NWA08 – Don Carson on 1 John, Part 3

April 10, 2008

I will share slightly briefer notes than usual on this morning’s talk—my fingers are getting tired!

April 9, 2008

UPDATEDesiring God has now made the audio of this sermon available for free online. Once again, Piper prayed and acknowledged his sense of unworthiness.

NWA08 – Remembering What Really Matters

April 9, 2008

Imagine my delight to read this post on my darling wife’s blog. It was very kind, slightly cheeky, and brought real joy to my heart. It is easy to feel disconnected from the real world while at a conference. But just in case I needed a reminder of the fact that my real delight is [...]

April 9, 2008

Don Carson began by talking about the many ways in which the love of God is spoken about in the Bible. We are both always loved by God and commanded to keep ourselves in the love of God. We must not over-emphasize either of these. The Bible speaks about the love of God being general [...]

NWA08 – Mike Ovey on Humanity

April 8, 2008

Mike Ovey is the new principal of Oak Hill Theological College. His seminar was billed as one that would be more “stretching,” which drew me in like a moth to light. New Word Alive certainly seemed to be familiar with substantial and weighty teaching, which is very encouraging to see. We began by being asked [...]

NWA08 – Video On The Road to Pwllheli in North Wales

April 7, 2008

Lambs, snow, mountains, and streams. It sure beats sitting nose-to-bumper in London traffic! This was a truly awesome journey, which I made to the accompaniment of Handel’s Messiah. Somehow the music seemed suitably grand and majestic for the scenery. Amazingly, I had my first sighting of sheep at the very same moment that “Behold the [...]
