Desiring God 2009 Conference for Pastors

People are only saved by hearing the story of Jesus' death and resurrection, and it is the pastor's calling to tell this story.

Join us at the Desiring God Conference for Pastors this February to consider evangelism with John Piper, Mark Dever, Matt Chandler, and Michael Oh.

Quote of the Day

Comfort and ease and affluence and prosperity and safety and freedom often cause a tremendous inertia in the church. The very things that we think would produce personnel and energy and creative investment of time and money for the missionary cause, instead produce the exact opposite: weakness, apathy, lethargy, self-centeredness, preoccupation with security.
—John Piper, Let the Nations Be Glad!, p. 97.
