Thus vindicating Harold Camping. I, Chaplain Mike, approved this message.
While We’re on the Subject…
By Chaplain Mike. Since we’ve been talking about eschatology, the end times, and Jesus’ return lately, we might as well take a look at one of America’s foremost prophetic prognosticators. You’ve probably heard something about the enthusiasts who think a great catastrophe that might lead to the end of the world will happen in 2012,Continue reading “While We’re on the Subject…”
Practice Resurrection, continued — Why I Love Eugene Peterson
Noted by Chaplain Mike. I’ve been distracted lately from my reading of Eugene Peterson’s new book, Practice Resurrection, a conversation about spiritual maturity from Ephesians. Tonight, I came back to it, and found this story. Sublime illustration. Two friends, Fred and Cheryl, went to Haiti twenty-five years ago to pick up a child they hadContinue reading “Practice Resurrection, continued — Why I Love Eugene Peterson”

From iMonk in March, 2009. Replayed by Chaplain Mike. David Wilkerson (Cross and the Switchblade, Times Square Church) is predicting a world changing disaster, and advises that you dust off those cans of Spam you still have from Y2k.

Sign of a Clueless Church
By Chaplain Mike OK, so I’m out driving in the country today, on my way home from seeing a patient, minding my own business. I come around a corner where a large Baptist church sits. It’s known as a conservative, no nonsense, indeeeeeependent funnnndamental King James ONLY church. Been there, done that. I’m a millionContinue reading “Sign of a Clueless Church”
Who and What Are Forming You?
A classic IM post by Michael Spencer from April, 2007. Every time I feel like I have lost my way in the Christian life, I find myself back looking at monasticism, and the lessons I learned in two decades of reading Thomas Merton. I’m not attracted to Catholicism, but I am very much attracted toContinue reading “Who and What Are Forming You?”
