    You better watch out hipster churches, John Hagee is leaving the prophecy murals behind and getting culturally relevant! Well, almost. Desperate Housewives is going off the air. Which is, of course, a point of simultaneous sadness and jubilation in my house. Sadness on the part of my wife who loves it, and jubilation on my part since it will never again be consuming precious space on my beloved DVR. Praise be to God for whom all blessings flow! Read more

    Just in case you couldn’t tell for yourself this is a spoof. There is no Second Baptist Lutheran Church of the Nazarene. (Although, as Nazarenes we appreciate the shout out.) But it is a pretty spot on church commercial parody, and, of course, there in lies the humor. I know that probably seems obvious to most of you, but believe us we when say these things aren’t obvious to everyone. Just peruse the comments on some of our more recent posts... Read more

    Ahh, good ole’ fashioned televangelism, when everything was free (no love offering, just a prayer!), you didn’t need an address to request a copy of the free Bible study (seriously, the address is “Los Angeles 41, California”), and the tv preacher didn’t scream (he’s just monotone, and slightly creepy). And of course, if TBN has taught us anything it’s that no televangelism program is complete without celebrities. Take His Word may not have Kirk Cameron or MC Hammer,... Read more

    Continuing the Halloween theme from earlier today, I thought we would post this quick Halloween warning as a followup to “all things related to Halloween are Satanic.” Frankly, I just don’t get it. Maybe I’ve been brainwashed by Satan and just don’t realize it, but I don’t understand the fear mongering and vitrol spewed out over Halloween. Until I (sadly) became too cool to go trick or treating, I dressed up every year growing up and went out... Read more

    Halloween is only a week away, so we felt it was imperative to get this warning out to everyone. As you may have suspected, Halloween is nothing more than a gateway to the occult. Dress your children up in costumes and they will eventually become Satanists. Don’t believe us? Check out the interview with the former Satan worshiper at the 6:17 mark. He may look cool, calm, and collected now, but there was a time when he was ready to... Read more

    For my money, which isn’t a lot, you don’t get much better than N.T. Wright when it comes to understanding the faith and, in particular, the New Testament. In this video Wright answers what I think is one of the most fundamental challenges facing the modern church or really the church of any for that matter: “How do you read the Bible?” There’s not much I can add to his brilliance, so I won’t try. Just a couple... Read more

      Yesterday, we highlighted the fascinating new documentary Wrestling for Jesus. Today, we are asking everyone to help our new friend Nathan Clarke get his film into the Arclight Cinemas Documentary Film Festival by casting a vote for the film. It only takes a minute and we both know you would rather procrastinate than do actual work. After all, isn’t that why the internet exists?? To vote, simply click “like” on the YouTube trailer here. Or, while you’re stalking somebody on... Read more

    Thanks to the new Personal Jesus app, seriously this is a real thing, you can literally have Jesus your way and at your convience, right at your fingertips for whenever you need an inspiring word for the iLord. They’ve got “Classic Edition” Jesus (read: white Jesus). “Black Edition” Jesus. And coming soon… “Celtic Edition” Jesus…. …and “Asian Edition” Jesus. For reals. We’re not making this up. I don’t have that much time to play with Photoshop. Apparently the... Read more

    First, a word of thanks to Nathan Clarke, the director of Wrestling for Jesus, for sending us a copy to review. This movie was everything I hoped it would be and nothing I expected. As a connoisseur of Christian Americana I expected to watch yet another expose on “a bunch of dumb rednecks” who “just didn’t get it.” But Wrestling for Jesus is so much more than that. Much, much more. The focus of this film is a non-profit wrestling... Read more

    You may have forgotten about ole’ Harold Camping and his apocalyptic predictions, but fear not! We’re here to remind you that the apocalypse is nigh. How nigh? This Friday nigh! (Note: this is the apocalypse, not the rapture. For thoughts on that click here) Sure, Harold Camping may not have gotten it right the first time…..or the second time. But “third time’s the charm” right? So, in support of Mr. Camping we put this little billboard together a... Read more
