Fall

I think that fall has to be the absolute greatest season of the year.  How I love the cool weather, red leaves, and listening to more Andrew Peterson.

Deuteronomy 6:11-12

'and when you eat and are full, then take care lest you forget the Lord'

Have you ever been hungry before? Not the kind of hungry that you experience between meals, but the kind of hunger that doesn't know where your next meal is coming from? 

I know I have never experienced this hunger, so what are some ways that we as people who are 'full' can 'take care lest we forget the Lord'?

Isn't it interesting that our tendency as people is to forget the Lord when we are 'full'? Or to say it a different way, that our tendency as people is to forget the Lord when things are going well for us? Why is this?

Thoughts?

DG National Conference 2008!

Daryl-Ann and myself along with our close friend Nick Langford just returned from an enriching trip to Minneapolis, Minnesota. Why did we go there you may ask? We went there because John Piper's ministry, Desiring God, puts on two conferences a year and since we are trying to leave the country it seemed like this would be our last chance for a while to go. I thank God for Gospel-centered, Christ-exalting teachers. If it wasn't for the grace of God working through a few of these faithful spiritual giants I would still be living a Logan-centered, self-righteous life. 

The conference theme this year was The Power of Words and the Wonder of God, and we explored the power of the tongue and how the action of speaking related directly to the God who speaks. The conference was opened with a tremendous exposition of James 3:1-12, followed by sermons on the place that singing has in our lives, how sharp or how biting our words should be for the glory of God, the place of telling stories as a mechanism of communicating truth, a sermon on taming the tongue as a battle existing in the heart, and finally what is the place of eloquence in our sharing of the Gospel with all mankind. 

Full video and audio are available for free for those of you who are interested. 

I especially recommend to you the talks done by Ferguson (rich), Driscoll (hilarious and profound), Tripp (convicting), and Piper (insightful and provocative).

Below are some of the limited photos we took while we were there.

The botanical photos were pictures we took at our three hour visit to The Minnesota University Landscape Arboretum. Sorry we didn't take many pictures. We had good intentions!
