2006 Desiring God Conference

The 2006 Desiring God Conference has concluded. I thoroughly enjoyed the conference and thought that they did an excellent job of putting it on. You can download the free audio teachings here.

It's hard to say what the highlights were. The worship times were great and so were all of the speakers. Tim Keller and David Wells really stood out for me. Though the other speakers were great, their messages probably connected with me more. John Piper was excellent as always, but I had already heard him speak on his topic many times before. I really like Keller's conversational style of teaching and how he used some of Martyn Lloyd Jone's insights into our present culture. Wells did a great job of relating the truth of scripture with where the church is now in our society.

Mark Driscoll was also impressive. There was a lot of buzz about him being there. Piper even made the comment that no other speaker had ever gotten him into more trouble than Driscoll. People were somewhat concerned about Piper inviting him to his conference. If you have ever read any of Driscoll's books, or heard him speak, then you might understand why. I just got done reading his new book, "Confessions of a Reformission Rev." I personally don't have any problem with Driscoll's style, though I did disagree with some things in his book. I'll try and post a review of it later. Overall, it was a pretty inspirational book, especially being apart of a new church plant myself.
