The Gospel Coalition Conference: Session #3, Crawford Loritts
After Tim Keller’s message, a thought provoking panel discussion, and a 2 hour dinner break, we reassembled in the Trinity chapel for Session #3, Passing On The Torch, by Crawford Loritts.
This was the first time I’ve heard Loritts speak. The man can preach. However, I found it difficult to take notes from Loritts. So, I just listened. Suffice it to say that Lorrits’ message was both a critique of the “strategic arrogance” that characterizes much of evangelicalism today and a challenge to “pass on the torch” by pointing this present generation and future generations to God through courageously proclaiming the simple message of the Scriptures. He based this message on Psalm 78:5-7. I’m still processing Loritts’ session as it seemed a bit out of place with the previous sessions.
Justin, sorry to hit you several questions on one day…but could you comment some more on your last statment: “I’m still processing Loritts’ session as it seemed a bit out of place with the previous sessions.” What was out of place?
James,
Loritts’ message simply wasn’t centered on the gospel, as were the two opening sessions. That’s what seemed “out of place” with the other sessions/the intention of the conference.
Thanks…that is what I thought after reading the summaries.
