The recently penned dispatch:
I believe in Christianity as I believe the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.
- C. S. Lewis
So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.
Galatians 6:10 (ESV)
At the recent Westminster Seminary California faculty conference, Mike Horton said -
“God doesn’t need your good works, your neighbor does.”
In the spirit of this truth, I’m asking you to help a neighbor some of you have never met. Michael Spencer (aka “the Internet Monk“) is a pastor and writer living in Kentucky.
While I’ve never met Michael personally, I call him friend. Our relationship began some time ago when I discovered his blog and then began to grow when he allowed me to do the re-design of his website.
Michael is an outstanding writer, devoting his blog to “dispatches from the post-evangelical wilderness” and writing eloquently on what he terms “the coming evangelical collapse.”
First and foremost, his writing is about developing a “Jesus-shaped spirituality.”

Surviving Satan's fury - the story behind this site. Retold for you as it actually happened.

Beyond Here there be Dragons
This is the warning that the ancient mapmakers would put on their maps to warn ships that they were about to enter into uncharted waters – unknown and dangerous territory.
This site chronicles a quest – my quest to discover and live the part that God has written into His story for me – it is a journey into uncharted waters.
It is written from a Christian perspective – hopefully a bit different one than what you may have been told Christianity was all about. No steeples, no incense, no religion. Just a story.
Life is, after all, a story.
John Eldredge said it a lot better than I ever could...
“... Like a movie that we arrived at forty minutes late, our lives really don’t make much sense until we understand the rest of the Story. We all need to understand the Story of this life we live, and find our place in it.”
You’re invited to come with me on this quest into uncharted waters.
To borrow a phrase from C. S. Lewis – perhaps we’ll both go “further up and further in.”
