Last updated on: July 6, 2018 at 10:49 am By Adrian Warnock

I have now arrived in Brighton from the United States and will be reporting shortly on my impressions of the Together on a Mission conference. In the meantime, I’d like to share reports from other blogs as they appear. The first is from andycottingham.com. Andy reports that there are 5,000 attending from 50 nations. He confirms Andrew Fountain’s impression that yesterday’s sessions were outstanding: “I could discuss the excellent teaching from Stephen van Rhyn (I used to share an office... Read more

Partying For Jesus

Last updated on: September 16, 2017 at 6:16 pm By Adrian Warnock

This is from The Resurgence “I’ve been wondering why many Christians are such boring people to be around if redemption is true. If Christ’s mission was truly accomplished and if the Kingdom of God is alive then Christians ought to be the most celebrative people on the planet throwing the best parties and social events. If the Gospel is true one would think that Christians would be the best at “getting their party on.” . . . So if the... Read more

Last updated on: February 22, 2023 at 6:22 am By Adrian Warnock

Yesterday it was a delight to see my old friends, Ian and Megan Jukes, and their three lovely kids. We went to visit a church founded by George Whitefield where he preached and is buried under the pulpit. I took loads of photos so have turned them into a slide show for you. If you want to see his burial place, it is at The Old South Church, Newburyport, Massachusetts.The Resurgence also posted a sermon by George Whitefield just recently.... Read more

Newfrontiers – A Family Of Churches Together On A Mission

Last updated on: January 5, 2020 at 7:08 pm By Adrian Warnock

I am thrilled to be able to bring you live-blogging from this year’s Together On A Mission Conference, which will run from the 10-13 July. This year the conference is fuller than it has ever been before, and will apparently be running an overflow venue. One of the strengths of Tim Challies’ live-blogging of Christian conferences is the perspective he brings to many of these conferences as a visitor. For me, TOAM is practically my second home. I have been... Read more

John Stott on the Atonement – The Conclusion

Last updated on: September 16, 2017 at 6:28 pm By Adrian Warnock

This is it. The end. My final post in this series. Of course, I am sure I will return to this subject from time to time — especially if there are other developments in the wider scene. But this really is the conclusion of my series — it is time to move on to other matters. It is only appropriate that the final quote in this prolonged series on the cross be given to that stalwart champion of penal substitution... Read more

Terry Virgo On the Results of the Cross

Last updated on: July 6, 2018 at 10:49 am By Adrian Warnock

So far I have shared quotes from Wayne Grudem, Spurgeon, Tom Schreiner, and C. J. Mahaney on the cross. Today it’s Terry Virgo’s turn: “Remember God has accepted us. The gospel of grace is a message of breathtaking freedom. It must be embraced with faith and thanksgiving. You are thoroughly accepted just as you are. Jesus Christ is your righteousness and he is never going to change. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. When you wake tomorrow, he... Read more

Tom Schreiner on the Atonement

Last updated on: June 27, 2018 at 11:05 pm By Adrian Warnock

So far we have shared quotes from Wayne Grudem and C. H. Spurgeon on the cross. Today I’d like to share a quote from Dr. Tom Schreiner, Associate Dean and Professor of New Testament at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary (Louisville, Kentucky). Incidentally, Martin Downes has just posted an interview with Dr. Schreiner. “I define penal substitution as follows: The Father, because of his love for human beings, sent his Son (who offered himself willingly and gladly) to satisfy his justice,...
