Punk Rock Church

Last updated on: December 22, 2010 at 1:42 pm By Zack Hunt

Are you tired of your boring, old, traditional Baptist church? Are the Pentecostals too establishment for you? Maybe names like Holy Trinity and Grace Community just don’t do it for you? Then, maybe you should check out Scum of the Earth Church Christianity gets the punk-rock treatment at this Denver church By Josiah M.

Tract Tuesday – part 11

Last updated on: December 21, 2010 at 10:59 am By Zack Hunt

Maybe you grew up watching Mickey’s Christmas Carol and you thought that Scrooge turned his life around because he met 3 ghosts on Christmas Eve. Well, that’s because Walt Disney sits on a throne of lies. The truth is that Scrooge turned his life around because he met Jesus. I’m sure Charles Dickens would be proud….. (As always, special thanks to the good people at Chick Publications for all their hard work in putting this tract together) Read more

Maybe your church has $8000 or so laying around and you’d like to put it to good use this Christmas. Ed Young’s church in Grapevine, TX and Net Church in Oklahoma City, OK both found themselves in this particular situation.

Colbert Christmas Wishes

This is a bit of an unorthodox post for American Jesus. Although, I’m not sure what orthodox would be. But I heard Stephen Colbert say this on the Colbert Report last night and thought it was the perfect Christmas reminder for the American Church. It’s too long for Twitter so here it is: Read more

Holy Ghost Hokey Pokey

Last updated on: December 16, 2010 at 11:12 am By Zack Hunt

Is your church missing that extra spark in worship? Well, that’s probably because you’re not doing the “Holy Ghost Hokey Pokey”. In the words of Seth Myers and Amy Poehler: REALLY?!? I’m open to all sorts of different expressions of worship, but are you REALLY telling me that the hokey pokey is a legitimate form of worship? REALLY?!? But we can’t stop there can we? Are you REALLY telling me that the hokey pokey can perform miraculous healings? REALLY?!? The Holy... Read more

Deep Church

We tease, because we truly do love the church, both in America and elsewhere. For those of you like us who either have a passion for seeing the church be... Read more

Instead of giving my own comments before this week’s tract… I thought I would just post a Scripture, and then let you make what you will of the tract below: “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33And he will place the sheep on...
