It is two weeks since the Gospel Coalition Conference in Chicago. I am only now getting a chance to post something on it.
I attended TGC with my good friend Reddit Andrews. It was a spiritually enriching time with good preaching and good fellowship. The theme of 2 Timothy was well chosen and I enjoyed working through it during the week with the various men assigned portions. Mark Driscoll probably dealt the least with the text whilst Phil Ryken and Ligon Duncan were thorough. Piper, Chappell and Copeland all brought truth through diverse personality and style which I was blessed by. CJ Mahaney's message on 1 Peter 5 and pastoral ministry was a highlight for me. Truly it is a great and glorious privilege to be a minister of the New Covenant. I also greatly benefitted from Keller and Carson's messages. Akith Fernando from Sri Lanka gave food for thought regarding suffering for the gospel.
I am encouraged by what I experienced at TGC and look forward to being involved in the future.
