Does Everything Really Need To Be ‘Bible Approved’?

Last updated on: February 29, 2012 at 9:19 am By Zack Hunt

Have you ever heard of “discernment ministries”? Be thankful if you haven’t and if you haven’t, then my apologies for introducing you to this bizarre phenomenon. I’m sure “discernment ministries” probably existed before the internet, but the world wide web has allowed this phenomenon to explode. Essentially, “discernment ministries” are self-annointed, often anonymous people or groups of people who believe that it is their mission from God to discern for the church who the false teachers are, what is or is not “Biblical”, and...

Want To Serve Others? You’re Gonna Need A Permit For That

Last updated on: February 28, 2012 at 11:30 am By Zack Hunt

Jesus may have told his followers that giving the thirsty something to drink was akin to giving him something to drink, but what he didn’t realize was that in the state of Louisiana you’ll need a permit for that. Seriously….

Rocking Out For Jesus With The Swilley Family Band

Last updated on: February 27, 2012 at 11:00 am By Zack Hunt

Most of the time when we come across some “vintage” Christian music, it’s just a single song. In this case, however, you get an entire mini concert! So, if the first song from The Swilley Family Band doesn’t do it for you, just wait. There’s bound to be at least one song that’s not completely terrible. And don’t forget to stay around for the end of the show for details about how you can pick up their album,... Read more

No No Words

Last updated on: February 27, 2012 at 9:15 am By Zack Hunt

So you really do learn something new everyday. Yesterday, I learned about the practice of not saying the word “alleluia” during Lent. I’ve been in the church my entire life, but this is something I’ve never heard of before. That’s probably due in large part to the fact that I grew up in a tradition that is not historically very liturgical or sacramental. So, something like this wouldn’t “fit” well in most of the churches in my tradition.... Read more

Unity: An Ash Wednesday Reflection

As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over... Read more

Dropkick Me Jesus

Apparently this is one of Bill Clinton’s favorite songs. I would have to assume that it is also Tim Tebow’s favorite song.
