Why Are Christians So Bad At Handling Criticism?

Last updated on: August 6, 2013 at 11:38 am By Zack Hunt

(H/T) I’ve had the opportunity to meet a lot of different types of people in my life from all sorts of backgrounds and with all kinds of outlooks on life. And I’ve had the chance to get into disagreements with lots of different types of people from all sorts of backgrounds with all kinds of outlooks on life. But I’m not sure anyone I’ve encountered anyone who is quite so bad at handling criticism as Christians are. Myself included. Particularly... Read more

The Wrath Of God Was Satisfied?

Last updated on: August 5, 2013 at 9:27 am By Zack Hunt

(Picture found here) Last week Christianity Today reported on the Presbyterian Church, U.S.A.’s decision to exclude the modern hymn In Christ Alone from their hymnal. The decision came down to one line – “Till on that cross as Jesus died/the wrath of God was satisfied.” The PCUSA had hoped to change the line to read – “Till on that cross as Jesus died/the love of God was magnified.” – in keeping with their understanding of what occurred on the cross, or to...

Blogmatics: The Cost Of Discipleship

Last updated on: August 2, 2013 at 9:24 am By Zack Hunt

(Photo courtesy of Photonopticum) This is the twelfth part of a series I’m calling Blogmatics. It’s an attempt on my part to lay out as best I can in as brief a manner as I can all the theological assumptions behind my blog posts. As is true for so many others, Dietrich Bonhoeffer has had a profound influence on my understanding of the Christian faith. However, it was not his attempt to take the life of Hitler that I find...

What Happens When “False Teachers” Love Jesus Too?

Last updated on: July 31, 2013 at 9:48 am By Zack Hunt

Last semester I had the opportunity to take a class in the theology of the early church. I loved finally having the chance to read through and discuss what the early church fathers actually said, rather than what other people centuries later said they said. One thing that really stood out to me was the teachings of those early Christians who were declared “anathema,” or heretics. Today, a name like Arius has become synonymous with heresy, false teaching, and the... Read more

Christian Nightmares: A Glimpse Behind The Mask

Last updated on: July 29, 2013 at 1:28 pm By Zack Hunt

My friend over at Christian Nightmares shared this heartbreaking story with my today from his new blog Christian Nightmares Too. His new project, Christian Nightmares Too, is a collection of stories and interviews with people who have been hurt by the church. For those of us still in the church, I think his work should be a powerful reminder to all of us of the pain we can and do inflict when we fail to be the people of God... Read more

Worst Jesus Shirt Ever?

Last updated on: July 29, 2013 at 8:12 am By Zack Hunt

I’ve seen some pretty terrible Jesus paraphernalia in my day. Jesusphernalia? Sounds like a disease. Which is actually pretty accurate. Anyway, this shirt that my friend over at Christian Nightmares found is one of the worst I’ve ever seen. If the American Jesus had a favorite sweatshirt he liked to lounge around his holy McMansion in, surely this would be it. Read more

This is the eleventh part of a series I’m calling Blogmatics. It’s an attempt on my part to lay out as best I can in as brief a manner as I can all the theological assumptions behind my blog posts.

If You Were Born Without Arms Would You Curse God?

Last updated on: July 25, 2013 at 8:40 am By Zack Hunt

A while back I highlighted a film called Wrestling For Jesus by Nathan Clarke. If you haven’t seen it, you must. It’s fantastic. Seriously, go buy it right now and watch it. You’ll be glad you did. Anyway, Nathan’s latest short film, co-directed with John Harrison, is called A Day With Greg Buell. It’s a short (only about 5 minutes long), but fascinating look into the life of a man born without arms and how he reconciles his Christian faith... Read more
