In the opening address of the Gospel Coalition's National Conference Tim Keller made reference to the 17th century Puritan David Clarkson's sermon "Soul Idolatry Excludes Men Out of Heaven." It is worth your reading... David Clarkson (1621-1686) "You can be sure that no immoral, impure, or covetous...

Tim Keller's opening session was quite good. His text was Acts 19:23ff. Keller is particularly good at teasing out the contemporary implications of the biblical text.

I am excited about a number of rappers who are writing some seriously good lyrics. Who would have thought that we would see rap that is grounded in Scripture and influenced by the great Reformers? Good stuff.

Apr 18, 2009
‘This is that mystery which is rich in divine grace to sinners: wherein by a wonderful exchange our sins are no longer ours but Christ’s: and the righteousness of Christ not Christ’s but ours. He has emptied himself of his righteousness that he might clothe us with it, and fill us with it: and he...
