12/9/2023 0 Comments G3 conference 2019 dvf![]() It was a blessing to see her breakout sessions full of younger women who want that kind of biblical teaching and example from a Titus 2 woman. We need far more mature sisters like that to look up to. ![]() She looks and acts like your average, older, wiser sister at church. She doesn’t have the perfect figure or the trendiest clothes. ![]() She’s older, mature, and sedate, yet still fun to be around. Unlike so many of today’s “divangelistas” Martha is not a young, silly, hyper Barbie doll. He is passionate about preaching and the Scriptures to such an extent you begin to sense that, if he could, he’d grab you by the shoulders and physically stuff you with Scripture and a proper understanding of it. Some essentials from home: king cake and crawfish :0) Justin’s a Louisiana expat in the Northwest, so I brought him What a joy to see Christians getting informed so they can protect themselves and their churches! I have recommended Justin here and have linked to several of his resources. Justin taught two breakout sessions on the New Apostolic Reformation, and I am overjoyed to report to you that there was standing room only (and there were many standing) for both sessions. Calm, kind, graceful, knowledgeable, and with a quick wit, Justin cares deeply about sound doctrine and calling out false teachers because he has a heart for people to be saved and know the truth of the gospel. If you’ve ever wondered what biblical meekness looks like, you need to get to know Justin Peters. David reminded me of older, small church pastors I have known who are so good at loving and caring for their sheep. Due to degenerative muscular atrophy, David uses a wheelchair and had to memorize his entire sermon including the lengthy Scripture passages he cited, which was very encouraging to me for my own Scripture memory. ![]() Kindness and grace personified, David has a way about him of speaking hard truths in gentleness. Tim’s is one of the handful of blogs I follow regularly. He not only serves his church well, but is intent on learning from his church in order to serve it better. Tim is someone who has figured out his ministry context and is flourishing in it. I’ve previously recommended Josh here and have had the pleasure of linking to many of his materials. He is genuine and humble, and his greatest concern is that His people know and serve God through their local church. Josh BuiceĪ superb example to other pastors, Josh has the heart of a shepherd and a servant. “ I’m not really a resource,” I said, “I point people to others who are good resources.” So, in keeping with pointing you to good resources, I’d like to share a little about some of the pastors and teachers I sat under last weekend – not so much about what they taught, but more about how God uniquely crafted and fit each of them into the Body to minister to their local churches, and the church at large, in their own special way. I remarked to a friend that it felt strange to me when readers approached me during the conference to thank me for being a good resource for them. Some of the wonderful brothers and sisters I got to hear from: The pics are ones I took with my friend’s phone on drive in and the walk over to the venue.A week ago today, I was drinking from the fire hose of good teaching and good fellowship at the 2018 G3 Conference: Knowing God – A Biblical Understanding of Discipleship. I not only had the blessing of being able to hear many of my heroes in the faith speak for the first time in person, but I also had the joy of meeting numerous social media friends – finally! – face to face. I don’t have photos of people attending because I forgot my camera (can you BELIEVE it?!). Here are scenes from Atlanta, a beautiful city where the conference is held, with some quotes from the speakers interspersed. So was his announcement of an upcoming 5-min family devotional for 4-9 year olds based on Genesis. His deep dive into our marriage with Him in eternity, where we will never shift our gaze from Him again, was terrific. I’ve already benefited from the preaching, having been inspired by Joel Beeke’s preaching topic of our union in Heaven with Christ. No fluff, no themes, simply three days of firehose theology on Christ from high-end, preachers who have preached and taught for decades without swerving and who have o moral or theological blot. Top-flight speakers with a clean track record theologically and morally are presenting on the topic of Christ. The lineup of speakers is unlike any other I’ve even seen, even rivaling the stellar lineup the Shepherd’s Conference held in California at John MacArthur’s Grace Community Church. This year almost 6500 people are attending, from all 50 states and several countries. It has grown to be one of the largest Christian evangelical conferences in the world. It was founded by Josh Buice (pronounced Bice rhymes with nice) pastor of Pray’s Mill Baptist Church in Georgia. I am currently attending the national G3 Conference.
