"I like some of the comments about Lewis on this thread. He was good, but he could have been much better if he'd gone a little deeper to discover the absolute assurance of God's promise. No inklings. 8~)"

Let's not let anyone hear what I am going to say, but you are right. However, Lewis was "seeker friendly" and writing to college students and readers of his fiction, not stiff necked university Profs. Van Til was duking it out with the modernist trash and at the same time teaching "other faithful men (women) who will be able to teach others." Sort of like (shhh, now here it comes) the Warren, Hybels, Piper argument that has been infecting this forum like a computer virus or prophylactic (that's trojan for the more spiritual among us). Have you ever noticed how hard it is to be cynical when listening to Mendelssohn. I'm either going to have to turn on some Dylan or quit posting like this for the night.

Can't go wrong with Dylan. 8~)

"Well, the howling wolf will howl tonight,
The king snake will crawl,
Trees that've stood for a thousand years
Suddenly will fall...
He could be standing next to you,
The person that you'd notice least.
I hear that sometimes
Satan comes as a man of peace."

Bob Dylan -- "Man of Peace"
