First Day at T4G

I was a great first day at T4G. There is just something about 7,ooo people (mostly men) singing our hymns of praise at the top of their voices that gets you ready to be fed by the word. Mark Dever did not fail to bring that word in a powerful and thoughtful way. He talked abut how the church makes the gospel visible by its life and right loving obedience to the gospel.
That was followed by a message from R.C. Sproul where he outlined the antitheses of the gospel that he has seen and confronted in 50 years of ministry and the dangers of synthesis with those various antitheses. Obviously, the panel discussion that followed was GREAT!
After dinner at the Hard Rock Louisville, we were led in more rousing worship that brought us into a message by Dr. Mohler in which he outlined and defined 8 Trajectories Toward and Adjusted Gospel: Modern Trajectory, Post-Modern Trajectory, Moral Trajectory, Therapeutic Trajectory, Aesthetic Trajectory, Materialistic Trajectory, Pragmatic Trajectory, and Emotional Trajectory. It was very helpful for being able to talk about the dangers we all face as pastors and the dangers that our people confront on a daily basis in moving toward the theological tragedy of an adjusted gospel.
A panel discussion that included Dever, Mahaney, Mohler and John MacArthur concluded the night. With that, I find myself here, Mountain Dew in hand, reviewing my thoughts from the day for our mutual reflection.
Grace and Peace.
