Pulling A Fast One Over On Jesus

Last updated on: April 17, 2012 at 11:13 am By Zack Hunt

When I arrived at church last week for Easter Sunday the parking lot was, as expected, jam packed with cars. Like the parking lot, the sanctuary was stuffed full of people for both services. We had almost twice as many people in attendance as we would for a “regular” Sunday. When I arrived at church this past Sunday the scene was noticeably different. The parking lot was not nearly as full. When it came time for service to start the sanctuary was... Read more

Review: ‘The Devil Wears Nada’ By Tripp York

Last updated on: April 16, 2012 at 10:26 am By Zack Hunt

I love me some hyperbole. Seriously, it’s like the greatest thing ever in the history of mankind times infinity. However, there is no hyperbole intended when I say that Tripp York’s new book, The Devil Wears Nada: Satan Exposed!, is the most entertaining, yet thought provoking book I’ve read in a long time. There’s a reason most people don’t make a B line for the theology section when they visit their local Barnes & Noble. Granted, there is often a... Read more

‘Crock-O-Duck’ Disproves Evolution?

Last updated on: April 13, 2012 at 2:47 pm By Zack Hunt

First, it was the banana that Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron claimed disproved evolution. Then, they learned how fruit is cultivated and gave up that endeavor. Well, if your first ridiculous claim is proven false, what are you supposed to do next? Admit that you are in fact not experts in evolutionary biology. Come up with an even more ridiculous claim! According to the crowned princes of street evangelism, their imaginary “Crock-O-Duck” is just as ridiculous as the notion... Read more

The Times They Are A-Changin’

Last updated on: April 13, 2012 at 9:55 am By Zack Hunt

Well, it’s official. We’ve closed on our new place and for at least the next four years my wife and I will be living in Connecticut. It’s sort of surreal. I never thought I would live in the northeast. My wife is from New England, but I’m a southern boy who’s spent his entire life in Tennessee. I’m really happy that my wife will have an excellent residency program at UConn and I’m incredibly excited to have... Read more

Scariest Church Promo Ever?

Last updated on: April 12, 2012 at 10:46 am By Zack Hunt

These days churches everywhere are making videos to promote their events. It’s a great tool to have and one which is all but essential in the digital age. Now, not all of these promo videos are created equally. Some of them are highly polished and really professional. Others were done on the fly with whatever video camera happened to be laying around. Regardless of quality, most promos inviting people to a church event tend to be warm and... Read more

Jesus Has Lost His Shadow

Last updated on: April 11, 2012 at 10:14 am By Zack Hunt

USA Today ran this story a few days ago about a shadow in a church in New Orleans that some are claiming resembles the face of Jesus. Apparently, like Peter Pan, Jesus has lost his shadow. Now, we obviously see this sort of thing all the time. Despite the fact that none of us know what Jesus’ face actually looked like, we have the propensity of seeing him in everything from a grilled cheese sandwich, to tree bark,... Read more

The Constitution Quotes The Bible ‘Verbatim’?

Last updated on: April 10, 2012 at 2:30 pm By Zack Hunt

Meet David Barton. He’s part of an organization called “Wall Builders” which seeks to “rebuild our nation’s [Christian] foundations.” In this clip, which comes to us from James Robinson’s Life TV, Mr. Barton tries to explain to us the Biblical roots of the United States Constitution. In his words, several sections of the Constitution are lifted “verbatim” from the Bible. For the sake of clarification I’ve decided to give you the actual text of those passages that he... Read more

Your Church Needs A Worship Band? There’s An App For That!

Last updated on: April 10, 2012 at 10:25 am By Zack Hunt

So, I’m kind of torn on this one. Is this app an ingenious solution for churches that want to start a contemporary service, but just don’t have the musicians? Or does it demonstrate how confused we are in the church about the difference between performance and worship? Or maybe there’s a third option out there. What do you think? Is this an app you would use at your church if you didn’t have enough musicians? Or would you just make... Read more

Pat Robertson: ‘Man Up’ With Your Tithing

Last updated on: April 9, 2012 at 2:37 pm By Zack Hunt

Taking a page out the Mark Driscoll manliness handbook, Pat Robertson reminds us that men are the “high priests of the family” and as such they need ‘man up’, put their nagging wives in line, and start paying their tithe! Does this mean single women don’t need to worry about tithing?? Somebody needs to write in to The 700 Club and ask Pat!! Read more

Church Holds Easter Service In Mosque

Last updated on: April 9, 2012 at 8:24 am By Zack Hunt

A couple of years ago a United Methodist church here in Memphis created an uproar when it allowed an Islamic congregation to use their space for worship while the new Islamic center was being built. Some saw it as a sign of sanity in the midst of the Terry Jones Quran burning madness, but many more were upset that a church would allow allow people of a different faith to worship in their sacred space. This year the... Read more
