The Four Holy Gospels At LIBERATE 2012
The inaugural LIBERATE Conference is 10 days away. I hope you’re coming. If you weren’t planning to, it’s not too late. Register today.
The message of LIBERATE is clear: the Gospel of grace is indeed good news. Because everything we need we already have in the person and work of Christ, we are truly free.
So, from February 23-25 at Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida we will explore the theological and practical depths of God’s scandalous grace in the gospel. We want this yearly conference to become a catalytic platform for serious thinking about “a more radical gospel.”
In addition to our many exhibitors and speakers (Michael Horton, Paul Tripp, Elyse Fitzpatrick, Scotty Smith, Darrin Patrick, David Zahl, Rod Rosenbladt, Doug Sauder, and myself), Scott Anderson (Executive Director of Desiring God) will be emceeing, Mark Miller (Director of Music at Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church) will be leading us in music, The White Horse Inn will be doing a live taping, and we will have a huge and well-resourced bookstore.
But that’s not all…
I am super excited to announce a last minute addition.
For over twenty-five years New York-based artist Makoto Fujimura has fleshed out the message of freedom through art. He is one of the most prominent and influential Christians in culture, exhibiting his abstract paintings in museums and galleries throughout the world. As a Presidential appointee to the National Council on the Arts (2003-2009), he served as an advisor on public policy on art and culture. And for many years he has been deeply involved at Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Manhattan.
Last year Crossway Publishing celebrated the 400th anniversary of the King James Version of the Bible with the release of The Four Holy Gospels, a deluxe edition which features Fujimura’s work.
I am pleased to announce that Fujimura, in support of LIBERATE, has provided us with a selection of original pages from The Four Holy Gospels to be on view during the conference. I can’t imagine a better example of Gospel freedom and creativity than these works by this artist.
Thank you, Mako.
One more reason to join us for LIBERATE.
Whoever you are, we want you here. We’ve intentionally made it as affordable as we can so that finances won’t be an obstacle. We don’t want anything getting in the way of you being able to come. Plus, there’s no place warmer and sunnier during February than Fort Lauderdale!
See you soon…
