My long slow journey away from Evangelicalism
A little over 10 years ago I started writing for Internet Monk. If you had asked me at that point if I was an Evangelical I would have answered with an enthusiastic “Yes!” Well, actually it would have been a qualified yes, because one of the tenets of the Evangelical movement was “Inerrancy”. I reallyContinue reading “My long slow journey away from Evangelicalism”
What is an Evangelical?
I have been hanging around Internet Monk for about thirteen years now, and writing for it for almost as long. This has been a journey for me, and part of the at journey has been a movement away from Evangelicalism. Like many of our readers, it has been a journey into a “Post-Evangelical Wilderness.” ThereContinue reading “What is an Evangelical?”
Another Look: Elder Qualifications – Difficulties in Translation and Interpretation

Note from CM: Here is an interesting post by Michael from 2008 (which I have edited to make it more concise). I’m not sure I heard him talk or write much about the things he says here. I wasn’t sure if he went through the same “counter-culture” experiences as I did or what he thoughtContinue reading “Tuesday with Michael Spencer: The Missing Voice of the Christian Counter-Culture”
Let’s discuss…abortion
Let’s discuss…abortion * Update: I will cut off comments at midnight tonight for this post. * Note from CM: I will try to moderate this closely today. The “pro-life” (anti-abortion) movement has become invigorated since the election of President Trump in 2016, and many Christians support him largely on this basis. They cannot even conceiveContinue reading “Let’s discuss…abortion”
What a strange strange week!
What a strange, strange week I’ve had. I must say I am feeling a little discombobulated. Let me start with end of the week and work my way backwards. I think you will find a few engaging tidbits, so be sure to read to the end. First, the picture is of a Chokecherry tree. IfContinue reading “What a strange strange week!”
Views of God and the Corona Virus
Few things caused me to become more upset in the early days of the pandemic, than people stating their opinions about how God and the pandemic were related. The more I thought about it though, the more I realized that these views reinforce what I wrote back in February of 2019 when I asked: “WhatContinue reading “Views of God and the Corona Virus”
