Compiled by Chaplain Mike “I believe that we are on the verge- within 10 years- of a major collapse of evangelical Christianity; a collapse that will follow the deterioration of the mainline Protestant world and that will fundamentally alter the religious and cultural environment in the West. I believe this evangelical collapse will happen withContinue reading “Memorable iMonk Quotes”

iMonk on The Evangelical Circus
“Evangelical” in the historic sense of the term—adhering to a faith that centers on Christ and the Gospel—the late Michael Spencer nevertheless became a “Post-Evangelical” with regard to the culture of evangelical practice, especially as it has developed in the U.S. Today we offer some incisive quotes from the Internet Monk on various aspects ofContinue reading “iMonk on The Evangelical Circus”
Another Look: Now in Another Wilderness
By Chaplain Mike This is the post I wrote after learning of Michael’s death a year ago. I offer it again in the hope that it will help you understand how much Michael meant to those who now write on Internet Monk, and why we write about the things we do. I had been wanderingContinue reading “Another Look: Now in Another Wilderness”

TheContinue reading “iMonk Classic: There Is Always a Day Before”
Preaching Grace Is A Risky Business
I don’t normally do this. Three posts in one day is a bit much, I know. And I love what Chaplain Mike just put up about The Giving Tree. (If you have not read that, please do. It is a great primer on the whole topic of grace.) But there is such an uproar goingContinue reading “Preaching Grace Is A Risky Business”

FAQ: On Grace
Update: As I said, the word “grace” causes a lot of Christians to get their undies bunched up. So before you start to tell me just how wrong I am to say that we are saved—and continue in our salvation-–by grace through faith alone, I urge you to scroll over to the righthand side ofContinue reading “FAQ: On Grace”
iMonk Classic: An Excerpt on Grace
From Michael Spencer’s Classic Post, “Our Problem with Grace” Note from CM: Some recent comments prompted me to recall some words from Michael Spencer about grace. It’s what we’re all about here at IM, and it deserves continuing emphasis. The Gospels are full of examples of people whose observable obedience is unimpressive when compared toContinue reading “iMonk Classic: An Excerpt on Grace”
