Jesus Wasn’t Manly Enough For Mark Driscoll

Last updated on: July 13, 2012 at 9:54 am By Zack Hunt

This week I had the privilege of bearing witness as my father-in-law took his second of three sets of vows in order to become a monk at a Benedictine monastery just outside of Boston. It was an incredible moment that was years in the making. There was a tremendous amount of sacrifice, struggle, contemplation, and devotion that had led him to that decision and it was amazing to be there to watch it all culminate as he... Read more

Was Jesus Really A Muslim?

Last updated on: July 12, 2012 at 9:22 am By Zack Hunt

Sure Islam started some 700 years after Jesus was alive and sure this claim is essentially no different than saying Jesus was, I don’t know, an American, but hey, facts are just inconvenient annoyances that get in the way of real truth! CHRISTIAN PROF SAYS JESUS WAS MUSLIM By Bob Unruh, WND.com A professor at an Iowa college says as a Christian, he has to say that Jesus was a Muslim. Ignoring the historical timeline in which...

Jesus Doesn’t Love You Just The Way You Are

Last updated on: July 11, 2012 at 10:09 am By Zack Hunt

There is a mega-church down the street from my old house in Memphis. The church owns a couple of billboards next to Interstate 40 that they use to promote church activities, services, and share the occasional “inspirational message.” A couple of years ago, the sign read “Jesus loves you just the way you are.” Now, I am well aware that this one liner has become a core tenant of modern, American evangelicalism. It seems like every time “the... Read more

Let the controversy begin… UPDATE – Due to a technical glitch I had to remove the video that featured this story and which contains an important piece of information: The pastor, Michael Salman, has constructed a separate building on his property “complete with a pulpit and chairs for the 30 or 40 people who meet there on a weekly basis.” CHRISTIAN FINED & SENTENCED TO 60 DAYS IN JAIL OVER AZ HOME BIBLE STUDIES By Billy Hallowell, The...

53 Things I Learned About Heaven From Barbara Walters

Last updated on: July 9, 2012 at 10:39 am By Zack Hunt

This weekend 20/20 ran a Barbara Walters special called Heaven: Where is it? How do we get there? If you didn’t see it, you missed a sometimes interesting, sometimes cliche look into what heaven may or may not be liked as seen through the eyes of various spiritual authorities. I was able to watch the show in its entirety and while it wasn’t particularly enlightening for my soul, I did learn a few things about heaven, what Americans... Read more

Woman Beats Pastor Over The Head With The Bible….Literally

Last updated on: July 5, 2012 at 9:11 am By Zack Hunt

Usually when we talk about someone being “beaten over the head with the Bible”, we mean that someone else is holding Bible verses “over their head” in order to condemn them for wrong belief, wrong action, etc. In this case, however, someone’s grandmother took that Bible beating idea a little more literally. Actually, a lot more literally. I’m not sure whether to laugh or cringe. Maybe both? Woman accused of hitting pastor in the head with... Read more
