True Woman (VII) (10/11/08 - 20 Comments)
Here is the liveblog from the last of the True Woman sessions. Immediately after this wrapped up, I hopped a cab and went to the airport. There were several hours before my flight, but I thought I'd find a place to hole up and get some work done. Well...it turns out there was an earlier flight as well and I just had time to get to it. So it worked out well and I got...

True Woman (V) (10/10/08 - 6 Comments)
This morning, just for one session, I'm going to try something different. This is a piece of software called CoverItLive and its made specifically for live-blogging. I thought I'd give it a shot....
True Woman Conference (IV) (10/09/08 - 16 Comments)
After John Piper finished his session, a "True Woman Profile" played on the screen. It was the story of one of the women at the conference and told of her conversion to Christ in prison. This was followed by the Getty's singing "The Power of the Cross" and "When I Survey." And then it was Nancy Leigh DeMoss' turn to speak and she took as her text Romans 11:33-36. "Oh, the depth of the riches...
True Woman Conference (III) (10/09/08 - 4 Comments)
The first session of the True Woman Conference was led by John Piper who spoke on "The Meaning of True Womanhood." He made it clear that he counts it a privilege to address the most influential people in the world (distinguishing, he said, between privilege and authority). There is massive power in this room and he does not take this as a light responsibility. This message is offered as a foundation for the True Woman...
True Woman Conference (II) (10/09/08 - 2 Comments)
And at 6:45 the conference got underway, right on time (though my brain and my computer are still one time zone ahead). After playing some instrumental numbers, including a very nice Irish reel, Keith Getty and his band led the crowd in "All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name." Immediately I noticed how different a sound there is between 6000 women and, as at Together for the Gospel, 5000 men; or maybe it's as much...
True Woman Conference (I) (10/09/08 - 2 Comments)
It somehow seemed appropriate that both the Captain and the First Officer of the flight that took me to the True Woman Conference were women. Coincidence? Maybe. Maybe not. I've often wondered if a female pilot would laugh if I said, "I'm totally comfortable with you flying the plane, but, you know, I've seen my wife's spatial sense and, well, would you mind letting a man park it?" (If it's not painfully obvious, I'm joking--don't...
True Woman (10/09/08 - 13 Comments)
Today I'm a True Woman; or I will be, at any rate. This morning, before the sun comes up, I'll be heading to Chicago to take in the True Woman Conference. This conference promises to be unique among those I've attended for the very fact that it is a conference for women (and, in case you've never realized it, I'm no woman). Of course I'm accustomed to going to conferences for which I am not...
