The Naked Pastor
David Hayward is the minister at Vineyard Church in Rothesay, N.B. Hayward is also an artist and comedian of sorts. Most days, this website is updated with biting cartoons and conversations David has with God through text messages and his laptop. In one of his recent texts to God, Hayward writes, “Meet you there. I should be easy to find. I’ll be the one up front giving the impression that you and I are tight.”

The Stand
An oldie but a goody. The Stand, a miniseries based on the book by Stephen King, gives an interesting take on Armageddon from a distinctively Reformed perceptive. Staring Gary Sinise and Rob Lowe among others, this series follows the survivors of a “superflu” as they gravitate towards the community of good or the community of evil. Along the way they are guided by dreams of a Moses figure called Mother Abigail or the Lucifer character, Randall Flagg.

Quotables
“I am against you,”
declares the LORD Almighty.
“I will lift your skirts over your face.
I will show the nations your nakedness
and the kingdoms your shame.
I will pelt you with filth,
I will treat you with contempt
and make you a spectacle.”
Nahum 3:5-6 (New International Version)
