Editor’s Note: This is a transcript of a lecture given on the campus of a private college in the late 1980s. I came across this while working for a publisher several years ago. When it came into our possession, we first tried to contact Prof. Van Lorn in order to arrange with him the publicationContinue reading “Flying Through The Flame Of Creativity”

Saturday Ramblings 5.26.12
Happy holiday weekend, iMonks! I always was amazed at those who could not keep their holidays straight. How could anyone confuse Memorial Day—the start of summer—with Labor Day—the end of summer? There are days of memories and days of laboring, and while often times they are one and the same, once you capitalize them, theyContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 5.26.12”
Saturday Ramblings 5.19.12
What a week it has been here at the iMonastery. We’ve had some very good conversations about some very difficult topics, which, I think, have left us all worn out. I think it might be nice if we all get a glass of iced tea, find a spot under the shade tree, and smile aContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 5.19.12”
What We Should Do
This morning I asked the question, “Where should we draw the line in the sand concerning sexual sin?” The comments to that post have been thoughtful, insightful, challenging. This is a very difficult question, with really no clear answers. Yet it is a topic we cannot ignore. Because of President Obama’s stance on gay marriage,Continue reading “What We Should Do”
Drawing A Line In The Sand
They were trying to trap him into saying something they could use against him, but Jesus stooped down and wrote in the dust with his finger. [John 8:6, NLT] I have a friend—let’s call her Gwen—who is searching for a new church. This is a popular pastime in Tulsa. Church-hopping is an artform for manyContinue reading “Drawing A Line In The Sand”
Saturday Ramblings 5.12.12
Well, iMonks, we’ve made it through yet another week. We’ve been cooking and cleaning and praying the offices and visiting with visitors. What we haven’t done is talk about the following topics. And once we have done so, you may have a good view of why we haven’t. Shall we ramble? Thanks to the versatile Adam PalmerContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 5.12.12”
Recommended Summer Reading
This morning we looked at some summer tunes I recommend are worth your time to explore. Before we turn to some good books to read during this season, let me try to explain why we take time to make book and music recommendations in the first place. Yes, we are a “religious” blog per se,Continue reading “Recommended Summer Reading”
Recommended Summer Listening
The sun is staying up later, the temperatures are getting warmer, and the Orioles (the Orioles? Yes, the Baltimore Orioles!) have the best record in baseball. In must be the cusp of summer. The kiddies will be out of school soon, which means most all of us will be getting on the road and drivingContinue reading “Recommended Summer Listening”
Al Mohler’s Problem With Grace
Note: This post is not about homosexuality, though that is a topic I deal with. Keep your comments consistant with the theme of this post, and don’t drift into a pro- or anti-homosexual rant. Those comments will be deleted. The worms are loose after Al Mohler opened a can of them on his blog thisContinue reading “Al Mohler’s Problem With Grace”
Saturday Ramblings 4.28.12
It has been a fairly quiet week here at the iMonastery. We have been going about our duties and offices as usual. Still, somehow we end the week with a mess of leftovers. Being the thrifty and lazy monks that we are, we have poured everything into a mixing bowl, added some breadcrumbs, put itContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 4.28.12”
