Been listening to some of the messages from the TGC.  I am again reminded that the Gospel is moving people from worshipping idols to worshipping God.  There are many functional gods in our lives.  Stuff from money, to family, to kids, to work, relationships, etc.  Tim Keller’s message was hit it right on the head, not only for ministers, but also for people needing the message.  

People who hear the sermons are people who struggle and are tempted to worship idols.  Things that act as a god but offer nothing in return except sin and misery.  Sermons that are faithful to the word and preach the gospel offers hope in the power and work of Jesus Christ.  

It is my continued prayer to see men and women come into a relationship with Christ and follow him.

Driscoll’s talk was one of a father to a son.  He gave very practical advice for ministers in dealing with people.  I think I will benefit in listening to it again.
