Calvinist…

Posted: August 31, 2009 by Michael Dewalt in You Might be a Calvinist if...

Although my house be not so with God; yet he hath made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things, and sure: for this is all my salvation, and all my desire, although he make it not to grow. (2 Samuel 23:5) This is not so much one promise as an aggregate of promises—a [...]

The Omniscience of God

Psalms 139:1-6 TO THE CHOIRMASTER. A PSALM OF DAVID. O LORD, you have searched me and known me! You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from afar. You search out my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my ways. Even before a word [...]

Collision – Part Four

Posted: August 28, 2009 by Michael Dewalt in Christopher Hitchens, Collision, Doug Wilson

This for now will be my last post on the movie coming out soon, “Collision.” I may post something after watching the video at the Desiring God National Conference which is September 25-27 of this year, and I may not. I’m not exactly sure how much more I will say after this post. For those [...]

Collision – Part Three

Posted: August 27, 2009 by Michael Dewalt in Christopher Hitchens, Collision, Doug Wilson

In the spring of 2007, atheist (better to say Theism-Hater) Christopher Hitchens and Douglas Wilson began talking about the question, “Is Christianity Good for the World?” When the articles came out, Christianity Today was the first there so that they many could soak the debate up. By 2008 the 3 city-site had became a book [...]

Collision – Part One

Posted: August 25, 2009 by Michael Dewalt in Christopher Hitchens, Collision, Doug Wilson

Collision… ? I have for some crazy reason not even heard of this until I got onto Desiring God’s website to look at their National Conference scheduled. I was told by Reformation Heritage Books that I would representing them in sales at the Desiring God National Conference, like the last 2-years. I have always enjoyed [...]

What am I Doing this Fall?

Posted: August 24, 2009 by Michael Dewalt in Masters of Theology

I started today my Th.M. at Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary. For those that read this blog and know me, you will know that I just graduated here last May, 2009 with my M.A.R. from PRTS in Theological Studies. So what am I exactly doing this year at PRTS?

Wrath to God’s Glory

Posted: August 24, 2009 by Michael Dewalt in Sundays with Spurgeon

Surely the wrath of man shall raise thee: the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain. (Psalm 76:10) Wicked men will be wrathful. Their anger we must endure as the badge of our calling, the token of our separation from them: if we were of the world, the world would love its own. Our comfort is [...]

Posted: August 22, 2009 by Michael Dewalt in Truth

I was reading yesterday for Biblical Ethics and The Decalogue courses that I am taking by Dr. James Grier online.

Not that I’d believe exactly what [...]
