Band of Bloggers 2010
Thanks to the tireless work of Tim Brister, there will be 4th meeting of the “Band of Bloggers” in conjunction with the 2010 Together for the Gospel Conference in Louisville, Kentucky.
Two years ago, I attended Band of Bloggers and enjoyed meeting many other writers who seek to be G0d-honoring and gospel-promoting in their blogging efforts. If you are going to this year’s T4G, I hope you will make plans to be at the Band of Bloggers luncheon.
The theme for this year’s meeting is “Internet Idolatry and Gospel Fidelity.” Tim writes:
With the advent of new media and the increasing influence of technology on our lives, it is important to address the relationship of the gospel to technology, especially the areas where we are tempted with idolatrous desire (power, identity, influence, acceptance, control, etc.). While the internet, with all of its platforms (such as blogging, Facebook, Twitter, etc.) can be a powerful tool to leverage our lives for the gospel impact, we want to examine our hearts bring to light the various ways in which the idol factory of our hearts challenges and subverts the very gospel which we long to embrace.
I will be joining Justin Taylor, Jon McIntosh and Jared Wilson for the panel discussion, and I look forward to the conversation and learning from these other men. Everyone who attends will receive a number of free books.
