DAY THREE
Our morning session on Thursday began with a potent message from John Piper exalting Christ as the true (and only) prize of faith. C. J. closed out the session with a warm and heart-felt call for pastors to guard our hearts as we engage in day-to-day ministry. Without a doubt, this proved to be the single most impacting conference I have ever attended.
The worship, led by Bob Kauflin, was simply outstanding. 5,000 voices sang nothing but the classic hymns of the faith (a few were redone musically)--and did so with passion, power, and enthusiasm. I was deeply moved when an auditorium of voices broke out in spontaneous praise, clapping, and shouts of joy when the lyrics referenced Christ's victory on the cross and other Christ-exalting moments.
Best T4G-Day 3 Quote: A radical willingness to suffer and perish is the only form of authentic ministry (John Piper).

I think there were 3 or 4 more, but I caught my wife going through my bags this morning before I had a chance to get the books to the office. She admitted taking a few, but won't tell me which ones until she is finished reading them (she mumbled something about me being overly possessive about my books. I disagree, but did inform the police of her theft).

I counted a total of 25 before I boxed them up. Tell your wife she is holding out on you...
