Building Bridges


The last few days for me have been absolutely exhausting but such a blessing. I've been attending the Building Bridges- Southern Baptists and Calvinism conference in Ridgecrest, NC. I was so happy that my friend Mark from Atlanta was able to join me. In order to save some $$, we decided to drive back to my home in Johnson City, TN every evening. This ended up being about an 1-1/2 hour drive each way. Overall, I think the conference was very helpful in uniting Southern Baptists with different theological views. My favorite speech's/sermons were given by Jeff Noblit, Nathan Finn, Tom Ascol, and Daniel Akin. I was really disappointed that Voddie Baucham couldn't make it, but he was replaced by Don Whitney (whom I'm sure was good but I left to go home early because I wasn't feeling to well). You can listen to the conference messages here.

I've spoken with Tom Ascol recently and Dr. Tom Nettles, whom you didn't mention. :) Anyway, my wife reads your wife's blog and I wanted to give you a chance to enter my drawing for Tim Challies' new book "The Discipline of Spiritual Discernment". Please look over my blog entry and see if you'd like to enter. http://thereformedbaptistthinker.blogspot.com/2007/12/africa-center-for-apologetics-research.html

Yes, Jeremy. I know who he is. John, I'm sorry for not mentioning Dr. Nettles. I did meet him and introduce myself to him though.
