Challies has done us a great service live blogging the Desiring God conference. Two quotes stick out to my mind: John Piper said “‘Suffering is no respector of persons. You cannot look to Christ on the cross and believe that you will be spared.'”
The second was Tim’s thoughts on John Piper–
I was almost surprised to see what an experience it is to sit under one of those “only a few every generation” type of preachers. When Piper preaches he seems to do little more than bridge one Bible verse to the next, building to a deeply biblical conclusion. With some preachers you begin to feel that they could get along just fine without the Bible, but with Piper you feel that if he didn’t have the Bible he’d have nothing to say. It is easy to see the Spirit moving in John as he preaches. He begins slowly, but builds in forcefulness and excitement with every passing minute. His passion for God and his passion for preaching must be obvious to all who sit under him.
