ERLC Conference And The Gaylord Conference Center

#erlc2014 JD Greear "Churches have only had two options: affirmation of same sex views or alienation toward their views and toward them. But is there a third way? Jesus modeled this instead, 'Draw them close.'" Please, please listen to this sermon. My goodness

#erlc2014 Ryan Anderson "We all have to find ways to be good neighbors. We haven't done a good enough job of loving our gay neighbors." "Children (in families, from broken families, and those waiting to be placed into families) are the ones being hurt in our culture war."

#erlc2014 a solid panel: Steven Smith "The reality of our day is we can no longer hide in the cloister of our evangelical ghettos." Thomas White "We may be defunded, we may lose a tax status, but we will stand on the Word of God." Jason Allen "Many hide in the 'mushy middle' with their stance on same sex marriage; on my campus there is no ambiguity from our staff to our students on where we stand."

#erlc2014 Dennis Rainey, "When people are discouraged and looking for hope in your community, they should think of your church." Sadly, "the number 1 item found in lost luggage in airports is a wedding ring. Why? because we've accepted 'what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas'..."

#erlc2014 undergirding this conference has been a steady stream of quality worship. Thank you Matt Boswell Selfishly, I rejoice so much greater when there is a large accompaniment of men. Reminds me of singing alongside my dad in worship, something I will greatly miss. This was his favorite hymn btw #ItisWell And for him it was well with his soul and now is well alongside his King - tho I still get teary eyed while singing hymns like this

#erlc2014 Russell Moore, "The Gospel doesn't propel a divorce culture; rather an almost-gospel propels a divorce culture." We are 'as' counter cultural as we want to be, and this is a problem

#erlc2014 Jim Daly, "If you want to influence the culture you should fight the culture but persuade. No one has been effectively bullied into believing anything." Gentleness, or as Dr Moore says 'convictional kindness'

#erlc2014 David Platt's message, point 4

#erlc2014 David Platt's message, point 3

#erlc2014 David Platt's message, point 2

#erlc2014 David Platt's message, point one

#erlc2014 David Platt, "Under one Gospel we do not have the option of deciding which social issues we are going to fight and which ones we are going to flop."

#erlc2014 Sam Allberry, "Read Revelation 1 and understand who Jesus is. Then understand what the Bible says about tolerance to sin from the churches. Do you want to be against that Jesus?" "You will not be on the wrong side of history if you side with Jesus, because he is the beginning and the end of history."

#erlc2014 Denny Burk, "We have adopted in our culture that psychological identity trumps bodily identity." (Genesis: God created them male and female)

#erlc2014 Jackie Hill Perry, "I knew I was saved when I couldn't lust after this good looking woman without feeling guilty over it. Suddenly I realized I was aware of my sin and its offense to my holy God."

#erlc2014 Christian Yuan, "Unconditional love from God is not the same as unconditional approval of my behavior."
