# TRUTHINLOVE

Fundamental to Christian behavior is the lordship of Jesus Christ. “Jesus is Lord” is our confession, the basis for our existence. And our simple responsibility as Christ’s disciples—our one ambition—is to resolve to be faithful to Christ, obedient to his commands set forth in the Word of God. This is the topic for the 2023 Speaking the Truth in Love Conference in Spring, TX: “One Ambition.” Christ calls us to be the world’s salt and light, and to illuminate the darkness by embracing God’s plan for the kind of simplicity that pleases Christ. What is that simplicity? It is a life and ministry confidently resting in the sufficiency of Scripture as the means of grace that God has set forth for his people. Over against the challenge of a wicked and immoral culture, we are to be a people of truth, standing up for the uniqueness of Jesus Christ. Over against the challenge of worldly concerns, we are to be a community of simplicity, faithfulness, and obedience. We must not be like reeds shaken by the wind, bowing down before gusts of public opinion. We must be as immovable rocks, deeply committed to the Word of God without compromise.

For this year’s conference, we are excited to welcome for the first time author and speaker Tim Challies. We will also have several returning and new guests, including H.B. Charles Jr., Pastor of Shiloh Metropolitan Baptist Church, Steven Lawson, President and founder of OnePassion Ministries, Phil Johnson, Executive Director of Grace to You, David Doran, President of Detroit Baptist Theological Seminary, Jerry Wragg, Pastor of Grace Immanuel Bible Church and President of The Expositors Seminary, Andrew Quigley, Minister of the Ottawa Reformed Presbyterian Church in Canada, Virgil Walker, Executive Director of Operations, G3 Ministries, and Darrell Harrison, Dean of Social Media, Grace To You, and Rick Holland, Pastor of Mission Road Bible Church. The Speaking the Truth in Love conference is hosted by Richard Caldwell, Pastor-Teacher of Founders Baptist Church in Houston, TX, and founder of Walking in Grace Ministries.

We invite you to join us on January 20–22, 2023 to be part of this important event!
