The latest post on the new Sovereign Grace blog recaps the sermon delivered by C. J. Mahaney at SEBTS’ 2008 20/20 Conference Missio Dei just a week ago. Find there an overview of the conference, an outline of Mahaney’s message “The Cup”, and Dr. Akin’s conclusion:

I was listening very carefully when C.J. preached. Sometimes at a conference like this people are very enthusiastic and demonstrative in their response to the preaching. But tonight as C.J. preached, there was a holy silence in this room. There was not much stirring because we were standing on holy ground. I’ll never, ever look at the Garden of Gethsemane the same again.

Our SEBTS president, Dr. Akin, emailed to the student body and posted on his website the paper he delivered at the SBC Building Bridges Conference this week entitled “Answering the Call to a Great Commission Resurgence.” I’ve yet to give it a gander, but can guess where he’s going to go with it and am interested to hear comments on it and the Conference in general around the blogosphere. It seems like Timmy Brister’s blog is a good place to keep up with things and download MP3s and PDFs of the presentations.

Here are links to Akin’s paper:
