Is Your Worship Service Sexy Enough?

Last updated on: December 13, 2012 at 8:01 am By Zack Hunt

You probably never thought about whether or not your worship service was sexy enough. That’s because you are a sane, rational person. This group, however, has decided to toss reason to the wind in an effort to give worship that extra level of sexiness they apparently are convinced it has been missing. Meet OMG. “A delightful mix of fun, fashion, faith…” I wish I could tell you this was some sort of hardcore parody. But I’m sad to say... Read more

FROM THE VAULT: The Myth Of Sola Fide

Last updated on: December 12, 2012 at 7:48 am By Zack Hunt

I am currently in the midst of finals week at school. So, today’s post comes from the vault. I wanted to share this post again this week because I had a class this semester in early church theology and the more I study the church fathers, the more I am convinced that the modern evangelical understanding of “salvation by faith alone” is an idea that would have been completely foreign to the early church, particularly those whose greatest statement...

Christmas Lights Tell The Easter Story?

Last updated on: December 11, 2012 at 9:07 am By Zack Hunt

If you look carefully you’ll notice the display is animated. Because nothing stirs the Christmas spirit more than Jesus getting flogged. And by stirring the Christmas spirit, I mean makes small children cry. This is confusing on so many levels. Found at Christian Nightmares Read more

Noah’s Ark Sails Again!!

Last updated on: December 10, 2012 at 12:35 pm By Zack Hunt

Ken Ham must be so proud. Or is he jealous of the competition? Dutchman launches life-sized replica of Noah’s Ark By Toby Sterling, Associated Press DORDRECHT, Netherlands (AP) — Just as the first storms of winter roll in, Dutchman Johan Huibers has finished his 20-year quest to build a full-scale, functioning model of Noah’s Ark — an undertaking of, well, biblical proportions. Huibers, a Christian, used books 6-9 of Genesis as his inspiration, following the instructions God gives Noah... Read more

Festivus Pole Joins Nativity Scene In Florida

Last updated on: December 10, 2012 at 8:49 am By Zack Hunt

Looks like this year it’ll be a Festivus for the rest of us! You remember Festivus, right? If not, you need to go ahead and cash in your vacation days because you’ve got a lot of Seinfeld to catch up on. Anyway, it seems that a disgruntled atheist living in Deerfield Beech, frustrated by years of failing to get the local government t0 remove a nativity scene from public property, decided if you can’t beat ’em, join ’em. It... Read more

Everything Happens For A Reason

Last updated on: December 6, 2012 at 9:44 am By Zack Hunt

I’ve long been annoyed by the saying “everything happens for a reason.” For one, I find it to be rather sappy and, well, I’m not a particularly sappy person. Secondly, I’ve never thought the sentiment was true. Some things just happen. There’s no rhyme or reason to them. They just happen. But the more I think about it, the more I’ve come to realize that I was wrong. Everything does happen for a reason. When you got that new... Read more

Jesus Wants Pastors To Have Private Jets?

Last updated on: December 5, 2012 at 9:31 am By Zack Hunt

So, this is probably the most random thing I’ve ever come across. It’s an op-ed piece from a Nigerian newspaper. Short story short, I googled “pastor” and it was one of the results. Anyway, I realize this is “The American Jesus” and not “The Nigerian Jesus,” but this article is too funny/terrible/amazing not to share. Besides, I can think of few things more “American Jesus” than “Jesus wants pastors to have their own private jets.” Sorry about that, Nigeria.... Read more

Putting The X Back Into Xmas

Last updated on: December 4, 2012 at 9:37 am By Zack Hunt

Well, it’s that time of the year again. No, I’m not talking about the holiday season. I’m talking about the fact that it’s called the holiday season and not the Christmas season. That’s right, I’m talking about the war on Christmas! Funny thing about the supposed war on Christmas. It’s been going on, or at least fears about it, for a lot longer than cable news or the internet might lead you to believe. How long? Well, as I... Read more

“Home Safe” – A Movie About The Importance Of Spanking Children

Last updated on: November 30, 2012 at 12:37 pm By Zack Hunt

Continuing today’s theme of bad Christian movies, here’s a trailer for Home Safe. The plot? I’m not really sure. But based on the trailer the moral of the story here is “spank your children or tigers, snakes, and senile old men will run wild and destroy everything you hold dear.” Read more
