Michael Horton And Elon Musk

               I would like to use this post to introduce the reader....most of them anyway....to a man who came on the Christian scene about forty years ago....and proceeded to take apologetics by storm.....he was that good....and still is that good. He was right in there with R. C. Sproul and John MacArthur and James Boice. When we had our Christian bookstore....just previous to 9/11....I had....(and still have it in my basement).....a top to bottom long framed document called the....Cambridge Declaration.....that was put together by those men in defense of the Gospel of Jesus Christ that was and is under attack by liberalism and then progressivism....and today by grand ideas such as transhumanism. 
               His name is Michael Horton and he today does not look or sound his age of 60 years. One of his first books had a profound influence on me....Putting The Amazing Back Into Grace....(1991)....and I'm looking forward to reading his latest....Shaman And Sage....the Roots of 'Spiritual But Not Religious.
               He was a co-host of radio program for many years called....The White Horse Inn....and it is still there....and I listened to the most recent episode just now....and that is the tie-in to why I want to recommend him to you today.
               If you would go to....whitehorseinn.org....that latest episo
de is right there.....titled....The Theology Of Elon Musk And Transhumanism.

               Here's the thing....we Christians come in all kinds of styles of personality. Some are very academic....and some very....down home on the farm. Both have their advantages....and we need both. Michael Horton is of the former. Some visitors might be a little overwhelmed....others will feel they finally found a theological home. Also....right now....they are offering a free book just for the asking....on a topic that transformed my theology thirty years ago....Law And Gospel.
