Children Desiring God Conference - April 26-28

I was honored by the request to live blog the plenary sessions of the Children Desiring God Conference, which kicks off in less than a week. Live blog posts will appear on the Desiring God blog as well as here (by permission from DG).

Conference Theme: How Great a Salvation

The theme for this conference, "How Great a Salvation," was chosen out of a desire to lead children toward a biblical understanding of salvation. The nature of our evangelistic appeals—the words we use to explain salvation, and the assumptions we make in teaching children—will shape their understanding of the gospel for years to come. We must faithfully lead the next generation in truth, lest we unwittingly misguide our children.
