Carl Trueman on the Nature of ‘Celebrity’ and the Church

Carl Trueman has posted some very insightful thoughts on the nature of 'celebrity' in culture generally and its impact on the church specifically. He had a good bit of push back while making many good points. I've included Thabiti Anyabwile's push back. As I find them I am posting them ... Read More

Things That Make You Go, “Ouch”

Posted On Friday, 03 Feb 2012 By David Westerfield. Under Theology  Tags: Discourse, Elephant Room, ER2, Joe Holland, Ligonier, Nathan Bingham, pride, T.D. Jakes, Theology  
It started with a friend calling me out on being too wrapped up in the whole ER2 thing, seeing as how I'm on the sidelines anyway (my own observation). Point taken, though I'd be lying if I said I wasn't slightly put off for a while, in my pride. Then ... Read More

The Fallout

Posted On Monday, 30 Jan 2012 By David Westerfield. Under Theology  Tags: Denny Burk, Elephant Room, James MacDonald, phil johnson, T.D. Jakes, Test, The Convergence, Young Restless Reformed, YRR  
A commenter named Dan McGhee at Denny Burk's blog, coming from The Convergence, made a good insight, which I have noticed myself among pastors my age in their commentary on this whole ordeal (read below). I'm in the minority on the position I've taken with others my age in case you're ... Read More

What Was the Point of the Elephant Room Forum? – Phil Johnson and Todd Friel

Posted On Friday, 27 Jan 2012 By David Westerfield. Under Theology, Video  Tags: Elephant Room, phil johnson, Todd Friel, Video  
Phil Johnson was right on in his predictions, that much is for sure. On the other side though, Phil also addresses hyper-seperationism and those taking upon themselves discernment ministry unwisely to a unproductive and in many cases destructive degree. In this, many have a proper critique of us who critique, and ... Read More

On Proper Discourse

Posted On Friday, 27 Jan 2012 By David Westerfield. Under Theology  Tags: debate, Discourse, doctrine, Elephant Room, James MacDonald, Modalism, T.D. Jakes, Theology, Trinitarian, Trinity  
I'm absolutely all for having "conversations" with those outside orthodoxy. But to have fellow "orthodoxians" castigate people who have serious theological questions downgrades the very discourse that would bring light and truth, the very truth that leads to Christ. The church should be an example of proper discourse (like the ... Read More

A Question for T.D. Jakes

Posted On Thursday, 26 Jan 2012 By David Westerfield. Under Theology  Tags: 2, Elephant Room, James MacDonald, Oneness Pentecostalism, T.D. Jakes  
After reading a portion of T.D. Jakes' responses to questions regarding his views on the Trinity on the Elephant Room 2, I'm not so convinced we Trinitarians are on the same page with him as so many are readily assuming. He says he assents to, "One God, Three Persons," as ... Read More
