What does a post-evangelical worship gathering look like? This is the soli deo worship service for this coming Tuesday night. The responsive boldface is gone and the formatting is still set for two columns, but it’s all here. We don’t print all song lyrics in the liturgy if we have them on a handout, etc.Continue reading “Post-evangelical Worship: The soli deo liturgy”

What is a “Post Evangelical?” (Part 2)
What I mean by the name “post-evangelical” keeps coming up in discussions. Though I have addressed the meaning of the term in a previous post, I’d like to make some further contributions to the discussion. I want to note, first of all, that the “Truly Reformed” blogosphere is now using the term without any explanationContinue reading “What is a “Post Evangelical?” (Part 2)”
Riffs: Are We Accelerating or Inhibiting Movements to Christ?
Bob Goodmann writes an article in Missions Frontiers Magazine you need to read. If you are a missional thinker/pastor, a person concerned with evangelism and the growth of the church, or a person making up your mind about this emerging church business, read this article.
Buchanan on Sabbath + The Sanity Verses Revisited
I think some of us need to hear the good news of sabbath and refreshment. Wow. A great book from a great writer: Mark Buchanan on “The Rest of God.” It’s the finest exploration of the role of the sabbath in the life of the Christian I have ever read. Simply superb and a delightContinue reading “Buchanan on Sabbath + The Sanity Verses Revisited”
Thinking of the Unthinkable Pastoral Response
I’ve never done a funeral for an infant. I did a graveside service for a 9-year old boy who, for all of those nine years, had lived only through constant medical care that made up for enormous mental and physical limitations. I remember that the sense of grief was mitigated by the sense that theContinue reading “Thinking of the Unthinkable Pastoral Response”
Sinning? Saved?
From time to time, I’ve referred to the common questions I get in my vocation as campus minister and Bible teacher here at OBI. Today I was asked another one that I realize is very common, and I’m sure many of you get this question in your ministry contexts. You have to understand that thisContinue reading “Sinning? Saved?”
I See Dead People: Some Thoughts On A Challies.com Post
There’s a good bit of blogosphere discussion about a post from Challies.com dealing with unregenerate children. It is a good example of why the majority of young Calvinists with children will be eventually drawn to paedobaptism. If the article itself isn’t enough to get your juices flowing, read the comments. Actually, read them anyway. JustContinue reading “I See Dead People: Some Thoughts On A Challies.com Post”
Why I Believe In The Baptism of Disciples Alone: A Credobaptist Apologia
A long overdue piece, but I don’t want to be seen as a flagwaver for this controversy. Forgive any annoying tone in this piece. I’ve sat on my credobaptist beliefs through a rising tide of paedobaptism among my blog friends. No one out there is coming to the Internet Monk to work through the issueContinue reading “Why I Believe In The Baptism of Disciples Alone: A Credobaptist Apologia”
If You Have A Calvinist For A Pastor…
A friend is pastor of a large SBC church I’m familiar with, and a faction in the church is trying to end his ministry because, according to this group, Calvinists are the sum of all evil. Several friends have written and called for my views, so this post is a generic reply to them all.Continue reading “If You Have A Calvinist For A Pastor…”
Liberty, Conscience and the Glory of God
The text for a sermon I heard this morning was I Corinthians 10:23ff. 1 Corinthians 10:23 – 11:1 23 “All things are lawful,” but not all things are helpful. “All things are lawful,” but not all things build up. 24 Let no one seek his own good, but the good of his neighbor. 25 EatContinue reading “Liberty, Conscience and the Glory of God”
