Have you ever been experienced? (Jimi Hendrix, 1967) We’ve been talking about religious experiences this week. The good, the bad, the ugly. Some want to write off all experiences as false and misleading. Others cling to miracles and touchy-feely stuff as the point of contact for their faith. Me? I’m all messed up. I wasContinue reading “Are You Experienced?”

Evening Psalm
God, our Upholder, how vast is your signature over all the earth. It reflects your glory in the heavens. From the mouth of infants and nurslings you have made a foundation of strength—to oppose those who oppose you, to bring the enemy and person of vengeance to a halt. When I behold your name inContinue reading “Evening Psalm”
Morning Psalm
God, you are for us a strength and shelter—in times of affliction, you are found everywhere we look. And so we won’t be afraid at changes of the earth, when mountains tumble into the heart of the sea or waters rage with tumultuous froth; the peaks quake in awe of your presence. Selah. A river—itsContinue reading “Morning Psalm”

Another Look: Our Dangerous God
Nearly five years ago a friend of mine stepped forward in our Sunday morning service to share a message he had wrestled with for weeks. It was not a message he was excited to share, but knew that God was compelling him to do so. The word he shared that morning changed my life. GodContinue reading “Another Look: Our Dangerous God”
The Mystery Of A Lost Generation
I read two very interesting articles on CNN.com this week. One told of how more of those under the age of 30 are expressing doubt in the existence of God than ever before. The other was a story of the Clergy Project, an effort to help those pastors who want to come out of theContinue reading “The Mystery Of A Lost Generation”
My Apologies
I finally had some time to do some maintenance on my end of things here this morning. Normally I just have time to do what has to be done to keep the fire from raging out of control, and sometimes I don’t even do that. (As you know, we’ve been having quite a few problemsContinue reading “My Apologies”
Saturday Ramblings 6.9.12
Happy Saturday, iMonks! I hope this has been a happy week for you. Are you happy? I’m happy.

Saturday Ramblings
Oh joy. Today is the annual neighborhood garage sale in your Rambler’s neighborhood. I’ve spent the week culling out junk that I didn’t even remember I had, dusting it off, and putting ridiculously low prices on it all. As you are reading this, I’m sitting in a lawn chair, hoping that it all sells forContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings”
Open Mic: Pastoral Succession
John Piper has announced his intention to step down as pastor of Bethlehem Baptist Church in Minneapolis, a position he has filled for 32 years. Piper is not ill, and admits he still has the energy to pastor the church for at least another 10 years. But, he says, he feels his church is readyContinue reading “Open Mic: Pastoral Succession”
