Jesus is known for having gone to hell, defeating the enemy and taking the keys from the grave.

Consider the grave to be an eternal jail cell for Christ followers.

So, naturally it makes sense that Jesus would endorse a few of his sentinel spirits as bail bondsmen, right?

this is a video to share

In our days of church visitation, membership and revivals, I'm sure we have seen our fair share of traveling evangelists.

You know the type:

Hollywood can put anything into a chic flick… er, a love story.
Consider a “Titanic” tugboat sinking in the middle of a freezing ocean. Do you remember the iceberg or two schmucks getting buck wild in Model A Ford?
What about a woman who is haunted by the “Ghost” of her hubby. Do you automatically think about [...]

Like clockwork, here’s another “God Sighting” but with a NASA-esque twist.
Apparently, the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter was trolling around the planet’s ruddy surface and wouldn’t you know it? No, not Arnold Schwarzenegger filming “Total Recall 2.” It’s not E.T. looking for a cell phone.
It was Jesus, so reports the UK’s Telegraph.
The view shows gullies near the [...]

I love documentaries. Call it a pet hobby of mine, but a well-done documentary is about as satisfying as a "Twilight" marathon for a 12-year old (or some of the 30-ish-year-olds I know).

But this one by Dan Merchant, "Lord, Save Us From Your Followers" should be amazing... you know, if supported by the Church.

I discovered this film - due to hit theaters nationally September 25 - through a blogger on Examiner.com who links to the Wall.

First, a masonry shout-out to Shawn Paul Wood (the aforementioned

In this week’s video evangelism, we have a story just in time for Christmas shopping preparations.
It turns out, not every entertainer in Hollywood has done a Yuletide tune. Let’s add Bob Dylan to the mix!
As first reported on the Web site BullyPulpit.com, at least four songs have already been recorded for the album including, [...]

Ever been to a church that spoke and praised a different language than yours?

I have, and it's amazing, because although the pastor is going bananas on some scripture, you know it's Jesus and you get jazzed hearing it.

Much is the same for this great Prayer Mosaic. Whether the Lord's Prayer is in English, Swedish, Afrikaans, Russian or even slang, it sounds great in any tongue.

Enjoy.

There are many ways to answer that question.

For instance, look at growth of the church body. If you are still bumping into church members at the club, liquor store or the adult shop, both you and the "other dude from bible study" need to reconsider that whole membership thing.

Another is check the childrens ministry. Are the kids happy? Are they engaged? Or, if they are slightly more daring, are they bolting out the back and stealing Dad's car making the getaway!?

Yeah, that happened. Check the video

Okay, okay.
Surely, we jest with the Mormons because of their insatiable need to earn their way into heaven, rocking the holy underwear and belief that God and the Virgin Mary actually hooked up, thus a Savior was born.
I don’t know… call me cynical.
However, the traveling missionaries who don’t know any better are among some of [...]

Ever since Proposition 8, Salt Lake City has become the epicenter for homosexual showdowns.
It’s what you would expect, gay pride parades lampooning floats down Temple Square and others dressing as Joseph Smith in drag. Basically, it’s just annoying and doesn’t help the cause.
Until recently when a gay couple became the inspiration to an organized “kiss-in” [...]

I've often heard that if you look in the Bible long enough, you will find anything you want.
You know, like one of those masogynistic dinosaurs who believe a woman's place is in the kitchen, will somehow find themselves ruminating Paul's words to Timothy:
Let a woman learn in silence with all submission. And I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man. (1 Timothy 2:11-12)
Yeah, that's sweet. Good thing you're not like your cousins and married to some barnyard animal, Grizzly Adams. I h

So, Michael Jackson was buried(ish) on global TV in front of more than 20,000 in attendance at the farewell concert tour… eh, memorial service.
It was a somber time for a genius entertainer (again, were you not entertained despite it all), and the world will never forget him. Well, not until the press forgets him first. [...]
