December 30, 2008

Well, here it is–my list of the top 25 Christian books of 2008.  Because of the size of the list, I will not make any annotations.  There are others, for sure, that are noteworthy, but were I to condense the best books published in 2008 to a list of 25, this is what I come [...]

David Allen, Hyper-Calvinism, and James White: The Rundown

November 30, 2008

Timelines and an organized list of events can be helpful to see how things evolve (or devolve), so I thought I would provide a play-by-play run down of the events that have transpired (and will continue to transpire) since the John 3:16 conference, and more particularly the revival of the charge of hyper-Calvinism by Dr. [...]

Steve Lemke Compilation

November 3, 2008

Nine Marks [...]

Update: Abraham just posted the links to all the video from the sessions of the conference.
With great interest, I have been following the live-blogging and commentary from the 2009 Desiring God National Conference whose theme is “The Power of God and the Wonder of God.”  I thought I provide all the links in one place [...]

2008 National Founders Conference Summary and Compilation

June 28, 2008

Summary:
I know that attempting to summarize loaded week in just a few words seems like a futile exercise, but I will attempt to do so here. In fact, I think it is quite appropriate that words should not summarize or bring closure to a conference like this. Indeed, this past week was more [...]

Stetzer’s website [...]

To date, beginning with most recent:
1. Repent of Unregenerate Church Membership? Dockery Says “Yes” [...]
