: October 18, 2013 at 9:50 am By Zack Hunt

(H/T) If you have been hanging around the internet in recent weeks, then you’ve probably noticed a lot of conversation about millennials leaving the church. Bloggers like Rachel Held Evans and many, many others have weighed in on the subject articulating incredibly well many of the reasons why millennials seem to be leaving the church in droves. However, I’m not sure that after all of the back and forth we ever really discovered a way forward. In other words, while we may have... Read more

The Most Awkward Jesus Painting I’ve Ever Seen

Last updated on: October 16, 2013 at 9:25 am By Zack Hunt

So, I stumbled across a treasure trove of amazing Jesus paintings today. And I thought, I’ve got to share these! So, I started going through them (there were a lot, you may recognize a few) to pick out the best ones to share. There was business Jesus. And creepy watching you sleep Jesus. And excuse me is that my baby Jesus. And never made it out of kindergarten Jesus. (Or Billy Madison Jesus, whichever you prefer.) And lots more. But then... Read more
