Tuesday January 31, 2006

Conference: Justin Taylor has posted the topics and list of speakers for this year’s Desiring God National Conference. I am planning on liveblogging the event again this year.

Theology: Randy Alcorn has decided to weigh in on the whole End of the Spear controversy. He has sought to bring biblical reconciliation between the parties.

Review: Mike went to see The End of the Spear and shares some thoughts about it. “I will say that it was not a bad movie…[but] there is something missing from the story in this movie: ‘Heart’.”

Interview: Adrian Warnock recently interviewed Mark Dever. I have not yet had time to read the interview so have no commentary for you!

Re: the DG conference.

A few friends and I discussed this line up of speakers last night. I know I’m not the only one that finds something just a bit odd about the lineup of speakers.

Driscoll and Carson? On the same conference ticket?

I don’t know… something just doesn’t sit well here. But, I guess this is becoming more and more the “norm”.

Just my 2 cents.

Thansk for linking to Justin’s site on the announcement for this Fall. I look forward to this time together. At present, I’m attending the Bethlehem Conference for Pastors and blogging some of the highlights on my site (www.areformedfreechurchpastor.blogspot.com) in case you’re insterested.

Carla, do you think that perhaps Driscoll’s attitude about the EC has moderated somewhat? After he pilloried McLaren last week, I don’t think he’ll be an EC golden boy for very long…

At any rate, barring unforseen circumstances, I’ll be attending the DG conference this year. I wouldn’t miss seeing Carson and Driscoll under the same roof! :-)

That’s a good question Bill. It seems to me what a man calls himself doesn’t really matter much these days, it’s what he teaches & preaches that counts.

So consider me undecided, on various levels, and with more than one speaker at this year’s DG conference. More on that later, Lord willing.
