Almost 900 church leaders attended the annual FIEC Leaders’ Conference in Torquay in November.
The theme for the conference was Here & Now: Communicating the Gospel in our Post-Christian Culture. This promised help where many know help is needed.
Don Carson’s outstanding exposition of Isaiah 6 put the conference on the right path. He brought a majestic view of the holiness of God, and also a sense of reality to gospel ministry. There is a note of hope for Isaiah in the chapter, but it would be fulfilled 700 years later in the coming of Jesus. Caught up in the wider sweep of the rise and fall of nations and cultures, within God’s good purposes, ministry today should be viewed in light of that.
