10 Reasons Christians Shouldn’t Believe In Creationism

Last updated on: September 6, 2013 at 9:41 am By Zack Hunt

#1 – Believing In Creationism Means Believing God Is Liar According to the book of Psalms, nature reveals God’s glory and God’s handiwork. In other words, we can look at nature and discern how God created. Science has done this and discovered that nature reveals a God who created through evolution. So, if nature reveals evolutionary mechanisms at work, but God really created everything in six literal days, but chose to deceive the very people God endowed with scientific wisdom... Read more

Pastor Steven Anderson: The Bible Says “Cover Your Crack!!”

Last updated on: September 5, 2013 at 12:44 pm By Zack Hunt

Stephen Anderson says many, many, many things I don’t agree with. But I think we’ve finally found something we do agree on. Cover your crack, folks. Cover your crack. Read more

A Duck Dynasty Sermon

Last updated on: September 5, 2013 at 9:31 am By Zack Hunt

Don’t worry Duck Dynasty fans. I’m not making fun of the show. Honestly, I haven’t watched it enough to have an opinion one way or another. But, I do have it on good authority that these guys are really great people in real life. I share their sermons here because I thought you Duck Dynasty fans would find it as fascinating as I do. Apparently their home church, White’s Ferry Road Church of Christ, has an annual Duck Commander Sunday... Read more

Pastor Tells Church “Only White People” Can Be Greeters

Last updated on: September 3, 2013 at 10:15 am By Zack Hunt

This is one of the strangest racism in the church stories I’ve ever encountered. When I first saw the headline, I assumed it was some small “traditional” country church that was predominantly white and wanted to keep things the way the were. After all, we’ve seen that sort of thing before. But this situation is almost the exact opposite. It’s a suburban contemporary church that, according to the former church member interviewed below, has a racially diverse congregation. But the... Read more

An Open Letter To Rachel Held Evans

Last updated on: August 30, 2013 at 10:14 am By Zack Hunt

Dear Rachel, The internet wouldn’t be the crazy pool of insanity that it is today without the never ending stream of open letters that pollute the online environment. I’ve avoided dipping my toes into those murky water, but today I feel I must dive into the deep end with an open letter of my own. I just want to say thank you for the opportunity to write a guest post on your blog about the attempt to justify the suppression... Read more

Do You Have A Faith Worth Losing?

Last updated on: August 29, 2013 at 9:39 am By Zack Hunt

(Original Image Found Here) This semester at school I’m taking Systematic Theology with Miroslav Volf and Linn Tonstand. To say I’m excited about the class would be an understatement. In fact, I may or may not have had a minor theology nerd meltdown yesterday when Volf shared a joke his professor, Jürgen Moltmann, used to make about Karl Barth and his Church Dogmatics – “The truth cannot be that long.” If you’re a theology nerd like me, you’ll understand...

A Church Service The American Jesus Would Love

Last updated on: August 27, 2013 at 8:22 am By Zack Hunt

Yesterday, Greg Boyd shared the link to the video below. It’s a clip from a “Patriotic Sunday” service that was held a couple of years ago at a church in Florida. While patriotism in American churches is nothing new, this church takes things to a whole new level. I could rant on and on about covering up the cross with a giant American flag as the church sings “The Red, White, and Blue, it waves forever,” but that’s just one... Read more

Body Gospel Workout

Last updated on: August 26, 2013 at 11:11 am By Zack Hunt

When I first saw this clip I thought, “Eh, pretty cheesy but whatever.” If you want workout to praise and worship music, it’s a free country, go nuts. I mean, who am I to judge? Lifting the remote to change the channel is pretty much the extent of my daily workout regime. But then I got to the 2:26 mark and, well, I don’t want to ruin it for you, so let’s just say it involves choir robes. Lots and... Read more

Speaking The Truth In Love, Ricky Bobby Style

Last updated on: August 23, 2013 at 9:07 am By Zack Hunt

I’m a firm believer in the theory that Will Ferrell movies get funnier the more you watch them. Take, for instance, Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby . When it first came out I had no interest in seeing it. In fact, I’m pretty sure I didn’t watch it until it started running on TNT and I was too lazy to change the channel. When I finally did see it, I said to myself, “Self, this isn’t as bad as I... Read more

What If Jesus Had A Gag Reflex?

Last updated on: August 22, 2013 at 9:25 am By Zack Hunt

(H/T) With the theological sophistication of an 8 year old child who refuses to eat their broccoli, Thabiti Anyabwile of The Gospel Coalition has attempted to single handily eliminate any and all compassion and grace from the church by arguing that Christians need to rediscover their gag reflex when it comes to homosexuality. According to Mr. Anyabwile, homosexuality is wrong not just because a couple of Bible verses say so, but because it’s yucky and gross. Since we’re already... Read more
