Sometimes I really wonder about the future of the Christian blogopshere. It seems that according to Phil and Centurion I have committed the crime of “trolling” for links. Now, of course, once again I think it is highly probable that these wild accusations were made tongue-in-cheek, so I am being careful not to respond with a massive “HUH?” I checked; I have never used the term ‘troll’ on this blog before, and quite frankly, I have no clue what it...

The good folks at the Together for the Gospel audio team listened to bloggers who wanted the panel discussions to be made available. They have today been made available to dowload, so do pop over there and get them!!! Read more
Paul has got as far as Jan 2004 in his quest to read ALL of my blog posts. Do pop over and either – encourage him– commiserate with him OR– tell him he’s mad and should stop before he gets committed! Actually, it’s interesting for me to be reminded of those early days blogging. So weird to realise that was more than two years ago – it has FLOWN by . . . . Read more

In last week’s final chapter of the Doctor’s exposition of Ephesians 1:13, I said that I would quote MLJ’s own experience, which occurred in the summer of 1949, and which Iain Murray refers to as one of the most remarkable [years] in Dr. Lloyd-Jones life. The following excerpt is from his biography, David Martyn-Lloyd-Jones The Fight of Faith 1939-1981, The Banner of Truth Trust, Edinburgh, The University Press, Cambridge, 1990, “Wales and the Summer of 1949, pp. 207-221. Following Murray’s... Read more

The level of interest in everything to do with the Together for the Gospel conference seems to be catching the dear brothers who organised the event slightly off-guard. As we probably all know, the panel discussions will be released shortly, they are considering video, and just because I believe in pushing my luck, I asked them if they would consider releasing a recording of the worship. It turns out that the Black Calvinist recorded one of the hymns being sung.... Read more
As always, I reserve the right to ignore any or all of your comments, but it’s time for a shake-up around here! As always, revolutions here are step-by-step rather than too radical; however, I am open to any suggestions! First things first–I am planning on changing the name. So far I have five options all, of which involve dropping the “UK Evangelical” bit from the title: Adrian’s Blog Adrian Blogs Adrian Warnock’s Blog Adrian Warnock Blogs Adrian Warnock Blogs On...

I have now listened to the mp3 of Dever’s talk. In a previous post, I included some quotes from the sermon, and Challies did a great summary post. During C.J.’s introduction, Mark Dever was credited with being the prime human agent in the formation of the friendships that made the Together for the Gospel conference possible. When I interviewed Mark Dever, his commitment to being relational was immediately apparent. In understanding the T4G phenomenon, it is vital to realise that... Read more
