Webster’s defines a lapdog as a, 1.) small dog that may be held in the lap, and 2.) a servile dependent or follower. As I think of the wayward pundits of postmodernism I can’t help but have the image of lapdogs in my mind. Anybody that has seen a lapdog knows they are usually fuzzy, [...]

Andy Parker Explains How The TRUE Christian Should Respond to Postmodernism
Posted: January 2, 2008 by Michael Dewalt in Andy Parker, Emergent Church, Postmodernism, The Lapdogs of SatanWhen Jesus prayed the beautiful high priestly prayer to His Father in heaven He asked his Father to sanctify His disciples in the truth. He then clarifies for us that the Word of God is truth (John 17:14-19). Not only did Jesus presuppose that there was absolute truth, but He also presupposed that the pages [...]
Andy Parker giving his view of a "Postmodern Christian?"
Posted: December 27, 2007 by Michael Dewalt in Andy Parker, Emergent Church, Postmodernism, The Lapdogs of SatanAleksander Solzhenitsyn once said, “One word of truth outweighs the entire world.” I think it is more fitting to say, the One who is truth outweighs the entire world. By restating this we can see that all truth has a source. Thus, any attempt to deconstruct the written word, and personalize truth is nothing more [...]
Andy Parker explains "What is Postmodernism?"
Posted: December 26, 2007 by Michael Dewalt in Andy Parker, Emergent Church, Postmodernism, The Lapdogs of SatanWhat is Postmodernism? In order to determine what exactly postmodernism is there are a few preliminary statements that must be made before we can begin. First, by its nature postmodernism is a movement that is by no means uniform. In it’s intellectual formation there are four primary strands. In their book, Varieties of Postmodern Theology, [...]
The Introduction to Andy Parker’s article: The Lapdogs of Satan
Posted: December 24, 2007 by Michael Dewalt in Andy Parker, Emergent Church, Postmodernism, The Lapdogs of SatanIntroduction Truth is a concept that has always plagued the mind of fallen man, and modern man is no exception. As the Lord God Almighty stood before the authorities of this world, Pilate asked Jesus if He was a king. Jesus responded by saying, “You say rightly that I am a king. For this cause [...]
HE IS THERE AND HE IS NOT SILENT: Part Six
Posted: November 16, 2007 by Michael Dewalt in Andy Parker, Theology ProperConclusion God is there and He is not silent. The very existence of man presupposes God, and there is no escape from, and there is no chance of man being autonomous. The recent trend of heretics is nothing new. Ever since the Fall of mankind in Paradise Satan has been attacking man the same way. [...]
HE IS THERE AND HE IS NOT SILENT: Part Five
Posted: November 16, 2007 by Michael Dewalt in Andy Parker, Theology ProperApplication in Evangelism and Apologetics Understanding the authority and self-revelatory character of God as well as understanding the effects of sin on man is absolutely critical with respect to the unregenerate. We know that God is there and He is not silent. Man is, because God first spoke. When man was sinless God the Son [...]
HE IS THERE AND HE IS NOT SILENT: Part Four
Posted: November 15, 2007 by Michael Dewalt in Andy Parker, Theology ProperThe Effects of Sin When God created man he was created in a state of creaturely perfection. This does not mean that man had exhaustive knowledge. Man was created perfect in God’s good creation, but this does not imply an unchangeable creation. If man used his capacities properly he would grow in creaturely perfection by [...]
HE IS THERE AND HE IS NOT SILENT: Part Three
Posted: November 14, 2007 by Michael Dewalt in Andy Parker, Theology ProperAs Cornelius Van Til brilliantly pointed out all knowledge is derivative. Thus, in order for man to know anything it necessitates God. Without God man must have exhaustive knowledge within himself. Van Til goes on to write, “If one does not make human knowledge wholly dependant upon the original self-knowledge and consequent revelation of God [...]

Schaeffer’s book bearing the same title. In this wonderful work Schaeffer came up with the title in response to the philosopher, Ludwig Wittgenstein’s work. Wittgenstein basically [...]
