Desiring God National Conference
"Highlight of the night - a panel discussion lead by Justin Taylor between Tim Keller, Mark Driscoll, and John Piper (that’s the picture above). It was funny, entertaining, deep, profound, and so encouraging to my faith and ministry. My favorite part was when Justin Taylor asked the following question: 'Mark, you are all about being part of our culture: you listen to music, attend movies, go to comedy clubs. John, you don’t do any of that. Mark, How do you stay faithful? John, How do you stay relevant?' "

Live Blogging!
"Some of you blorks may know that Tim Challies is live blogging this conference. If you haven’t ever seen his blog you should go over there and just marvel at his typing speed, if nothing else.

If I see him go to the bathroom tomorrow, I’ll be sure to blog everything that happens while he’s gone. :-)"

He said, "We are shrinking back from the uniqueness of Christ and His centrality. They [the recipients of Hebrews] did it out of fear for their safety — we are doing it out of fear that we won’t be successful."
