#22 The Truth Behind Christmas Traditions

Merry Christmas, readers!  ‘Tis the season to be jolly, and ’tis the season to remind everyone who doesn’t go to church with us how they’ve ruined our holiday through their commercialism and greed!  Ho, ho, ho!  Yes, as we Christians know, Christmas is just a fancy word for “Jesus’ Birthday Party,” and this year, he’s [...]

#20 Harvest Festivals

Well here we are, just a handful of days away from Satan’s favorite holiday, and we’ve yet to discuss the Christian perspective on this damned pagan celebration.  A curious Christian may wonder what their stance should be on this hellish evening, since Jesus never says whether or not he thinks Trick-or-treating is acceptable.  Whatever should [...]

#19 Puppets

James Maury Henson was a genius.
Just go with me on this one.  The man more commonly known as Jim Henson developed a philosophy that Christians today regularly utilize as a teaching tool.  See, Jim Henson had a message, and his message was a simple one.  Jim Henson wanted to teach the world about love, kindness, [...]

#18 America…sort of

I am enjoying a bowl of Americone Dream, the delicious Ben & Jerry’s ice cream flavor inspired by Stephen Colbert. It is at these moments I am particularly proud to be American. Thank you Ben Franklin, Paul Revere, Ben, Jerry, and the Redeem Team. No expert on novelty ice cream, I am nearly certain we [...]

#17 Book Spin-Offs

Walk the “Christian” section of your local Barnes & Noble, and you’re likely to notice an interesting pattern that sporadically repeats itself throughout the alphabetical archives.  Christian authors that effectively inspire the general religious populous are often encouraged by both their publishers and said populous to share their wisdom over and over, again and again, [...]

#16 Video Montages

Given that you are reading this page, let us assume that you have been to church enough times to find common threads throughout Christendom. Let us also assume that you make it to church in time for the morning announcements, which usually go something like this:
“Good Morning, everyone. I have a few brief announcements before [...]

#14 Predicting the Rapture

Popular among the more extreme conservative-leaning Christians is the idea that not only is the rapture a realistic, potential event, but it’s also likely to hit within the next, oh, say… three months or so. For the uninformed, here’s a number of resources and explanations to enhance the Christian’s knowledge on just when Jesus [...]

#12 Picketing

“Excuse me, but I’d like to tell you a little something about what I think, if you would kindly give me the courtesy of your time.”
Irk a Christian, and these are probably the words you are least likely to hear. In all honesty, should you bother an overly opinionated Christian, you’re not likely to [...]

#11 Key Changes

In case you’ve never had the opportunity to sit in on a church interview for a worship leader, here’s about how it goes:
“Can you play songs in the keys of C, G, and occasionally E and A?”
“Can you play songs a half-step or whole step above or below those keys?”
“Can you play chords that sound [...]

#10 WOW

Back in the day, I had two CDs: NOW and WOW. NOW (Thats What I Call Music) started in 1981. It only took 15 years for us to catch on…enter WOW. I no longer needed John and Sherri Rivers, I could sing along from the comfort of my own cd player.
Every year I would be [...]
