Genesis is a source of children’s stories, a favorite among Sunday school curriculum writers. And what is there not to like? There are animals and boats and rainbows. There is a man with a fancy robe made with lots of bright colors. There is a garden where everyone is happy and safe. And there isContinue reading “R. Crumb’s Book Of Genesis Reviewed”

A Rosary By Any Other Name … Is For What, Now?
Editor’s Note: Alan Creech is a longtime friend, sponsor and contributor to the Internet Monk community. I asked Alan, in light of recent news stories about celebrities and gang members wearing rosaries, to help us understand the true usage of this oft-misunderstood piece of Christian “gear.” You can visit Alan’s web site to see theContinue reading “A Rosary By Any Other Name … Is For What, Now?”
Big Butter Jesus, Part Two
Editor’s note: Many were offended earlier this week when Chaplain Mike wrote about the statue outside of Solid Rock Church in Monroe, Ohio burning down. Chaplain Mike referred back to a quote from John Piper, and some were upset that we would dare to touch the “third rail” by being even slightly critical of Piper.Continue reading “Big Butter Jesus, Part Two”
Courage The Cowardly Christian
“Hello, my name is Jeff, and I am a spiritual coward.” (Chorus) “Hi, Jeff.” This is me, a spiritual coward.

Those who know me may say, “ButContinue reading “Courage The Cowardly Christian”

And today,Continue reading “It’s Here!”
Reds Roundup–Oh Were Those Good Ribs!
The first annual Internet Monk Day At The Reds was a rousing success! Well, except for the fact the Reds lost to the Kansas City Royals. (Did you know everything’s up-to-date in Kansas City? They’ve gone about as far as they can go…) The Reds’ bullpen melted down in the seventh and eighth innings, noContinue reading “Reds Roundup–Oh Were Those Good Ribs!”
