From time to time I like to highlight awesome and awful Jesus tattoos that I come across. Usually, it’s one or the other….but mostly just the latter. Today, I bring you both. One with admittedly great artwork, though, in an interesting location. Another that’s a little of both. And one more that’s, well, I don’t want to spoil the surprise. First up, the good stuff. Yes, the top of one’s head is an interesting location for a Jesus tattoo, if... Read more

Christian Nightmares recently shared this rare clip of infamous cult leader Jim Jones preaching and performing “miracles” at his church, the People’s Temple, in Los Angeles. Personally, I find this fascinating (and a bit terrifying). This is, after all, the guy who quite literally and tragically got his followers (or possibly forced them) to “drink the kool-aid.” What I find so interesting in this clip is how disturbingly familiar it all is. Maybe it’s just me, but I think we... Read more

(H/T) Now that I’m done with school, I’ve found myself flipping through Netflix, Hulu, and every other option I can find on Apple TV to catch up on shows I’ve missed. The other day I came across a PBS special called Prison State. It’s a Frontline feature on what is, by most accounts, the deeply flawed American penal system. As I listened to the countless stories of men and women languishing in prison for what in many cases was far... Read more

The Christian faith can be a challenging and complex thing to understand. Doctrines like the Trinity and the incarnation can be incredibly difficult to comprehend, let alone articulate to potential new believers. But fear not. I am here to offer you the simple, straightforward answers to some of the most vexing questions of faith I know you have. Like, does Jesus own a computer? Of course he does. But as you’ll notice, in typical Jesus fashion, it’s a humble computer.... Read more

(H/T) If you’ve followed my blog for very long, then you know there are few things that Mark Driscoll and I agree about. I have unapologetically taken him to task for both the absurd and egregious things he all too often says and does. But since we both confess Jesus as Lord, I think it’s only fair that I call attention to the moments when we do agree. They may be few and far between, but it seems one of those... Read more

  Dear John, Ok, first off I know, “Dear John” letters are usually written between former lovers and we were never even friends. But, John, I tried. I really, really did. I’ve heard for so long that my frustrations with Calvinism were really due to your Neo-Calvinist followers giving you a bad name. That made sense to me. After all, I couldn’t believe that some of the rephrensible and callous things being said and taught today would be derived directly... Read more

In an ongoing effort to keep you abreast of all the important and entertaining Jesus news, here’s everything you need to know/see/experience as we start a new week. First up, and prepare yourself because this might come as a shock if you didn’t know about his awesome Jesus tattoos, Justin Bieber is apparently a big fan of Jesus. (H/T Christian Nightmares)   Speaking of things you may not be aware of, did you know that Godzilla is the antichrist? It’s... Read more

You’ve probably heard it said, “There’s no “I” in team.” But did you know there’s no “Jesus Saves” without “USA”? Yeah, me either. But thanks to a heads up from one of my readers, I’m sad to report that this is indeed the case. In fact, it seems it’s something of a cottage industry. You’ve got your JesUSAaves t-shirt. Which is also available in a tank top. Or if a hoodie is more your thing, they’ve got that too. Maybe... Read more
