TGC 2012 Council Colloquium (Tuesday)
Every year TGC Council members meet for several days of discussion, debate, prayer, and fellowship around the gospel of Jesus Christ. This year around 100 Council members and guests are meeting on the campus of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky, and challenging one another to pursue Christ with biblical faithfulness. The agenda includes a wide variety of topics emerging from the pressing issues faced in local churches, cultures, and the church universal. Take a look at Tuesday's agenda and a few photos from Louisville. All videos recorded Tuesday evening will eventually be released to the public.

Hope these videos are available soon! We pastors need a lot of guidance on these pressing issues. Hope you can accommodate a visit to Puerto Rico very soon. We need you down here to help pastors develop healthy gospel-centered vision for their churches!
Nice chairs, boys!
Classy!
Looking forward to being able to listen to these duiscussions.
Exceedingly grateful for these dear brothers and their defense of the gospel. Let's continue to pray that God would use them for His glory!
Amen, and amen!
Will there be any audio or video available for this?
All of the panels listed under "Video Discussions" will eventually be available on our website.

Hi guys, I really would like to see the video on "Did Jesus preach the gospel?"
Yeah, I want to watch that one too. Piper and Keller really look like they're thinking hard about it.
Stay tuned, they'll be coming as soon as we can get them edited and ready to post.
At the Clarus panel discussion between Fred Zaspel and D.A. Carson,"Rest in the Gospel or Strive Unto Holiness," Carson said that when the council meets in May, they would be discussing the subject of effort in the Christian life. I am looking forward to all the discussions but especially the one of rest and effort in gospel living.
I started a small series on the subject to coincide with TGC council meetings."Effort? Yes, and No!" http://www.gospelgrace.net/2012/05/25/effort-yes-and-no-part-one/
