Springfield Bible Conference

This is just a quick plug for a conference I've found that is wonderful. Faith Bible Church is a church in Springfield, Illinois that hosts a Bible conference each year. A group of men take the church bus over to Springfield for a day's worth of preaching by various speakers. Last year Paul Washer was the headliner and this year was Steve Lawson (who works with John MacArthur) and Jeff Pollard. In addition to a wonderful day of preaching and teaching from the Bible, they sell various Christian books at substantial discounts. Below is a photo of three I picked up this year. The three combined cost me about $20, and the first book, Foundations of Grace by Steve Lawson, is over 500 pages. If you are anywhere nearby and want deep, rich teaching that goes from around 10 a.m. until 8 p.m., stop by. Everything is free (except the books, of course).

Pictured books are (from left to right): Foundations of Grace by Steve Lawson, 558 pages. This demonstrates how grace has always been God's plan from the beginning of time. Foxe's Book of Martyrs by John Foxe, 373 pages. This book details some of the millions who have died for their faith in Jesus Christ. Finally, The Unwavering Resolve of Jonathan Edwards by Steve Lawson, 166 pages. This deals with the way God used a Puritan pastor in Colonial America to proclaim and defend the gospel of grace.
