Presuppositional Apologetics Anyone?

Lately I have been very busy. I am taking two online classes, remodeling our house, and two birthdays in the family, plus the holidays. Therefore, I do not have the time to blog as extensively as I would like, but I do have a little time to point you in some directions that may help you grow as a theologian and student of the Word.

I was sharing with a co-worker today that no one is truly an atheist. Romans chapter 1 demands that, at best, they have bought into their own lie. This led to a discussion which made me realize that I need to brush up on my apologetics.

On my Ipod I have a fantastic debate between Greg Bahnsen and Gordon Stein. This is a clinic for how to debate as a presuppositional apologists. I did some searching on google for the audio and it is available for free here:

Bahnsen-Stein Debate MP3's

There is a lot of other good resources on this site. I also have a few more links that will help give you an introduction to apologetics and specifically to Van Til and his presuppositional framework.

This site has a lot of audio: Apologetics Audio

John Frame's response to the Bahnsen- Stein debate: Frame-Poythress Site

Great Site with a lot of resources: Center for Reformed Theology

I would also like to point you to, what I think, is the best defense of God's sovereignty that I have heard. It combines a High view of God with a loving compassionate response to the question of God's sovereignty and natural disasters. It also deals with how Christians should view tragic events and illnesses.

It is a interview on National Public Radio with John Piper. You will not regret listening to it.

Here is the link: Tsunami Interview

These resources have greatly influenced me and I hope that they will be of great benefit to you through the power of the Word and His Spirit.

What about Freewill?

I use google reader for my RSS feeds. One of my favorite bloggers, currently, is The Jollyblogger. He writes about how the problem of free will is not just for theologians anymore. He links to a excerpt from a movie that I have inserted into this post. I am new to blogging and to this blogging software, so hopefully this works. I will post more thoughts later on this matter but wanted to get this out as soon as possible. If you want to read Jollybloggers full post go to:
