Tom In The Box


If you enjoy satire when combined with the crazy world of the modern American Church, then Tom in the Box is for you! "Tom" writes from the Reformed perspective, and is not only witty and funny, but has a keen insight into the foibles of modern American Christian life.

I've thrown together some links to some "TBNN" headlines that I found particularly amusing, a sort of Tom 2008 sampler:

Why Father Hollywood?

While serving in a previous ministerial call, I had to moonlight at the local Hollywood Video to pay for health insurance for the family. It took one of my coworkers a couple weeks before she stopped addressing me as "Father" and started using my first name. It was a fun job. My co-workers were the best. I got free rentals too. You can click here to see a picture. Now you know the rest of the story...
