Blessings at Moody Pastor's Conference!

We're "on the road" making it difficult to post, but I must at least draw attention to the tremendous blessing Phyllis and I received here in Chicago yesterday. From the "Breakout" sessions on Transformational Preaching with John Piper & Mark Easley (former President of Moody Bible Institute), to the General Sessions (also by Piper) on the New Birth, to the sky-brightening singing of the Chicago Tabernacle Choir, our hearts soared with God-glorifying singing and gut-level, soul-enhancing theology. 

Let me once again (as in a previous post) recommend Piper's Finally Alive! as an exceedingly important, absolutely necessary corrective for years of misguided (if not ill-intentioned) foray into a false basis for evangelism that has contributed tremendously to an influx of many within the bounds of the church who have not been truly born-again. There's more to this term than many understand. And it is vital that we recapture it's original intent if we are to fulfill rightly the Great Commission.
