My take on T4G free registration contest - 1

Mark Dever at "Together for the Gospel" is running a series of contests that promises to give out free registrations for the conference. I won't be able to go, but I can give it to some friends in US, so I entered too. You can do so as well of course, if you are interested, although it's probably a little late for the first one. But there'll be two more I think.

The Question was:
If you could have anyone from history join the cast of speakers at T4G, who would it be and why?

My humble take:
The Apostle Paul
3 reasons
1) His clear understanding and preaching of the Gospel
2) His authentic and examplary commitment to the Gospel
3) His willingness to become all things to all men for the sake of the Gospel (1 Cor. 9:22)


What do you think?

I figured it was kind of cheating to choose someone from the Bible. But, once you cleared the way, I decided to go with the author of Hebrews. In the first place, I am preaching on Hebrews right now and I would like to know who wrote it. Second, it would be great just to hear him preach the first four verses. And, his theological centerdness on Christ, along with his pastoral exhortation not to quit is what we so need today.

I am preaching on Hebrews right now and I would like to know who wrote it -> doh! You got me there. I also want to know who that is!

I love Hebrews.
