OK frustrated voters. Let’s help each other out.
Who will be your “write-in” candidates for the national ticket?
I’m strongly tempted to write in Al Mohler for President and Ken Silva for VP. These two guys are predictable conservatives who know everything.
Right behind them: T.D. Jakes and Paula White. They can get us out of this financial […]

It’s my third go around on my favorite radio/podcast program.
We talked about Halloween, the Election and House, M.D.
If SBE isn’t on your itunes, you’re missing one of the best treats on the web.
Thanks to Erik, Kathy and Steve for a great time.

On the study Bible front:
The Hope for Today Bible—featuring notes and encouragement from pastor and author Joel Osteen and his wife, Victoria—is to be released in March by Free Press, an imprint of Simon & Schuster.
Osteen—who wrote the best-sellers Your Best Life Now (FaithWords) and Become a Better You (Free Press)—pastors Lakewood Church in Houston […]

UPDATE: Looks like there’s more than I thought.
Many in the Internetmonk.com audience may not know that the English Standard Version Study Bible is not the only Study Bible that’s been in the works,. Before Christmas, expect to see some of these study Bibles appearing on bookstore shelves and in cyber bookstalls near you.
The Phil Johnson […]

…and the resulting train wreck is there for you to read in the comments thread. Arminian Today Blog placed the ESV Study Bible video on their site and gave a plug for the Bible. Sounds safe…right?
What follows is a study in why I’m not a Calvinist anymore, and it should be funny…but it’s hard to […]

UPDATE: Thanks to Brandon M for the first exhibit. Oprah needs to get some work done on her hands, though.
Van Til here again. The lawsuit is proceeding well, but I need some evidence.
I need “Product Placement Photographs” of the ESV Study Bible.
Where in the media has Justin Taylor cleverly placed the ESV Study Bible where […]

Just in case the talking dog doesn’t do it, this is a bit o’humor. I can’t wait to get my copy….and if it’s not here by the 15th, I’m starting a crusade to Wheaton.
Let me say hello to the Internet Monk audience and re-introduce myself. My name is Van Til, and in addition to my […]

That entire “infant baptism” scene in The Godfather would have been very strange if the Corleones were Baptists in a revival meeting listening to some evangelist.

My wife spent an hour in the sanctuary today contemplating the Eucharist.
I spent an hour in the sanctuary fixing the projector.

Flat out the funniest take on evangelicals out there is Rock TV. Watch this one, and then check out WWJD Radio.

My wife sent me an email this morning.
I keep forgetting to tell you that there’s an obligatory Mass this week (for the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary.) St. Ann is celebrating Thursday at 6:00 p.m. and St. William Friday at 6:00 p.m. Assuming we are going to the waterpark Thursday, I’ll […]

Humor alert. I said HUMOR ALERT. Yes…YOU…that means YOU. It’s HUMOR.
OK. For those of you that don’t know or don’t remember, my wife is entering the Roman Catholic Church. It’s been rough and I don’t really have anything to say about that. Communication on the relevant subjects hasn’t been easy, and laughter- formerly a big […]

I got a letter yesterday that asked how my chaplaincy training was going, which was a nice thing to ask, except I’m not in chaplaincy training or any other kind of training. I added this to my collection of communications telling me that I am resigning my job, joining the Roman Catholic Church and so […]

Is it just me, or are some Christians putting too much emphasis on the Gospels?
There’s a lot of talk about the Kingdom of God in the Gospels. That gets many people off on the wrong track entirely.
Some people are always quoting the parables or Jesus’ sermons. All of these things need some further elaboration, footnotes […]
