Desiring God 2008 National Conference

This panel discussion featured Sinclair Ferguson, Mark Driscoll, and John Piper, with questions by Justin Taylor. Here's what was asked:

• Pastor John, anything in particular from Sinclair's message that stood out to you or convicted you?
• Sinclair, how did you come to believe the gospel?
• How do you avoid the extremes of either indulging in controvery or neglecting it to a fault?
• What have you learned, Mark, from those who have criticized you?
• Sinclair, how do you use the psalms to minister to your own soul?
• Pastor John, in Matt 12 Jesus says that people will have to give account on judgment day for every careless word they speak. How is that not massively discouraging?
• Mark, how do you counsel people from the cross?
• What alternative do people offer who are trying to get rid of the substitutionary atonement?
• Sinclair, can you say something about the importance of the doctrine of union with Christ? Any resources you recommend on this subject?
