Mark Bertrand on watchblogging and the “either/or” assumptions of its practitioners. This post deserves wide circulation among all bloggers. I’ve told this story before, but it bears retelling. I once had a young reformed Baptist pastor and his wife over to our home for dinner. We had mutual friends and I wanted to be ableContinue reading “Riffs: JMarkBertrand: Diss Isn’t Discernment”

A Post For The Kid With The Black Eye
This is my fifteenth year working at a Christian boarding school, and one constant during all of that time has been conversations about bullies. I’ve probably talked with 300 students about how to respond to a bully. I’ve probably had 50 conversations about the effect a particular bully was having on other students. Because IContinue reading “A Post For The Kid With The Black Eye”
As the last child walks away: Clarity at the Crossroads of Life
UPDATE: Denise’s post of this weekend’s events. We’d been gone from Lexington about 5 minutes when Denise started crying. “Twenty-one years I’ve been cooking for my children. That’s a big chunk of your life.” You have such thoughts on the day you take you son to college. You stand at the crossroads, the haze lifts,Continue reading “As the last child walks away: Clarity at the Crossroads of Life”
Review: Finding God Beyond Harvard
Kelly Monroe Kullberg’s Finding God Beyond Harvard is several good things. It’s an account of the author’s own journey into a significant ministry that is touching the core of universities around America, while at the same time keeping her focus on the spiritual hungers and thirsts of university students. Kullberg is a gifted writer whoContinue reading “Review: Finding God Beyond Harvard”

I Hear Pepper Talking
Personification. With me, it’s more than just a hobby. It’s a way of life. I’m reasonably sure that there are entire blogs being developed to prove that I am mentally ill, “dangerously unstable,” without sufficient assurance of faith to be truly converted and unfit for the ministry. The fact is, I do have one seriousContinue reading “I Hear Pepper Talking”
Thanks To Doug Wilson and Dan Edelen
The Internet Monk and Boar’s Head Tavern web sites received a real compliment today. Both were added to the “Theology” sidebar at Douglas Wilson’s site, Blog and Mablog. As one of the BHT fellows said, Wilson is the kind of person who can say, “I disagree with you, but we are fellow Christians talking aboutContinue reading “Thanks To Doug Wilson and Dan Edelen”

Do you ever doubt your Christian beliefs?
“Michael, do you ever doubt your Christian beliefs?” Yes. I do. In fact, I’ve written an entire essay on the subject of my personal doubts: I Have My Doubts. It’s an IM favorite. While it’s more confessional than comprehensive, it does address the subject of doubt, the depth of doubt, and the path of myContinue reading “Do you ever doubt your Christian beliefs?”
