If I could I would sit at my computer for the rest of the evening and watch these key-note messages live on-line. I felt they were very good for me to hear, particularly Piper's, which seemed especially targeted to young, timid pastors who are discouraged by the difficulty and hardship of gospel ministry.
"If you are in the ministry for an easy, secure, comfortable...life, get out of the ministry! Its a hard road to follow Jesus."I must do what it takes to keep faning the white-hot flame of the gift of God, which is the unashamed courage to speak openly of Christ and willingly suffer for the gospel. Doing what it takes means keep listening to and receiving the Word of God which is God's means of grace to me as a pastor.
"I commend you to God and to the Word of His grace which is able to build you up..." (Acts 20:32)
