Adjectives and Calvinists: A Killer Combination

No one….No one….excels at rhetoric like Calvinists. I’m sorry guys, love ya, but some of you are the biggest fan clubbers I’ve ever seen. Brian Mclaren doesn’t have this kind of devotion. And N.T. Wright can only dream. Calvin’s birthday has given the rhetorical athletes a chance to really strut their stuff. I know weContinue reading “Adjectives and Calvinists: A Killer Combination”

Easter at CNN

A conversation between Frank and Joe, weekend news producers in the CNN newsroom, Easter, 2009 Hey Frank. Hey Joe. Watcha got? Looks like we got……..we got a Sunday School teacher arrested in the murder of a little girl. Yeah, I saw that. We can probably headline that for the whole Easter weekend, don’t ya think?

Riffs: 04:02:09: The Episcopal Church Persecutes The Oppressed Muslim-Christian Minority

UPDATE II: Creech has sold over $220 of beads, string and trinkets since I lost my salvation. You people are awesome. His kids may be able to have shoes for Easter. UPDATE: Humor on board. Beware if not using proper gear. In a shocking demonstration of intolerance toward those whom God has just made differently,Continue reading “Riffs: 04:02:09: The Episcopal Church Persecutes The Oppressed Muslim-Christian Minority”

How Many Different Kinds of Pastors Are There?

Part II of my thoughts about Gillispie and your pastor. I just got a bit carried away. (Read in best grumpy old man’s voice.) Gather round the ol’ Internet Monk, you young whipper snappers. What the heck have you kids done with the pastor? No, not where did you tie him up, but what didContinue reading “How Many Different Kinds of Pastors Are There?”

Postcards From My Spring Break

Yes, this past week was my spring break. That’s why I had the time to do interviews, moderate comments, answer emails, etc. If all this had happened any other time, I’d have been at work or preparing sermons, etc. So “Thank You, Lord!” for the time to enjoy my 15 minutes. Here are some ofContinue reading “Postcards From My Spring Break”

Twenty Kinds of People Who Lurk, Read and Comment at IM

We have a lot of good people here at IM, and I count many of you as dear and wonderful friends. But I got to making this darned list….Who actually hangs out here, reads this blog every day and comments on the posts? 1. People who strive to understand what I’m doing and take somethingContinue reading “Twenty Kinds of People Who Lurk, Read and Comment at IM”

From Liberty Mountain to Mt. Ararat (or Send Me The Money Instead)

UPDATE: “Laugh or else” is a category that ought to only be used by people with a sense of humor. All others just stay clear. Apparently poking fun at Ark hunters qualifies me as an angry, Bible rejecting heretic. Well, I’d like to thank all the little people who made this possible… Since we’re talkingContinue reading “From Liberty Mountain to Mt. Ararat (or Send Me The Money Instead)”
