A speech about saving America and the church, in case you just don’t care enough actually watch the clip before you comment. Anytime someone tells me the “Creation museum” is a museum I want to run this piece out. Ham’s organization owns this “museum.” It’s goal is to get the public in and discredit anyContinue reading “Can someone tell me why a “Creation” Educator is giving this speech at a “Creation Museum?””

Rev Eric Dudley, St. Peter’s Anglican Church, Tallahassee, Florida: The Nuts and Bolts of Anglican Liturgy
We’ve been talking the Evangelical/Protestant liturgy recently, so why not something to give us some background in an evangelical Anglican liturgy. I’ve been watching with great interest- OK, with undiluted envy- the growth of one of the new Anglican congregations in the southeast, St.Peter’s Anglican in Tallahassee, Florida. If you aren’t getting their podcasts, youContinue reading “Rev Eric Dudley, St. Peter’s Anglican Church, Tallahassee, Florida: The Nuts and Bolts of Anglican Liturgy”
Open Mic at the iMonk Cafe: Miracle Testimonies
Testimonies about miracles. I’m not much on them. At least once a year or so, I’ll have someone want to tell our ministry of mostly non-Christian kids a “miracle” testimony of being healed, delivered from drugs, saved from prison, etc. I obviously don’t say “no,” but I really struggle with this kind of thing onContinue reading “Open Mic at the iMonk Cafe: Miracle Testimonies”
How To Lose A Young Mind #1 (with a few thoughts on Dawkins)
(or Why Waste All That Time Considering Evidence When You Can Announce Your Presuppositions and Be Done With It) I’ve been monitoring a discussion at a prominent Calvinistic blog regarding Richard Dawkin’s defense of evolution in his new book, The Greatest Show On Earth. I do a unit on the New Atheists in my AdvancedContinue reading “How To Lose A Young Mind #1 (with a few thoughts on Dawkins)”

I Recommend the Carp On The IM Menu
I rarely do posts about the site itself, but with a lot of new readers, there are some things that need to be said occasionally. Every few months, I will get a letter here at the Internet Monk mail room that goes something like this (not a real letter btw, but very close): Mr. Monk,Continue reading “I Recommend the Carp On The IM Menu”
No Regrets: A Better Look At Life
Young folks in ministry. Adults living in regret. This is for you. There was a time, in the last decade, that I constantly and painfully struggled with regrets about various choices I’d made in my life. I regretted not finishing doctoral studies. (I made it 37 hours in and never finished the paper.) I regrettedContinue reading “No Regrets: A Better Look At Life”
The Evangelical Liturgy 16: Baptism
I need to be very clear at the outset: we won’t be having a discussion on the theology of baptism. I will be talking about the place of baptism in liturgy, and I will be doing so from the standpoint of a credobaptist describing the Protestant liturgical worship service. Most formal worship spaces, even simpleContinue reading “The Evangelical Liturgy 16: Baptism”
Preaching For Grown-Ups: Mark 10:17-22
Today’s Lectionary text actually was longer, but I confined the sermon to understanding the young man’s approach to Jesus in a bit less revivalistic terms and in getting to the central challenge Jesus presented to him. If you don’t know, I am the supply preacher for a small Presbyterian Church in our community. It’s myContinue reading “Preaching For Grown-Ups: Mark 10:17-22”
