The Sofa has been going for a while. Once upon a time, I made a poster advertising a made up event about Christian Male Pastors, being all Christian and Male.
Obviously. That was a made up event, and no one would advertise anything that badly.
Thankfully this is also a totally* made up poster about a sermon series featuring guys telling Christian Women about being women.
*The Friendly Atheist has done a bit of digging into this, and it seems that sadly. This appears to be a real event.
“This week in the internet” – Where The Sofa tries to make sense of some of the random things he’s come across in Christian Internet this week…
And this week. There is alot of Trump. (Including his favourite Bible verse).
The “For Trump” or “Against God” Argument…
From The Jim Bakker Show…
Donald Trump reveals his Favourite Bible Verse…
Or kinda reveals something anyway…
1. You mention that the Bible is your favorite book !!! 2. What are your favorite Bible verses ? – I don't want to get into it 3. The Bible means a lot to me 4. Are you a New or Old testament guy ? – Probably equal 5. The Bible is just incredible 6. The Bible is special
Every now and then, the Sofa writes something that gets out of date. A few days ago, Sofa published a (possibly*) useful list of things to pack for a Christian Festival. Since then the weather has turned a little more apocalyptic…
So. In honour of the current apocalypse raging in the clouds above, here is the the Church Sofa Christian Festival Emergency Kit of Stuff. (Affiliate links be below)
Obviously if you’re struggling to enjoy being somewhere due to the weather at the moment… hopefully this will get some sort of smile…
Not Noahs Ark.
You dont need Noahs Ark! This is the boat you need! It will fit in your car, and you can use it to get to the showers! Grab it now from Amazon!
Wellies!
The perfect kit to cook breakfast in! (But please also wear other items if outside your tent).
Welcome to Christian festival season. The time of year when Church buildings become empty, and fields become full of Christian Festivals taking place. With Christian festivals such as Edgefest, New Wine, Keswick, Greenbelt. and Creation Fest, there are plenty to choose from.
But what should you pack to a Christian Festival? What should you try and force into your suitcase? (If anything at all?) Here is the Church Sofa kit list of things to pack for a Christian Festival. (With affiliate links below)
Portable Battery Charger. You know… so you can keep your smart phone charged. Important as how else are you going to read the Bible? (Also helpful for sending tweets to @TheChurchSofa)
Bacon. Bacon is awesome. Be awesome.
Guitar. For leading early morning worship sessions.
Wine. Recently brought. Because what else would you drink?
Fire lighters, in case calling down fire from heaven, doesn’t light your little barbecue.
In case it gets to wet to take out your phone, pack a Waterproof Bible.
A paper map of the festival. Useful for noting down things like secret tunnels, quiet showers, and people generous with wine.
Water pistols. In case baptisms are needed.
Earplugs. In case your neighbors have also brought a guitar.
What have I missed from the above?
*Perform any of the implied actions above at your risk. Church Sofa doesn’t take any responsibility for most things, not even you ending up in Christian Festival Jail.
Poverty, ecological devastation and oppressive systems are among some of the biggest issues facing America today. Reverend William Barber and Reverend Liz Theoharis believe that it’s time to address these issues with a uniting approach. They’ve traveled the country, following and guiding the Poor People’s Campaign: a wave of nonviolent civil disobedience first started by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Their aim? To shift the narrative around poverty and empower all.
