American Patriot’s Bible – Words Cannot Describe II

Posted On Tuesday, 18 Aug 2009 By David Westerfield. Under Christian Culture, Reviews, Theology  Tags: American Dream, American Patriot’s Bible, bible, Christian Culture, evangelicalism, Nationalism, review, Scripture  
America has a rich history rooted in the Christian faith, drawing many principles from Scripture. And while this is true, it does not lend us the conclusion that America was a "Christian nation," even at our founding. Such an assumption is absurd and presents a misguided interpretation of history and ... Read More

American Patriot’s Bible – Words Cannot Describe

Posted On Monday, 17 Aug 2009 By David Westerfield. Under Christian Culture, Reviews, Theology  Tags: American Dream, American Patriot's Bible, Christian Culture, evangelicalism, Nationalism, review, Scripture  
American Patriot's Bible: combining God's infallible Word with the idolatry of American nationalism. If there is anything that really gets my blood boiling, it is any piece of merchandise or any program or movement that holds up the idea that being an American equals being a converted, born-again Christian, something plaguing ... Read More

Posted On Friday, 19 Jun 2009 By David Westerfield. Under Christian Culture, Culture, Reviews, Theology  Tags: Penal Substitution, review, substitutionary atonement, The Shack, Trinity, William P. Young  
There are so many reviews that have done a fine job of explaining the pros and cons of this book that I don't feel I need to go into this for very long. First, I'll just say that after reading it, the picture of God's sovereignty and reasons for ordaining that ... Read More

Here we are in the North American church—conservative or liberal, evangelical or mainline, Protestant or Catholic, emergent or otherwise—cranking along just fine, thank you. So we’re busy downsizing, becoming culturally relevant, reaching out, drawing in, making disciples, managing the machinery, utilizing biblical principles, celebrating recovery, user-friendly, techno savvy, finding the ... Read More

Posted On Tuesday, 10 Mar 2009 By David Westerfield. Under Audio, Christian Culture, Personal, Reviews, Theology  Tags: Audio, Denial, Heresy, Interview, MP3, Penal Substitution, review, The Shack, William P. Young, William Young  
Interview conducted by Kendall Adams with William P.

Since When Did Sesame Street Go Ghetto?

Posted On Monday, 09 Feb 2009 By David Westerfield. Under Apologetics, Culture, Reviews, Theology  Tags: children's education, Christian review, review, secularism, secularization, sesame street, worldview  
I used to love this show growing up. It was very influential in my early developmental years. I loved all the characters and the songs and it used to be a defining time during the weekdays when I knew my dad was coming home from work. Needless to say, I ... Read More

With permission, this is an email I received from a co-worker named Nathan Abbott, who sent me a quick run down of the improvements and drawbacks to Windows 7 Beta after testing it this morning.

Updated 4/16/2009: Since I originally wrote this, I have become less leery of what the campaign is trying to do. My church is one of the churches to contact and we preach the Gospel. So, all that to say that though I still have some legitimate concerns concerning methodology, I'm not ... Read More

Thoughts on Piper’s Book, The Future of Justification – A Partial Review

Posted On Tuesday, 02 Dec 2008 By David Westerfield. Under Apologetics, Reviews, Theology  Tags: Future of Justification, John Piper, n.t. wright, review  
In the past, just doing a cursory reading of some of N.T. Wright's statements on justification, I thought that I could at least grasp a basic concept of his understanding of this centrally important piece of the Gospel message. Then I picked up Piper's book. Now I'm even more confused ... Read More
