I have been given the great honor of liveblogging the first ever Together for the Gospel Conference. This is a conference dedicated to one thing: the centrality of the good news of Jesus Christ.

“Mark Dever, Ligon Duncan, C.J. Mahaney, and Albert Mohler minister in diverse contexts, but they are united in this: the centrality of the gospel of Jesus Christ, preached clearly and lived faithfully. Now they are coming together in a unique conference to encourage you in the sufficiency of the gospel’s power to build your local church. Special guests John MacArthur, John Piper, and R.C. Sproul will each bring a message and join in panel discussions. Come together with these men and explore what really matters in your life, church, and ministry. Come together for the gospel.”

As you read this, I am travelling to Louisville, Kentucky to participate. As with the other conferences I have blogged, I hope to allow those who cannot attend to experience just a little bit of the atmosphere. I hope to be able to provide a synopsis of each of the sessions so that you, too, can be edified by the preaching of these men of God.

So please be sure to check in through the remainder of this week. I look forward to being able to serve you, even if only in this small way. I hope and pray that the conference will be a blessing both to those who are able to attend and those who are not.

    Did Francis Prove To Be “The Humble Pope?”

    Francis’ time as pope has come to an end and already many are attempting to define his legacy. Was he a reformer? Was he a progressive? Was he an apostate? Perspectives are wildly varied with some honoring him as the greatest pope of modern times and some dishonoring him as a disgrace to the office.

  • Will You Be a Pillar?

    How do we lead in a culture shaped by performance, individualism, and platform? Platforms to Pillars by cultural commentator Mark Sayers offers a biblical alternative to the platform mentality that dominates our society. Drawing from the ancient world, Sayers challenges Christians to become pillars—people who provide strength and support for others, who live with character…

    The Winds Blow Hardest Against the Tallest Trees

    Through the weekend had many questions about Christian leaders who fall. And I expressed that just as the winds blow hardest against the tallest trees, so temptations may press hardest against the leaders who rise the highest. Just as floods press against shallow roots, so seductive desires rise up against those whose fall would bring…
