At the EMA

To Westminster Chapel with Jacob and Paul for the Evangelical Ministry Assembly (left), a wonderfully encouraging annual conference which I have attended every year since 1990.

As well as a chance to meet old friends, the EMA is a great opportunity for spiritual refreshment and encouragement in the crucial matter of preaching and teaching God's word in the local church.

A highlight today was a wonderful lecture on the life of ministry of Billy Graham, with some stirring singing of songs made popular in that great man's crusades: Blessed Assurance and How Great Thou Art.

In the afternoon, I went to a seminar (pictured below) for those of who have been in preaching ministry for 20 years or more which was full of practical wisdom and encouragement.

A great EMA day, roll on tomorrow....
