Tim says: “Speaking personally, while I am not a pastor and thus was not the primary audience for this conference, I left Louisville deeply challenged. As Paul can attest, the conference gave me much to think and talk about. The Spirit moved this weekend to convict me of sin in my life and to challenge me to strive towards godliness. Simply being in the presence of so many godly men – some who were on the stage, some who were... Read more
internetmonk.com has a great post in which he responds to seeing my description of his blog when I finally plucked up the courage to add him to my blogroll the other day – something he has been encouraging me NOT to do for more than a year now! Here’s what I said: “For me, Michael’s flashes of sheer brilliance outweigh my disagreement with some of the things he says. This is a voice to listen carefully to, discard the error,... Read more
This Monday I want to share a short quote from one of the Doctor’s greatest books, Preaching and Preachers: My reason for preaching, writes the Doctor, “is that to me the work of preaching is the highest and the greatest and the most glorious calling to which anyone can ever be called. If you want something in addition to that I would say without hesitation that the most urgent need in the Christian Church is true preaching; and as it... Read more

After THAT talk at T4G, I found that this article from John Piper from a few years ago explains a bit more about what he is looking for in preaching :- “Whatever you think of the drums, the electric guitar and bass and amplification and T-shirts and platforms cluttered with wires and mikes and speakers, it is unmistakable-the dominant theme of these songs is God-the character of God, the power of God, the mercy of God, the authority of God,...

Over at Together for the Gospel, Dever reflects on the conference and then says: “People keep asking me what will come of all this. Brothers and sisters, we don’t know. Only the Lord does . . . . I don’t desire to see a new organization. I do desire to see the Lord’s work cross-fertilized – let’s drink together from the riches of Calvary. Let’s observe each other doing that as well, and so undermine our prejudices. Let’s learn from... Read more
