As many of you know, I am away at the "Holiness of God" conference hosted by R.C Sproul and Ligonier Ministries. Of course this means that I am currently in Orlando, Florida where it is approximately 80 degrees! But the best part of it, is that I do not have to go to Disney while I'm here!!
Anyway, back to the point of this post - I had considered trying to give some notes from the sessions but then I stumbled upon the Ligonier Ministries blog and realized that there is no way I could compete with Alex Chediak. So, I encourage you to go to Ligonier Ministries Blog (one of the links to the right of this post - listed as R.C. Sproul's blog) and check out what we have been learning about.
While all the sessions have been profitable, I will give you my top 3:
1. R.C. Sproul's kickoff address - "I am the Lord, there is no other"
2. Thabiti Anyabwile's message - "Cosmic Treason: Sin & the Holiness of God"
3. D.A Carson's talk - "A Holy Nation: The Church's High Calling"
The conference will conclude tomorrow at 1:00 pm with a final address from R.C Sproul
Btw, all of you that are reading this from Warren, Ohio...while down here I have been introduced to this big, yellow, round object in the sky...something I have never seen in "Always Partly Cloudy Warren, Ohio"...I will see if I can negotiate a deal where we can have this thing they call the "sun" visit us in Northeast Ohio once in a while!!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!
Today is commonly referred to as St. Patrick's Day and all that most people seem to know about this day is that they are supposed to wear green!
So, to help us know a little more about St. Patrick, here is an excerpt from his confessions:
"For there is no other God, nor ever was before, nor shall be hereafter, but God the Father, unbegotten and without beginning, in whom all things began, whose are all things, as we have been taught; and his son Jesus Christ, who manifestly always existed with the Father, before the beginning of time in the spirit with the Father, indescribably begotten before all things, and all things visible and invisible were made by him. He was made man, conquered death and was received into Heaven, to the Father who gave him all power over every name in Heaven and on Earth and in Hell, so that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord and God, in whom we believe. And we look to his imminent coming again, the judge of the living and the dead, who will render to each according to his deeds. And he poured out his Holy Spirit on us in abundance, the gift and pledge of immortality, which makes the believers and the obedient into sons of God and co-heirs of Christ who is revealed, and we worship one God in the Trinity of holy name." ~ Excerpt from the Confession of Saint Patrick
