If you missed the AFC Championship game last weekend between the Denver Broncos and the New England Patriots, you missed a prophetic battle of apocalyptic proportions in which the Anti-Christ (Peyton Manning) took down God’s prophet (Tom Brady). While some may think those role assignments should be reversed, the biblical math is indisputable. Peyton Manning wears the number 18 which is 6+6+6, the Mark of the Beast. Tom Brady wears the number 12 which is 4+4+4, the number of God.... Read more

As part of my semester at final Yale I’m taking a class called What Are Biblical Values?. It’s taught by the renowned biblical scholar John Collins and though the class has only met once, I’m expecting great things. In our first meeting, he laid down some ground rules, so to speak, for how we are going to approach the concept of biblical values this semester, along with some fantastic insights about the concept itself that I thought were worth sharing.... Read more

So apparently Yeezianity is a thing. With its own website. I’m hoping it’s a joke. Cause their savior is Kanye West. Who are they? Well, according to the their About page… We are an anonymous group who believes that the one who calls himself Yeezus is a divine being who has been sent by God to usher in a New Age of humanity. We believe that the days where mankind must trade his labor for money in order to buy the... Read more

(H/T) For many of us in the church today, using the Bible as the go to, definitive, and final answer for everything is how God intended Bible to be used. Otherwise, God wouldn’t have chopped it up into nice chapters and verses that we could weaponize at the drop of a hat, right? (Fun Fact: The chopping didn’t start until at least a 1,000 years after the New Testament was written.) But what if God had other intentions for the... Read more

(H/T) As he so often does, Mark Driscoll shared something on social media that got some folks (like me) pretty riled up. Shocking, I know. Anyway, here’s a screen grab from Facebook of what he said. For many Christians, this is the gospel summed up in 140 characters or less – Jesus came to make people Christians and if you don’t explicitly become a Christian, then you’re damned to an eternity in hell. Even the slightest hesitation at affirming this... Read more

(H/T) When we read in a passage like Acts 2 that, “All the believers were together and had everything in common. They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need,” or when we hear Jesus say in Mark 10, “One thing you lack. Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, then come, follow me” or in Matthew 25 when he declares in no uncertain terms, “Whatever you didn’t do for the least of these, you... Read more

Technically this is British Jesus, not American Jesus. But keeping in mind that whole Revolution thing, there wouldn’t be an American Jesus without British Jesus. So it works, right? Either way, this feels quintessentially American Jesus, so I’m gonna count it. Anyway…back to the question at hand, “Are Christians actually better in the bedroom than others?” That’s half of the double entendre being used in the London Underground by the British dating website Christian Connections. Posters like the one below... Read more

Big thanks to Peter Philips for sending this my way via Catholic Memes. There’s just so much to love about it. As a bearded man, obviously I love the baby beard…even if it does make for a slightly creepy baby Jesus. But my favorite part? The “everyone allowed” sign on the heavenly tree house.   Read more

Tragedy of all tragedies, I had forgotten all about this guy. Then by chance (or was it the prompting of the Spirit?), I stumbled across one of his videos today (cause I’m a loyal subscriber, I mean how could I not be?!) and now my day is 1000% better and yours will be too after you watch this clip. You’ve heard of CrossFit, Insanity, and P90X, right? Well, they’re all scams. If you really wanna get in shape, you’ve gotta... Read more

(H/T) I’m a history guy. And us history folks sometimes enjoying playing a game of historical “What If?”. As in, what would the world be like if the South had won the Civil War or if the Allies had lost World War II? What would have happened if Kennedy had never been assassinated or if Jimi Hendrix hadn’t died so young? What great things could they have accomplished? Well, I’m also a theology guy and from time to time those... Read more
