Sources close to the organisers of the Together for the Gospel Conference have exclusively revealed to me the following juicy pieces of information: 1. The affirmation document (think Statement of Faith) will be posted on the website, probably within a week. 2. At the moment there is NO PLAN to make video available, but as they did record it, they are willing if demand is there to consider producing it at a later date. 3. There is also no current...

Light Along the Journey has quotes from John MacArthur in the final panel discussion panel at the Together for the Gospel Conference today. These are just my choices; there are several more over at his blog: I don’t think we need to bring the Bible in modern times, we need to take people back to Bible times, and then to the applicational aspect of the text. You can stay with the text. I don’t spend a lot of time studying... Read more
Reformation Theology has a stack of quotes, some of which I have seen elsewhere. Here is a great one from Duncan: ” ‘The most insignificant sin that has ever been committed would ruin the entire cosmos, for it would mar the perfection that God created to reflect His glory. We steal God’s glory by every sin. We do not grasp the weight of our sin. Until we can bring home the ugliness of sin, Satan has another weapon in his... Read more
I guess that the T4G organisers would be delighted with this assessment by Fideo-O of the conference: “I have attended more than a hundred conferences in my twenty years of ministry. I directed a few conferences over the years as well. I know the burden of knowing and communicating a conference vision/theme, of organizing the speakers, and of serving the attendees.With that said, Together for the Gospel ranks as one of the best conferences I have ever attended. It literally... Read more
The light along the journey blog: has some great quotes which capture something more of the atmosphere of John Piper’s sermon (see also Challies summary) which sounds like it was the highlight of the whole Together for the Gospel conference. The blogger begins by admitting “I had to keep wiping away tears.” He then says, “At the risk of being melodramatic, I would encourage you, I would beg you, to order an MP3 of this message when it later becomes...

Fide-O sums up in a nutshell what conferences should be like – our newfrontiers conference is JUST like this- “So far here is my summary of T4G. The conference is one of the most unique conferences that I have ever attended in that it seems less like a conference and more like a big reunion. Granted most of the attendees do not know each other personally, but it feels like we are all distant cousins. You sense a connection, a... Read more
andreas04: is clearly as fast a typist as Tim – he shares some fantastic quotes from the panel discussion – I have nicked a load of them here, but there are more over at his place as well! These quotes are just amazing! “We can get a problem when we use terms from the Bible as jargon: We say saved salvation, but the Bible uses every tense (past, present, future) of the Greek word, so salvation applies to all of...

My challenge, on reading Tim’s Panel Discussion post, is to see who will be the first to bring me in a comment box or blog post with the full text of the Statement of Faith that the four guys chatted through in today’s panel discussion . . . . The prize? Oh, I don’t know . . . just the kudos of being first! Read more

In my previous post in this series on 1 Cor 12, I blogged about the gift of faith. Actually, these spiritual gifts do in fact overlap, and I want to give you a good example of that with regards to the gifts of healing. I suspect I will need to spend more than one post on healing, but what I want to speak about today is how healings and faith are obviously entwined. One of the strange aspects of the... Read more
