John Piper on Baptism with the Holy Spirit

February 29, 2008

This week Terry Virgo shared a couple of interesting anecdotes about Piper, Lloyd-Jones, and the Holy Spirit. This made me think that I should restart “Piper Fridays” here on the blog. So, here is a quote from a Piper sermon that refers to something else the Doctor said about the baptism of the Spirit.

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 [...]

VIDEO – Disney’s Hollywood Studios

February 27, 2008

Steven Spielberg ought not to be afraid. With my video skills, I’m no threat to him, I know. But, here is some video we took at our favorite Disney park – previously known as MGM Studios.

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. I may duck out half way through if I can’t keep my eyes open.
Driscoll began by claiming that, statistically, the only variable that makes a difference to the life [...]

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 the will [...]

Mark Driscoll – Putting Preachers in Their Place

February 25, 2008

This is the first post in several I’ll be doing in what I call “remote blogging.” A few times when Tim Challies and others have been at conferences, I’ve shared extracts from their posts here on my blog. This time Tim is not at the Resurgence Conference on Preaching, but the Resurgence folks are offering [...]

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 know [...]

Lloyd-Jones on How to Grieve the Holy Spirit

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 ministry. He [...]
