It’s that time of week again. Saturday has come around, just like usual. And I’ll bet they have Sunday scheduled for tomorrow. Well, before we move on to Monday, let us stroll through some leftovers from this past week. Or, as we like to say, let’s ramble. There is an epidemic in Ghana. An epidemicContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 5.14.11”

The Scariest Word Of All
This morning we looked at the name many Christians shy away from —the name of Jesus. Now I want to look at the scariest word to many who claim to be followers of Jesus. I wrote on this word a few weeks back and took shots upside the head in the comments for days afterward.Continue reading “The Scariest Word Of All”
A Most Difficult Name
I am a man of words. Not a man of few words—just ask those who have spent any time with me. I read and write and speak in words. We all use words everyday in one way or another. As Christians, we are people of The Word. But I’ve noticed there are certain words weContinue reading “A Most Difficult Name”
Saturday Ramblings 4-30-11
England? Something happened in England, huh? Another soccer riot? The development of a car with a working electrical system? What’s that? Wedding? Who got married? Not Sir Mick again. Bill and Kate? Never heard of ’em. So, since it is not something that holds my interest more than the requisite four seconds, I suggest weContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 4-30-11”
David Wilkerson: May 19, 1931-April 27, 2011
I first read The Cross And The Switchblade in its comic book format. I had been a Christian for less than a year when I picked this up and read it. What struck me was the story of a man who heard the Lord calling him, and he obeyed. He heard the Lord calling andContinue reading “David Wilkerson: May 19, 1931-April 27, 2011”
Writers’ Roundtable: The Coming Collapse Of Evangelicalism
In January, 2009, Michael Spencer fired a shot across the bow of the evangelical church with a three part series, The Coming Collapse of Evangelicalism. (You can access all three parts here.) I have asked our iMonk writers to revisit these posts for today’s roundtable discussion. We are two-plus years removed from Michael’s predictions. WasContinue reading “Writers’ Roundtable: The Coming Collapse Of Evangelicalism”
Saturday Ramblings 4.23.11
Your Rambler is back after a two-week hiatus. Did you miss me? What do you mean you didn’t even know I was gone? Is that any way to treat your intrepid reporter? In case you’ve forgotten, Saturday Ramblings is our chance to do a little light housekeeping around the iMonastery. Well, after two weeks off,Continue reading “Saturday Ramblings 4.23.11”
The Fourteenth Station: Jesus Is Laid In The Tomb
Scripture Now there was a man named Joseph, a member of the Council, a good and upright man, who had not consented to their decision and action. He came from the Judean town of Arimathea, and he himself was waiting for the kingdom of God.  Going to Pilate, he asked for Jesus’ body. Then he took it down,Continue reading “The Fourteenth Station: Jesus Is Laid In The Tomb”
The Death Of Jesus
I grew up in the faith in an American Baptist Church in southwest Ohio. It was, like many such churches, staunchly anti-Catholic. One thing our pastor was always hammering Catholics over was the crucifix. “Why do they have a crucifix on their walls?” he would ask. “Jesus is no longer on the cross. That’s whyContinue reading “The Death Of Jesus”
