John Piper on Baptism with the Holy Spirit

So, here is a quote from a Piper sermon that refers to something else the Doctor said about the baptism of the Spirit. Back [...]

Book Both "Together" Conferences NOW

February 28, 2008

I can’t offer two conferences for the price of one, but I can—in one post—discuss two conferences which, for all the similarities of their names, do have some important differences. For a start, they are on opposite sides of the Atlantic, so booking into the wrong one would be a significant logistical headache! I am [...]

Mark Driscoll on Qualifications of a Church Leader

February 27, 2008

I had planned on an early night tonight! However, despite my best intentions, this session looks like it will keep me up late once more tonight.

C. J. Mahaney – Pastoral Character and Loving People

February 26, 2008

Well, sleep or a sermon by C.J.? Tough choice, huh? You can see from this that the C.J. talk won that battle in the Warnock house. Listening to both Driscoll and Mahaney “live” on the same day has to be every preacher’s dream! C.J. read from the opening of 1 Corinthians 1: “Paul, called by [...]

VIDEO – Disney’s Epcot

February 25, 2008

I’m still struggling with the transition to real life and the UK time zone. Two-week holidays seem to disorientate me a bit, but I’m certainly not expecting any sympathy, nor do I deserve any! I will stop annoying you with details of our amazing time soon. But at least as I share this video, you [...]

February 23, 2008

Today I thought I would share a very provocative quote from the good Doctor. I would be very interested in my readers’ thoughts on this passage. If you have a blog, feel free to quote this, link to it, and tell us what you think. If you don’t have one, and have some thoughts you’d [...]

When is a Call to Ministry the Same as a Prophecy?

February 20, 2008

UPDATEYou may be surprised to see that another reformed charismatic, C. J. Mahaney, has responded to Mark Dever and, like me, stresses his agreement with Mark’s post, and also lists some helpful resources to review. *************** A few days back, Al Mohler wrote about the need for a subjective sense of God propelling one into [...]

We’re home again! The reunion was sweet, although the three of us are rather tired. I worked today, while both Henry and Tamasin spent some time sleeping. Unfortunately, none of us slept a wink on the plane! This was the longest I’ve been away from my dear wife, and the longest I have been in [...]

Magic Kingdom, Typhoon Lagoon, and Downtown Disney

February 18, 2008

On Thursday of last week we went to Magic Kingdom and then to Downtown Disney. Magic Kingdom was the first theme park. It’s amazing in its architecture and totally unique. But to be honest, we felt it was showing its age a little. It IS a magical world. It IS an amazing sight. But on [...]
