There’s new writing at Jesus Shaped Spirituality: The Jesus Question and A Note to Todd Bentley. I received a wonderful “Wish List” package from IM reader David Z in Australia, but no email address anywhere. So thank you, David.

The Church Membership Question: Church Basics (An iMonk 101 Post)
Let’s continue with the church membership theme as we wait for two more interviews to arrive via Van Til express delivery. In January of 2006 I wrote a major IM essay on what I believe about the local church. As I said in an introduction that doesn’t appear below, it will clear up forever anyContinue reading “The Church Membership Question: Church Basics (An iMonk 101 Post)”
Introduction to the ESV Study Bible
Since we’re talking Bibles, here’s the Apple….uh…ESV Study Bible.
New Posts at Jesus Shaped Spirituality
I have two new posts at JSS in a series called “Where’s Jesus?” (And Part two. Part three is on the way.) It’s some of the exegetical material I’ll be using in my message Sunday a.m. at church. Be sure and add Jesus Shaped Spirituality to your readers, and let others know that I amContinue reading “New Posts at Jesus Shaped Spirituality”
Chronicle of the Journey
Back in the day, many of you counted on me to write about my personal journey. As I’m sure you’ve noticed, almost all of that kind of material has gone into storage or been deleted. Hopefully, this piece will recalibrate us all on the journey, but not cause quite the chaos in my environment asContinue reading “Chronicle of the Journey”
A.J. Jacobs talks about “The Year of Living Biblically”
NOTE: I am not recommending this man’s book. Jacobs isn’t a Christian or even a serious Jew. He’s a writer who does experiments to sell books. This one should be of interest to anyone who reads the Bible seriously. If posting this has offended some of you, sorry.
Recommendation and Review: Leaving Church by Barbara Brown Taylor
If you are in the post-evangelical wilderness, this is a must read. No review can tell you how encouraged you’ll be by this story. I’ve got a lot of brief book reviews to write in the next few weeks to catch up after sabbatical, but I don’t want to pass up recommending an exceptional wonderContinue reading “Recommendation and Review: Leaving Church by Barbara Brown Taylor”
Who Translated the New Living Translation? (And More Thoughts on Advocating English Translations)
For starters, let’s have a full accounting of my participation in the Great Translation Circus. Right behind me is the Thompson Chain Reference KJV that I used in preaching from high school up into college. Not too far from it is a shelf where I have many of the Bibles I’ve used in my adultContinue reading “Who Translated the New Living Translation?

Sabbatical Update: Beyond Cornerstone (Updated 7/6)
UPDATE: Sunday, July 6. I’m home. Made it back to Louisville Saturday night and then on to southeastern Kentucky Sunday a.m. I have a week of official sabbatical left, but I’m actually off work until the middle of August. So I’ll be blogging quite a bit both here and at JSS. Expect a podcast soonContinue reading “Sabbatical Update: Beyond Cornerstone (Updated 7/6)”
Pray at the Pump: A Meditation on Jesus and Economic Discipleship
Here’s the current post at my new blog, and an example of what you will be reading there in the future. Several days ago, I posted an invitation to discuss Jesus and Gas Prices on this blog. It’s a topic that, to a large extent, will reveal how much we really can engage our imaginationContinue reading “Pray at the Pump: A Meditation on Jesus and Economic Discipleship”
