Jesus Is A Packers Fan

Zack —  February 2, 2011 — 1 Comment

At least that’s according to a Catholic primary school in Franklin, WI…

Young Packer fans decorate school … and Jesus

By Erin Richards of the Journal Sentinel

We’ve got a story coming soon about schools doing Packers- and football-related projects in the lead-up to the Super Bowl, but I couldn’t help posting a few photos today of the green and gold pride evident at St. Martin of Tours Parish School in Franklin.

I visited the school today, at 7933 S. 116th St., as part of their Catholic Schools Week celebration.

Students in the primary grades had covered the front hallway with all sorts of Packers pictures and yellow and green paper chains. Meanwhile, the school’s eighth graders had gone all out on their classroom by hanging players’ numbers from the ceiling and putting Packers “jerseys” on pictures of Jesus and Mary.

Personally I really like the use of duct tape. I don’t know if fits within the NFL’s uniform guidelines, but its a good call in case Troy Polamalu stops by the school and tries to sack Jesus. That way you know our Lord’s jersey isn’t coming off if He goes down.

Teens: Obama and Jesus Equal

Obama and Jesus Equal

By Jennifer LeClaire

Whether you have a teenager in your home or just see them in the malls, it’s clear that the likes and dislikes of this age group are making an impact on America’s cultural identity. But where do role models come into play? That’s the subject of a new Barna study.

Barna reports that the role models are important because they influence the shape and substance of the next generation of churchgoers, consumers and citizens. The research group set out to determine who 13- to 17-year-olds admire most, other than their parents.

Despite excluding parents, Barna reveals that 37 percent of teens named other family members. Meanwhile, 11 percent mentioned teachers and coaches, 9 percent named friends, and a mere 6 percent named pastors or other religious leaders they know personally.

Moving beyond personal connections, Barna found that entertainers (including musicians and actors) were named by 6% of teens, followed by sports heroes (5%), political leaders (4%), faith leaders (4%), business leaders (1%), authors (1%), science and medical professionals (1%), other artists (1%), and members of the military (1%).

The high-profile leaders most commonly named were President Obama (3%) and Jesus Christ (3%). Tyra Banks, Rob Dyrdrek, Lady Gaga, Demi Lovato, Paul McCartney, Taylor Swift, Steven Spielberg and Oprah Winfrey were among the celebrities named. The only athletes who earned multiple mentions were LeBron James, Peyton Manning, Michael Phelps, Mike Tyson and David Wright. Others mentioned were Mahatma Gandhi, the Pope, Walt Disney, Bill Gates, and Martin Luther King, Jr.

The reasons for admiring these folks? It boiled down to personality and inspiration. Barna reports that the most common reasons teens admired President Obama were his hard work and self-confidence. Jesus connects with teens because of his concern for others and being an example to follow.

Ted Haggard Hot Tub

Zack —  January 27, 2011 — 4 Comments

I’m not one to pick on a man when he’s down, but when you take a picture like this you’re inviting some sort of response. Then again, if you’re featured in GQ and you have a reality TV show are you really that down?

 

Here’s the link to the GQ interview he gave in case you want to read it. And just for fun here’s what the same picture would look like if Craig Robinson from The Office and Hot Tub Time Machine had been there for the photo shoot.

The Church of Kardashian

The Church of Kardashians

By ANDREA MAGRATH

They’ve conquered clothing, fragrance, books and reality television, and now the Kardashian have created their own church.

Speaking to Piers Morgan, Kim Kardashian has revealed how she funded a church set up last year in Calabasas by her mother Kris Jenner.

The revelation came after Morgan asked the reality star if she knew how much she was worth, to which Kim replied: ‘Whatever it is, I give 10 per cent away to the church and that’s what I was taught. Every year. Absolutely.’

Ice Cream for Jesus

“Ice Cream For Jesus” Truck in Limbo

Chris Biele, Fox40 News
MANTECA —

A self-proclaimed former meth addict hopes to spread her drug prevention message around Manteca with the help of an ice cream truck, but her criminal past is getting in the way.

Olivia Lopez-Grajeda calls her business “Ice Cream For Jesus.” By looking at her van, currently sitting in a bakery parking lot, you’ll see message.

“My goal, I have on the back ‘Meth Destroys, God Restores,’ is to go out there and give hope to the hopeless,” said Lopez-Grajeda.

She’s not afraid to talk about her past addiction that she says was triggered by the loss of a child or her past criminal record, but it’s impacting where she drives her ice cream truck. Manteca’s Chief of Police rejecting her permit request based on it, according to the Manteca Bulletin.

“I’m trying to start my own business and they’re telling me ‘no’ because of my past. Well, I payed debt. I did my time for my crime,” said Lopez-Grajeda.

A spokesman for the department says this is pretty routine if someone has a record. Lopez-Grajeda will have a chance to take this up with the city council, which she plans on doing.

**Unfortunately that is not the actual truck pictured above, although that would be amazing and I would definitely buy ice cream from that ice cream truck.

Punk Rock Church

Zack —  December 22, 2010 — Leave a comment

Are you tired of your boring, old, traditional Baptist church? Are the Pentecostals too establishment for you?  Maybe names like Holy Trinity and Grace Community just don’t do it for you?

Then, maybe you should check out Scum of the Earth Church

Christianity gets the punk-rock treatment at this Denver church

By Josiah M. Hesse, Westword

Tucked behind a 7-Eleven and a liquor store, a historic church building rises above the Santa Fe art district. Commissioned in 1881 by former Colorado territorial governor Alexander Hunt, the building was once owned and restored by artist Lonnie Hanzon; you enter through a 300-year-old antique door from Paris, then pass under a cosmically decorated ceiling. The under-the-sea-meets-Mardi Gras-in-space theme continues through the bathrooms and hallways, but it co-exists comfortably with the current occupants. One large room holds scattered rows of chairs and a handful of musical instruments strewn about the far end; two upstairs bedrooms are home to a handful of young crust punks; the garage outside hosts a free bicycle workshop every Sunday afternoon.

This is the new base of the Scum of the Earth Church, a radical group of Christian outcasts hoping their brand of spirituality will find a home here, in a place where they can shed the stereotypes of being both Christians and punk-rockers. In the ten years since its inception, Scum members have congregated in everything from basements to coffeehouses to rented churches to homeless shelters. “Sometimes it’s felt like sleeping on someone’s couch for too long,” says Mike Sares, Scum’s 56-year-old senior pastor. Though he’s comfortable in his church’s new home, which Scum purchased in September 2008, he’s quick to point out that owning a building was never the goal. “The church is the people, not the building,” he says.

***Just to be clear, I think what these guys are doing is great. It may not be my particular taste in style, but the church should celebrate moments like these when she finds ways to reclaim the “unclean” things of the world for use in the kingdom of God.***

Inglorious Pastors

Zack —  December 14, 2010 — 1 Comment

Looking an exciting, action packed sermon series for your church? Are you a big Quentin Tarnantino fan?

Well, then have we got the sermon series for you!

Inglorious Pastors

For a Christian Teaching Series. Taken from the movie to fit the theme. In the sixteenth century a renegade group of Christian leaders rebelled against their own religion. These dissenters called for the church to separate from the state and to reject all forms of violence. They waged their war with weapons of peace, and many died for their radical cause of calling Christians back to the way of Christ. Known as “Anabaptists”, they dared to think that Jesus should be taken seriously when he taught his followers to turn the other cheek, love their enemies, and do good to those who hate them. Join us as we learn practical lessons for how we live today – lessons from the teachings of Jesus, embodied in the lives of these Inglorious Pastors.

 

(Thanks to my old skycoastering friend Mark for sending this one to us)

Nashville billboards claim Jesus will return May 21, 2011

By Bob Smietana

There are 24 shopping days left till Christmas.

And 171 days left until Jesus’ second coming.

That’s the message on 40 billboards around Nashville, proclaiming May 21, 2011, as the date of the Rapture. Billboards are up in eight other U.S. cities, too.

Fans of Family Radio Inc., a nationwide Christian network, paid for the billboards. Family Radio’s founder, Harold Camping, predicted the May date for the Rapture.

Their message is simple — “He Is Coming Again” — and their aim is to get unbelievers to turn around quickly. But critics say the billboards are a waste of time, one more failed attempt to predict the end of the world.

The Rapture is going to be a great day for God’s people but awful for everyone else, said Allison Warden, 29, who orchestrated Nashville’s billboard campaign. She’s a volunteer withWeCanKnow.com, a website set up by followers of Family Radio. She and other fans designed the billboards, along with T-shirts, bumper stickers and postcards to get Camping’s predictions out.

Mmm… Jesus cookies

Wes —  November 15, 2010 — Leave a comment

Here at American Jesus, we are tired of the war on Christmas.  The cookie industry has plotted for decades to remove Christian themes from cookies by cranking out cookie cutters shaped like Christmas trees, holly, and snowmen.  This year, make sure you stick it to those secular Christmas haters by using only one cookie cutter shape- baby Jesus.

That’s right, for just 7 dollars you can help us take back Christmas by making sure your kids eat baby Jesus throughout the Advent season.  For the sake of the kids, go to ebay and buy this product immediately.
