She has far too much time on her hands… Thoughts? Justin sent this picture to me. UPDATE: This picture is fake. My apologies for misleading you. I actually fact checked it before I posted it and didn’t find any “fake” alerts. But have since learned that it is indeed fake.

This might be the best ‘pastoral job listing’ ever!

Are you a pastor without a church, you know, a spiritual shepherd without a flock? Well, you’re in luck, because a six-member congregation in Coal Township, Pennsylvania is looking for a new bible thumper, a real biblical hard ass, who will lead their congregation. But before you apply, please make sure you read all of [...]

Kidnapped For Christ: A Documentary

Matthew — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 17:30:50 +0000

I don’t even know what to say right now (or how to say it in the right way), so I’ll just post the information. According to the documentary’s online about page… Kidnapped for Christ is a feature-length documentary film, which follows the stories of several American teenagers who were sent to an Evangelical Christian reform [...]

Some thoughts on Bobbed Hair, Bossy Wives, and Women Preachers

Stephen — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 16:01:52 +0000

Stephen Lamb :: I admit it: I’m tired. Tired of the perennial discussions about the things women aren’t allowed to do, or what a “real man” or “real woman” looks like, discussions that often invoke the descriptor “Biblical” as a way of trying to sanctify the speaker’s opinion. Listening to claims from John Piper’s Desiring [...]

The best advice on writing that I’ve ever followed…

I found this Elmore Leonard graphic and video over at Dangerous Minds. If you’re not familiar with Elmore Leonard, he’s a celebrated fiction author (and in fact, he’s author of the books that inspired the TV show, Justified). I read his book on “writing advice” several years ago: Elmore Leonard’s 10 Rules of Writing It’s [...]

A BLOG POST: In Defense of a Christian Woman’s Identity…

My wife, Jessica, reads a lot of books on parenting. She reads books on topics that range from “eating habits” to “temper tantrums,” some of these books are written from a Christian perspective and some are not. Jessica is an information junkie, she likes to be informed on ideas from “professionals,” hear or read other [...]

HELP: I need an interpreter for THIS…

Matthew — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 19:23:18 +0000

I have no idea what’s happening in this video clip. I think the crazy white guy–the one who uses the word “foreskin” in the most awkward uncomfortable way possible–is pretending to be a prophet–like the prophet Nathan–and dubbing Pastor Eddie Long “King” of something. But King of what I do not know. Perhaps I need [...]
