I just returned flying home from T4G in Kentucky, and the entire conference is already online. The panel sessions are not up yet, but I would guess those require some editing. Here is a brief overview.
Ligon Duncan gave an excellent overview of how systematic theology is used throughout Scripture, primarily responding to those who would dismiss the necessity of systematizing Scripture in favor of using Scripture only as a storyline.
Thabiti Anyabwile look at the issue of racism, and helpfully uncoupled the concept of race from ethnicity. However, this was a very difficult and often slippery subject to deal with, and to get the full benefit you need to listen to the panel discussion that followed for certain clarifications.
MacArthur gave a clear and powerful look at the doctrine of total depravity, or ‘complete inability’ as he prefers to call it. He not only lays out clear doctrine from Scripture, he shows how misunderstanding this doctrine dramatically impacts the clarity of the gospel message.
Mohler examined the relentless attack on substitutionary atonement and wrestled through the arguments with us, allowing us not only to see through the issues raised, but allowing us to glimpse into his incredible mind.
R. C. Sproul’s message on the Curse Motif is, as Al Mohler described it, one of Sproul’s most powerful messages that he’s ever heard. This message was stellar. Don’t miss this one.
John Piper was also in top form with an incredibly challenging message about how we are to endure suffering for the sake of Christ. This will change the way you approach ministry.
C. J. Mahaney brought us back down to earth and the harsh realities of daily life and ministry and cleared the road for success in getting back to work. This was vintage C. J.
Listen to all the panel discussions. The panels are one of the strong points of this conference, and often the panels are more engaging and challenging than the messages they preach.
