On Thursday, April 23, 2009, at Park Community Church in Chicago, IL, the Carl F. H. Henry Center for Theological Understanding of Trinity Evangelical Divinity School hosted an evening of free lectures and discussion with Dr. John Piper of Bethlehem Baptist Church and Dr. D. A. Carson of Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. Titled “The Pastor as Scholar, and the Scholar as Pastor: Reflections on Life and Ministry with John Piper and D.A. Carson”, the evening featured hour-long lectures by Drs. Piper and Carson, offering reflections of a theological and personal nature on the work of the pastor and the scholar, respectively.

I’ve been meaning to start tearing through Grudem’s magnum opus on Systematic Theology over the past few years, just haven’t found the time. I just found out that audio versions of Dr. Grudem’s lessons in his Christian Essentials class (taken from his book) are free online. This is a goldmine for someone like me who has a lot of time throughout the day for audio and little spare time for reading. I’m nerding out about this. What an amazing resource available to the church, and all for free. Unreal.
Here is the link to all of his messages:

TEN QUESTIONS TO ASK TO by Donald Whitney, author of Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life
I’ve had the privilege of attending countless conferences and other special events. Some were primarily inspirational, others were mainly instructive, and many were for the purpose of conducting business, hearing reports, and connecting with people. They usually last from half-a-day to several days in length. Afterward, however-regardless of how much I enjoyed myself or how profitable the experience seemed at the time-I often reflect upon the resources I’ve devoted to attendance and wonder if I have benefited from the conference/event as much as I could have. Having invested hours or days of my life in this way, I want to know that it’s been time well spent. To better ensure good stewardship of the opportunity, I have developed these ten questions.
TEN QUESTIONS TO DIAGNOSEby Donald Whitney

I’m looking forward to meeting some of my heroes in the faith and soaking in the beauty of the Gospel at this conference. Wondering if an official chapter of the Gospel Coalition in the Portland area has been established yet…
Conference info:
The theme of this Conference gets to the heart of the book of Second Timothy. As Paul is mentoring a young Timothy, he is communicating the great privilege of proclaiming the gospel to the world. In an age bereft of courageous leadership, declining biblical literacy, and rising cultural accommodation, a prophetic voice from the center is needed, a voice that faithfully speaks the ancient text to our contemporary context. This Conference seeks a renewal of faithful preaching that is rooted in the Scriptures and centered on the gospel.
The best of gospel-faithful ministry is not only taught, it is also caught. This was the practice of the Apostle Paul — the great missionary of the early church — who not only had much to say regarding what constitutes gospel-faithful ministry, but also had much to show of what it looked like in an individual life and in the life of the church. We see these two foci coming together harmoniously in Paul’s letter to the church in Corinth:
Therefore I urge you to imitate me. For this reason I am sending to you Timothy, my son whom I love, who is faithful in the Lord. He will remind you of my way of life in Christ Jesus, which agrees with what I teach everywhere in every church (1 Corinthians 4:16-17; cf. 11:1; Philippians 3:17).
On 21-23 April 2009, The Gospel Coalition will hold its second National Conference on the theme, “Entrusted with the Gospel: Living the Vision of Second Timothy.” During these meetings we will seek to imitate Paul’s dual practice of show and tell.
The Plenary Sessions — led by John Piper, Phil Ryken, Mark Driscoll, K. Edward Copeland, Bryan Chapell, and Ligon Duncan — will expound the book of Second Timothy. It is through these expositions that we hope to model the sort of preaching through Scripture of which the church is in need, while teaching the glories of this gospel of the blessed God that has been entrusted to the care of the church. Tim Keller and Don Carson will each give addresses that seek to situate gospel-faithful ministry in the currents of the twenty-first century, and Ajith Fernando will discuss the global challenges and priorities of gospel-faithful mission for the next Christendom. There will also be several workshops devoted to the faithful appropriation of text (Scripture) to context (contemporary issues).
While this Conference is aimed at pastors and students of pastoral ministry, all are welcome, and we encourage everyone to attend. Please join us on 21-23 April 2009 for “Entrusted with the Gospel.”
The conference will be held at the Donald E. Stephens Conference Center, 5555 N. River Road, Rosemont, Illinois 60018.
