Greg Gilbert on 'God Exposed'
Greg Gilbert offers his thoughts on last week's God Exposed conference at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary (see earlier post). He said this about C.J. Mahaney's contribution:
C.J. Mahaney's talk was, I thought, absolutely extraordinary. He spoke to us from 1 Timothy and Paul's charge to Timothy to preach the word. What was so extraordinary about it--and what I have found encouraging and challenging about C.J.'s preaching every time I have heard it--is his deep and profound understanding of his own heart, and therefore of others' hearts as well. C.J.'s sermons are typically filled with observations about the way sin works, how it begets other sins, and what thoughts and glorious truths of the gospel can be used to cut the root of sin when you've found it. His preaching makes me want to meditate more deeply.
Speaking of C.J. Mahaney, go here to listen or watch his teaching on "The Pastor's Charge" at The Gospel Coalition 2009 National Conference.
