Today was an intense but good day at the G3 conference here in Atlanta, Georgia—which is focused on Jesus Christ—being attended by close to 7000 people. We took in all five addresses on Christ which were delivered to the entire audience in this order: Dr. Josh Buice on “Who is Jesus?” (Mark 8:27-31); Dr. Conrad Mbewe on “Christ as Head of the Church” (Eph. 5:22-27); myself on “The Utopian Marriage with Christ in Heaven” (Rev. 19:6-9); Dr, Steve Lawson on “The Darkness of Golgotha” (John 19:19-31); and Dr. John MacArthur on “The Suffering Servant” (Isa. 52:13 through 53—see photo).
We also spent several hours today selling several thousands of dollars worth of books at the RHB table. People here are hungry and eager to learn. It was particularly exciting to introduce scores of people today to the Puritans (or to see them already excited by Puritan material such as the three young ladies with us in picture 3 below) and to see them walk away also with family worship resources that can both change their lives and transform their families.
We met with dozens of old friends and new friends today, and were deeply gratified and humbled by their encouragements. Pray that God will continue to bless this conference mightily as we look forward to five more addresses on Jesus Christ tomorrow.
