East Coast Vs. West Coast
I was listening to some radio preacher here in VA and thinking “preaching is so different out here compared to the west coast”. It was refreshing, until I realized it was John MacArthur. Isn’t he from LA?
At any rate, whenever I return to the Big Apple I see the pointed differences between East and West sides. A decade has changed me. People dress differently, even to church, think differently, work differently (you can’t get by on a single-income in metro NY). Music tastes are different. I won’t go into the nuances but one of the things I’ve noticed is even the theology – it would seem people on the east coast are more grounded, erudite, and historically educated on things theological, whether Arminian or Reformed, but especially the latter. Any West coasters beg to differ?

Yup we east coasters are just better.
elderj, i’m callin’ you out, you in the dirty south~
dirty south – woot woot!
Where’s the west side representation?
I guess i’ll have to rep
east side might have the theo
but west side’s got the depth of spirit
but what a combo the two would make – if we could bring both together somehow… like a Eugene Peterson combined with a Tim Keller / Sproul
yeah, but we’ve got the passion… it’s something about the heat down here.
