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. The title of this lecture, “No Creed but Christ?” represents, unfortunately, a widespread sentiment across the American Christian landscape. Typically, there are two types of critiques of creeds and confession—one liberal, one conservative. Keep Reading -
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 -

2010 Regional Conference Round-Up
from Karisa Schlehr Sep 23, 2010 Category: Events
Today, we are living in a post-Christian and even anti-Christian society where the holiness of God is mocked, Christians are silenced, and the gospel is largely seen as irrelevant, even in many professedly “Christian” churches. On September 17-18 in Washington, D.C., we held Ligonier Ministries' 2010 Regional Conference to address the this important topic of being a Christian in a post-Christian culture. Thabiti Anyabwile, Robert Godfrey, Albert Mohler, Burk Parsons, R.C. Sproul (via video), and R.C. Sproul Jr. provided sound teaching as to how Christians can recover a biblical understanding of the world around us and, consequently, how we can reform our lives and our spheres of influence. Blog summaries are available for each of the sessions Keep Reading -
2010 Ligonier Regional Conference - Session 8 - Robert Godfrey
from Robert Rothwell Sep 19, 2010 Category: Events
Dr. Robert W. Godfrey delivered our final conference lecture on the topic of statism. This is what he had to say on this important and timely subject. What is statism? It is the claim or exercise of the power of the state as absolute over society. Statism insists that no other entity has rights except those derived from the state. It says that the state is supreme over all things. Keep Reading -

Albert Mohler Jr., president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, explored this movement, its roots, and its impact on current culture in a lecture titled “The Disappearance of God” on Saturday afternoon at our 2010 regional conference in Washington D.C.

2010 Ligonier Regional Conference - Session 5 - Burk Parsons
from Karisa Schlehr Sep 18, 2010 Category: Events
We kicked off day two of the 2010 Regional Conference with Burk Parsons who was tasked with the topic of “The Gates of Hell.” The term “post-Christian” is not a new word. We see it throughout history and as a country we have been post-Christian for a long time. We have come to a place where many of the people who surround us not only don’t know the simple truths of what makes Christianity our faith, they don’t even understand things as basic as what a pastor is. Christianity has lost its influenced. Keep Reading -
2010 Ligonier Regional Conference - Session 4 - R.C. Sproul Jr.
from Robert Rothwell Sep 18, 2010 Category: Events
Dr. Sproul Jr. began his talk by noting how it has become a habit of his to remind the church of the character of the Devil and the nature of the war between the serpent and the people of God. The first place to start in looking at Satan’s methods and goals is Genesis 3:1, wherein we are told that “the serpent was more crafty than any other beast of the field that the LORD God had made.” Notice that the text doesn’t say that the serpent is the most powerful tempter but that he is crafty. His most potent weapon is his cunningness — that is what makes him so dangerous. Keep Reading
