You love theology. Your "name" simply reads "Soli Deo Gloria" ... And you are in Pittsburgh, PA.

Do I know you? :P

I just happened upon some of your work and liked it. I don't think we know each other, to my memory.

Hehe, I only say that because I haven't met too many -- can I assume that you are Calvinist? -- in the Pittsburgh area.

If you don't mind my asking, where do you attend church?

I'm not going to be in Pittsburgh for much longer -- maybe a week. But it's still neat to see that there are others with good theology here. :)

Yes, I am most adamantly a Calvinist. There are a bunch of us. I go to City Reformed Presbyterian Church. We're meeting in the Petersen Event Center on Pitt's campus. I think there's only one person who isn't a Calvinist there. It's really encouraging to meet and get to know other people whom God has led to a fuller understanding of His Gospel.

I wish I had known about that sooner.

I am a Reformed Baptist, but an RPC church would have been just as well. Back when I had transportation, I visited Three Rivers Grace (a calvinistic SBC in Pittsburgh) a few times, but I just haven't had the way to get there lately. My only thing is that their worship was a little more normative than I'd have liked. (I am confessionally reformed.)

I do have a couple of friends that I used to know from a different young adults group, who were Calvinists and I think did something with another group. Did you ever happen to meet a "Dave Wolf" or "Rob Myroniuk"?

As it is, I am quite fortunately going to be returning to the greater Milwaukee area in another week. I don't know if you've ever heard of or read anything by Walter Chantry, but his son teaches a church called Christ Reformed Baptist in Hales Corners, WI (www.crbc.us) ... It is a very pleasant church, and we are very much blessed by the expository preaching. One of our deacons also used to run a reformed blog called OldTruth.com, before he had to take a hiatus from it for health reasons.

Anyway, that turned into quite a ramble. These things do excite me. :)
