By Chaplain Mike After 6pm tomorrow night, I will either be “caught up together with them to meet the Lord in the air” (1Thess 4:17), or so busy dealing with the aftermath of The Global Earthquake that will shake the world, that I will not have time for blogging. And since I have decided notContinue reading “My Last Post . . . Ever!”

Time to Leave Behind the Rapture
By Chaplain Mike Come on, children You’re acting like children Every generation Thinks it’s the end of the world – Wilco, “You Never Know” I had a spiritual awakening as a teenager in a time when prophetic expectations were high.

Changing Churches
I live in a city where changing churches is an art form. Those who have been in their same church for ten or more years are as rare as an Oklahoman who doesn’t like football (which is the unofficial state religion). They are as rare as an Arkansan with a full set of teeth. WhenContinue reading “Changing Churches”
My Favorite Comment (May 2011)
By Chaplain Mike Every once in awhile, I receive a comment from a member of our Internet Monk community that I can’t get out of my mind.

The Sad Views of Stephen Hawking
By Chaplain Mike In an exclusive interview with The Guardian, cosmologist Stephen Hawking was as blunt and clear as he could be about his views on life beyond this life. “I regard the brain as a computer which will stop working when its components fail. There is no heaven or afterlife for broken down computers;Continue reading “The Sad Views of Stephen Hawking”
Ask Chaplain Mike: Dealing with Those Who Hold Views I Used to Hold
By Chaplain Mike After this morning’s profound and personal inquiry, this afternoon I thought I’d tackle a shorter question. In some senses, it’s not any easier. I have found as a chaplain that it is sometimes easier to help people face death than it is to help them sort out life. It can get prettyContinue reading “Ask Chaplain Mike: Dealing with Those Who Hold Views I Used to Hold”
Ask Chaplain Mike: Dying Well
By Chaplain Mike First of all, thank you for your stimulating questions. I have received several, enough to keep us busy for a few weeks here. I will try to post an “Ask Chaplain Mike” post at least 2 or 3 times a week for the foreseeable future. As a reminder of how to getContinue reading “Ask Chaplain Mike: Dying Well”
He Goes Ahead of Us
By Chaplain Mike “When he puts forth all his own, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice.” (John 10:4, NASB) This morning’s poem was a meditation on the idea (the reality!) that the Shepherd goes before us into each day and prepares the way. He leads usContinue reading “He Goes Ahead of Us”
