While at Beeson, I grabbed a copy of Piper’s, The Supremacy of God in Preaching. It was an introductory dose of what all who’ve heard John Piper have come to expect-an unveiling of the majesty and supremacy of God. Piper spoke as one having authority an authority based upon the Word that accentuated God’s glory. With every word, my call to ministry intensified. Situated in the stunning Hodges Chapel at Beeson, I sat hanging on every syllable. While beginning to sense God’s call to ministry, in February of 1998 I joined a car full of college-age men aspiring to the ministry, and we traveled north from Mobile, AL, on Interstate 65 to attend the Conger Lectures on Preaching at Beeson Divinity School in Birmingham.įriends described that year’s lecturer as the “John MacArthur of the North.” I would soon get to hear him in person. ![]() ![]()
