If you read this blog, you’ve read about the Together for the Gospel conference. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, click the link and browse their website. T4G, as it’s called, is a conference that encourages pastors to build their ministries on nothing but the gospel, and to find unity with those who do the same. I went to T4G two years ago and loved it. If you are a Christian pastor or interested layman who loves the gospel and loves Christian ministry, I would encourage you to come to Louisville in April 2008 for the next conference. You don’t need a certain set of credentials, you don’t need to know the right people, you just need to come and fellowship with like-minded men.
With that introduction covered, I would like to point your attention to the above image. This hilarious picture was sent to me by the T4G strategists in a marketing campaign. For those who do not know, the above image is the high-school yearbook photograph of my employer and mentor, Southern Seminary president Dr. Albert Mohler, Jr. Before I graduate, I’ll be posting on how Dr. Mohler has affected me, so you’ll hear more about my impressions of this man of oak in days to come. For now, though, let me say that Dr. Mohler has happily filled out from his somewhat undernourished teenage years, and though he still has the mind of a nerd, he has none of the appearance. And yes, his glasses were thwarted in their attempt to swallow his face. Strong enough now not only to lift a fork, but to beat up wimpy theologians, Dr. Mohler will be a keynote speaker at T4g, and that alone is reason enough for you–whether you’re in chilly Maine, or sunny California, or you go to seminary, or you’ve never considered it–to sign up for the fellowship-faith-gospel bonanza that is Together for the Gospel.
