Once again, Steve Brown has hit the nail on the head. This offering from Steve Brown Etc., pokes fun at and puts into perspective the crazy “Hell House” game most churches are playing at this time of year. Have a listen and enjoy! Steve Brown Etc. » Blog Archive » The House of Smite.

In Christian circles, we tend to hear a lot about being relevant, doing church differently and being good stewards. We hear about the latter every time our churches enter building campaigns or want to sell their congregations on the Biblical validity of the tithe. I’d like to see the church as a whole actually put [...]

Looking to start a new church or grow your mega-church? Do you feel your sermons aren’t tired enough, cliche’d enough or stale enough? Do you just need a break from sermon-writing? If any of this describes you, then Uncle Luther’s Boilerplate Pop-Christian Sermon template is just what you need to have church like the stars. [...]

My wife was a Southern Baptist when we were dating. We taught Sunday School together in a Southern Baptist Church where I was grudgingly a member, but I  never fully bought into the theology. I’m a little nervous about this one because of the size of this particular denomination. I wouldn’t want to risk alienating [...]

I was raised in a Methodist church. I haven’t forgotten who brung me to the dance, but I also haven’t forgotten the laugh riot that is the UMC. Ready… Get set… You might be a Methodist if… (Go!) The building fund is more important than the tithe. You believe Jesus saves people from their sins— [...]

This blog is the first in a series of satirical lists about different Christian denominations.

Don’t feel unfairly [...]

When they aren’t too cheesy—and even sometimes when they are—I like to watch vignettes from churches. This one, from Central Christian Church in Las Vegas, shows church members’ testimonies of their experiences at other churches where they felt judged when they should have been loved. Take a look: These stories are a far cry from [...]

The Church is not a social club; It is a place for the broken who need healing. The Church is not a corporation; It is the hands and feet of Christ. The Church is not a secret society; It exists to spread the message of redemption The Church is not a building; It is a [...]

I have read through the Sermon on The Mount more times than any other part of the Bible. The teaching and the thinking are so rich and revolutionary, it beckons me when I need a good lesson on thinking more about God’s Kingdom than my own. This particular time, I was using “The Message” translation, [...]
