So I’ve seen a lot of televangelists hock their magic anointing oil on tv, but never like this. Usually the scam, I mean pitch, is: you send us a chunk of cash and we will send you this vial of olive oil for you to pour over whatever you want blessed. “You say you can’t pay your bills this month? No problem, just send me a love offering of $59.95, I’ll send you this anointing oil, you pour it over... Read more
As promised, here is a video from the wonderful mind of the Mark Driscoll/Glenn Beck spawn Doug Giles. Actually, that’s probably not fair to either one of those guys. Doug is probably a bigger chauvinist and definitely more militant than Driscoll and ironically he’s a lot goofier/weirder then Glenn Beck. In this video we hear from the non-pastor why pastors who are not actively engaged in politics are going to spend eternity in hell. It’s short, but that’s ok because Doug doesn’t... Read more
According to CBN, this Sunday is being declared by over 100 pastors as “Pulpit Freedom Sunday.” If you don’t know what that means, here’s a ridiculously short explanation: Churches don’t have to pay taxes because, in theory, they perform a public service. Because the government does not tax religion, it has no authority in the day-to-day religious operation. Also, it means that religion cannot have a say-so in the day-to-day government operation (i.e. campaigning or endorsing one candidate over another).... Read more

We’ve seen lots of curious ways that churches have attempted to get people back in their pews. We have seen churches give away cars and season tickets, but finally- a church in England has perfected the “enticement evangelism” method. They’re giving away bacon. Lot’s of it. I feel like the church has finally crossed it’s Rubicon with this one. If the unifying power of bacon cannot improve numbers, then we might as well hang it up and close our doors. Read more
Fun story out of Alabama this week. A 16 year old boy decided to go to his local library and make sure they all knew Jesus. Apparently, he followed library patrons around, continuously asking them about their faith and offering “biblical advice.” After several warnings, the library banned him from their building. From the article: Claudya Muller, the director of the Chattahoochee Valley Regional Library System, told the Ledger-Enquirer that the ban “had nothing to do with what he was saying, but... Read more
I get a call every few weeks or so from a group called Teen Mania. I usually just put them on speaker, let them give me their 10 min spill, and I keep working on whatever I need to do. Shocking I know, but youth pastors do actually work. It’s been a while since I had a good reminder about why I will never participate in anything this group does. Then I saw this story over at Jesus Needs New... Read more

If you’re like me, you had a few of those “Choose Your Own Adventure” books when you were young. (Luckily, I didn’t have the one pictured above…).
