2010 Ligonier Pastors Conference - Mark Dever (VI)
from Robert Rothwell Oct 13, 2010 Category: Events
Dr. Mark Dever began our conference program on Wednesday with a lecture outlining the mandate for Christians not to avoid controversy if the gospel is at stake. This is what he had to say in his message “Here We Stand.” In July 1519, the famous Leipzig disputation between Johann Eck and Martin Luther was held in Germany. Luther had become convinced that the medieval church had been teaching some falsehoods in regards to the clarity of Scripture and other matters, and Eck took the counter position. After the debate, a written record of the exchange was sent to the theologians at the University of Paris, and they determined that Eck had won the debate. In response they also published ten theses: Keep Reading -

We closed the first day of the 2010 Pastors conference with Mark Dever moderating a round table discussion with the four conference speakers.

2010 Ligonier Pastors Conference - Mark Dever (II)
from Chris Donato Oct 12, 2010 Category: Events
What does it mean for the church to be “confessional”? This is the question Mark Dever sought to answer during his first session at the Ligonier Pastors Conference.

2010 Ligonier Pastors Conference - R.C. Sproul (I)
from Keith Mathison Oct 12, 2010 Category: Events
R.C. Sproul opened the 2010 Pastors Conference speaking on one, holy, catholic, and apostolic church. We are looking at the Nicene Creed’s description of the church as one, holy, catholic, and apostolic. A cynic might suggest that it is hard to imagine how the contemporary church could be described as such. Our church today is fragmented. There is dissention. The cynic would say that there is anything but unity, sanctity, catholicity, and apostolicity. Instead, the church is fragmented, corrupt, parochial, and modernistic. Keep Reading
