By Chaplain Mike Hey, I have an idea. Let’s make this a Labor Day tradition. Since the Bible is our instruction book for family relationships, and since it spells out detailed instructions for every situation in life about how husbands ought to fulfill their roles as manly leaders, how wives ought to exemplify femininity andContinue reading “The Annual Internet Monk Family Series”

NFL Football on the Horizon
By Chaplain Mike I consider myself a fairly typical American sports fan. I can’t afford to be a season ticket holder, but I love going to games when I can, and enjoy watching on TV. I generally follow all the big events like everyone else—World Series, the weekly college and pro football games, the golfContinue reading “NFL Football on the Horizon”
A “Mass” of Catholics
Today’s post is from guest blogger Daniel Jepsen One of the great things about the English language is its utter absurdity. Foreigners trying to learn English can be forgiven for wondering if we made up some rules just to confuse them. Take collective nouns for animals. Instead of just calling several members of the sameContinue reading “A “Mass” of Catholics”
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”
Where’s John Piper When You Need Him?
By Chaplain Mike MOD NOTE: I’ve gone back and weeded out some comment threads that got off track. BTW: this post is not about John Piper, egalitarianism, homosexuality, or who goes to heaven and hell. It’s tongue-in-cheek, humor, folks, about a “striking” incident (insert groan here). Oh yeah, and please do buy the book! LastContinue reading “Where’s John Piper When You Need Him?”
Glenn Beck, Church Historian?
By Chaplain Mike Over at Art Boulet’s blog, he quotes the following historical recap about the Dead Sea Scrolls from Glenn Beck’s radio show: When Constantine decided that he was going to cobble together an army, he did the Council of Nicaea, right, pat? Council of Nicaea, and what they did is brought all ofContinue reading “Glenn Beck, Church Historian?”

Sunday in Mayberry
Presented by Chaplain Mike Now I know why I receive some of the comments I get after a post.
Weird Uncle Harry — the Music Video
By Chaplain Mike. Warning: Many of you won’t have the stomach to watch more than a few minutes of this. One thing I have always appreciated about Michael is his courage to point out “Christian” craziness and call it for what it is. Some people object to that kind of truth-telling, thinking it is somehowContinue reading “Weird Uncle Harry — the Music Video”
Classic iMonk: Easter Weekend at the Megachurch
Re-posted by Chaplain Mike. Consider this an update on the Rick Warren post. Back in March of 2005, Michael couldn’t help but share the following comment from the Boar’s Head Tavern. BHT Fellow Judson posted: “I just received a recorded phone call from my pastor inviting me to attend Easter Sunday.” Lurker Eric replied withContinue reading “Classic iMonk: Easter Weekend at the Megachurch”
