Yesterday, in the second part of my interview with John Piper, he talked about passionate preaching. Today, John talks about prayer and Bible study, and in particular, his personal “rhythm” for this important discipline. The video of this part of the interview can be seen here. ************************* AdrianSo, what you’ve described — I suspect there may be many preachers out there saying, “Okay, I get what you’re saying, but how do I get to that place?” You mentioned prayer. I... Read more
Yesterday we began sharing the transcript of my interview with John Piper at New Word Alive. Today we continue with John Piper talking about passionate preaching. The video of today’s segment can be seen here. AdrianPeople do talk about you, John, as having a real sort of passion about you. It’s almost like a zeal, I guess. In fact, particularly when you’re preaching, I certainly experience that, having actually only heard you for the first time in the flesh last... Read more
Yesterday was Friday and therefore it was the day that we usually turn to Piper. I have not forgotten that tradition, nor, incidentally, have I forgotten Lloyd-Jones Monday—it’s just that there has been a lot of other material to get out there, and I haven’t wanted to do more than a post a day at the moment. I actually have another project which I’m currently working on, and which I plan on telling you about in a few weeks or... Read more
This is the second part of a two-part interview with Don Carson, which began yesterday. That segment can be read here. I previously shared the video of this interview here. ************************* AdrianSo obviously from your own story, and also in your current role, you must have seen lots of people come through that path. Do you have any thoughts about how the Church can best develop its future leaders, or how, indeed, those people who might be beginning to feel... Read more
I had the great privilege of talking to Don Carson in April at the New Word Alive Conference, when this interview was recorded. I have already shared the video of the interview here. ************************* AdrianHi! I’m Adrian Warnock. I blog at http://adrianwarnock.com/. and I’m also privileged to serve as part of the leadership team of Jubilee Church in London. I’m here at New Word Alive, together with Don Carson, who has kindly agreed to answer a few of my questions.... Read more
I haven’t yet mentioned online the ESV Study Bible which Wayne Grudem and Justin Taylor, among others, have been working on furiously for what must seem to them to be an eternity. There is a whole website devoted to it where you can download samples of the work that will make you impatient for October when this will be shipped. This looks to me to be the study Bible for the 21st century. Laid out in a visually attractive way... Read more
In connection with a post I wrote last week entitled—Has Wayne Grudem Been the Victim of Internet Pirates?—I can now confirm that the website offering a free electronic copy of his Systematic Theology is indeed theft. Many bloggers were taken in by this scam. Although I was always suspicious of the site because of its numbers-only URL, I can see how easily bloggers could have innocently passed along such a link. Most have already removed their links. If you are... Read more
Here are some notes from the sermon I preached this past Sunday at Jubilee Church in Enfield Cineworld. You can download the audio or listen to it online in the following player: I began by sharing the story of a mother who was diagnosed with terminal cancer and refused the abortion she was offered in order to give the gift of life to her daughter. She told her husband, “If I am going to die, my baby is going to... Read more
This was shown at the New Word Alive conference earlier this year. I have to say that it is one of my favorite passages of Scripture in the whole Bible. This Sunday, why not just take in these glorious words in a fresh format. Read more
