My name is Michael Morth, my wife and I live in the Twin Cities and have been married since April 1991.
The Lord saved me out of my wicked rebellion in December of 1999 and since then I have gone though many changes in my theological understanding; we started out in an Assembly of God church where we attended for about 5 years, but then I was exposed to expository preaching and Reformation Theology from some great preachers like John Piper, John MacArthur, and R.C. Sproul. I also learned much about evangelism from the radio program “Way of the Master” with Todd Friel.
It was through faithful exposition of the Scriptures by these men that the Doctrines of Grace and the sovereignty of God in Predestination and Election came alive to me and made sense of more things in Scripture than anything else had before. Like Jonathan Edwards, when the eyes of my heart were opened to the absolute sovereignty of God over all things and especially over the salvation of man, I felt as though I had a kind of second rebirth! I have found a home in the Baptist church which is very much different from the Pentecostal roots of my Christian beginning.
I enjoy listening to sermon podcasts. Right now I subscribe to podcasts from John Piper, Pastor of Bethlehem Baptist Church in Minneapolis, MN; Tullian Tchividjian, pastor of Coral Ridge Presbyterian church in Orlando, Fl; The White Horse Inn radio broadcast; and some lecture series from Reformed Theological Seminary. I also enjoy reading God’s Word and other books. Right now I am reading through John Calvin’s “Institutes of the Christian Religion”, “Here I stand: A Life of Martin Luther” by Roland H. Bainton, and my favorite magazine, “Modern Reformation”.
