A Culture in Crisis, a Confused Church, and the Answers in Genesis:
What is happening in America? Even though there are more Christian resources, ministries, and schools in America today than ever before, it only takes a brief look at our culture to see that it is becoming less “Christian” every day. Studies have consistently shown that an average of 2/3’s of kids today, who grow up in Christian homes, walk away from the church once they reach college age. Most of whom, do not return. And it’s not just America; the entire Western world is experiencing the dramatic erosion of the biblical worldview. Why is this happening, how is it related to the compromise of Genesis, and as Christians how do we respond? There is a solution. Unsurprisingly, we find it in God’s Word, starting in the book of Genesis.
Living Faithfully in Babylon:
Those living in America and much of the Western world, have essentially experienced a cultural transplantation. Many didn’t see it coming, and most didn’t ask for it, but none the less Babylon is here. The change is so jarring because America, and much of the west, was largely built on biblical principles. But those foundational truths have been under relentless assault for generations now. From “science,” education, entertainment, politics, to compromised Christian leaders and pastors, the barrage against biblical authority has steadily eroded the foundation of our culture. Whether we saw it coming or not is irrelevant now. Like the Jews exiled into a hostile culture, Christians in America today find themselves in a land increasingly antagonistic to their beliefs. The shock of the change does not change its reality. The ultimate question we must now confront, is not how did we get here, but how do we live faithfully in Babylon.
Combating Compromise with the 7 C’s of History:
In our day and age, the enemy is attacking biblical authority with a full-scale attack on the Bible’s history; especially that history in Genesis 1-11. As a result, many Christians have compromised the clear history of Genesis with evolution and/or millions of years. But they have done so without realizing the consequential undermining of the authority of God’s Word and the gospel based in that authority. In this presentation, we’ll venture through the 7 C’s of history and demonstrate that when look at the world through the glasses of biblical history: we see God’s Word confirmed time and again, we can answer the skeptical questions of this age, and share the gospel with boldness in this secular age!
Tracing the Gospel Through His-story:
Perhaps one of the greatest confirmations of the Bible’s authenticity is its supernatural unity. Understanding that unity gives us a powerful tool to fight biblical illiteracy. This book, written over a period of 1500 years by 40-plus authors from diverse backgrounds on three different continents in different languages, time periods, and cultures, is all about one thing, the gospel. It’s all about one Person, Jesus Christ! In this session, we’ll trace the promised Seed through all biblical history and see clearly that the Bible has one Author, one theme, one purpose. From beginning to end, it’s all about the gospel! All of history is indeed, His story!
Woke Injustice: A Biblical Response to CRT:
Critical Race Theory (CRT) is everywhere in our culture today. In the headlines, news shows, corporations, military, government, universities, schools, and even many churches. What is it, where does it come from, and is it truly a “helpful analytical tool” for society as some Christians are suggesting? In this talk we’ll answer all these questions and clear the confusion by defining the popular cultural terms and phrases being used to advance this ideology under the banner of reconciliation. As we will see, far from being a tool of reconciliation, CRT it is a racist ideology and a device designed for division and destruction.
Quick Answers to Social Issues:
The collapse of the Christian worldview in America and the West is happening, to the utter shock of Christians. Why? We’ve been blind to the enemy’s stealth attack on biblical history and authority, which has led multiple generations to abandon God’s Word as their foundation. As a result, many today have embraced secular views on everything from origins to morality and the culture at large has felt embolden to unapologetically push a secular worldview and agenda. When our culture asks the questions dealt with in this presentation — and our kids parrot these questions and ideas heard from schools, libraries, movies, books, music, YouTube, social media, etc. — it must be remembered they’re not innocent, unintentional questions. They stem fundamentally from a rejection of biblical authority. This session provides answers for some of the toughest questions of the day regarding: abortion, equality, racism, social justice, marriage, sexuality, the LGBTQ+ movement, and “Climate Change”. It’s imperative that Christians be ready to give answers to today’s questions! The purpose of this session is to equip believers with clear, concise biblical answers to effectively stand on God’s Word and boldly proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ on the frontlines of today’s battle!
One Blood One Race One Savior:
Many people today, including Christians, are confused about the origin of the so-called “races” of people. Evolutionary thinking on this issue saturates our culture; and unfortunately, much of the church. But when we stand on the authority of God’s Word and understand accepted scientific principles, there are easy-to-grasp answers. Find out how the historical events of the special creation of the first Adam and the Tower of Babel are the key to the origin of nations, “races”, languages and directly connects to the only real answer to racism, the gospel of the Last Adam Jesus Christ!
Why Won’t They Listen?:
Christians who have a passion for the gospel have spent a lot resources, effort and time to spread it around the world. The fruit of this can be seen globally.
In many cultures, though, appeals made on behalf of the Christian faith are met with blank stares, indifference, even mocking hostility. Why won’t they listen? Why aren’t the traditional methods of evangelism reaching today’s humanistic, evolutionized cultures? It would seem, that numerous people today won’t listen to the gospel because they don’t understand or believe the book from which the gospel comes. They have swallowed the enemy’s lie that archeology, astronomy, geology, biology, evolution, and millions of years have disproved the Bible. So, they reasonably determine that if the Bible’s history is false, why trust it about salvation? Compounding the problem is the fact that many Christians and Christian institutions have compromised with evolutionary ideas, undermining biblical authority, and virtually crippling their preaching, teaching, and witnessing efforts. How then do we effectively present the gospel today? Unsurprisingly, we find the answer in a “radical idea” presented in God’s Word.
Do Animals Evolve? Dispelling the Confusion:
Is evolution a fact? In his book, The Greatest Show on Earth: The Evidence for Evolution, Richard Dawkins summarizes what much of the scientific community, our culture and the world believes regarding this question. In it he says this, “Evolution is a fact. Beyond reasonable doubt, beyond serious doubt, beyond sane, informed, intelligent doubt, beyond doubt evolution is a fact…” Is this true? As Christians how do we respond? To answer these questions, we must stand on the authority of God’s Word and carefully define the word evolution. When we do this, the deceptive “bait and switch” with the word evolution is unveiled and we see that real science confirms the Bible.
The Age of the Earth: Trusting Man’s Ideas or God’s Word?:
Thousands or billions, does it really matter? Haven’t scientists proved the universe is billions of years old? So why not just squeeze billions of years into the Bible? God can do anything right, maybe He used billions of years. Besides, it’s just a side issue right? Wrong. As it turns out, the debate over the age of the earth is a battle between man’s ideas and God’s Word. Discover how the Bible’s plain teaching on this subject is confirmed by science and how the “Age of the Earth” issue is inextricably linked to the authority of Scripture and the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Noah’s Ark and Flood:
When talking about Noah’s flood in the current culture, questions like these inevitably arise: “How did Noah get all those animals onto the ark? Where did the water for the flood come from and go? Did the waters really cover the entire earth? Is there evidence of a global flood?” These are just some of the popular questions that are a stumbling block for so many. But if we start with God’s Word, these questions are easily answered and provide a great opportunity for the Gospel! And since there was a global flood, as described in the Bible, we expect to find billions of dead things, buried in rock layers, laid down by water, all over the earth. And that’s exactly what we find! Not only that, the properties and features of the rock layers and fossils provide tremendous confirmation of the global flood and God’s Word. In reality, Noah’s flood washes away the ideas of evolution and millions of years; foundational doctrines of Humanism, the pagan religion of our day.
Dinosaurs, Dragons, and the Bible:
Dinosaurs! Few things ignite our imagination the way these mysterious creatures do! As a consequence, dinosaurs are one of the primary baits the secularist use to reel people, especially kids, into an evolutionary worldview. But what is the truth behind the fossils and legends? When did dinosaurs actually roam the earth? Are they mentioned in the Bible? II Corinthians 10:5 tells Christians to, “demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ”. And when we do that, building all our thinking on the foundation of God’s Word, we have answers even about dinosaurs! Exposing the fallacies of evolutionary thinking and demonstrating how real evidence confirms the Bible again and again makes scripture come alive and provides a powerful avenue for the Gospel!
The Evolving Ape-Man: Dividing Fact from Fiction:
“Is evolution a fact? In his book, The Greatest Show on Earth: The Evidence for Evolution, Richard Dawkins summarizes what much of the scientific community, our culture and the world believes in regard to this question. In it he says this, “Evolution is a fact. Beyond reasonable doubt, beyond serious doubt, beyond sane, informed, intelligent doubt, beyond doubt evolution is a fact…” And the quintessential star of the “fact” of the evolutionary tale is the “Ape-man”. He seems to pop up everywhere the story of evolution is pedaled with the declaration of “ancestor of us all” and “the ultimate proof” of humanity’s evolutionary history. But why does the ape-man and his history keep evolving? What is the actual evidence for the parade of ape-men unveiled over the years? And what are the unspoken assumptions of secular scientists today as they investigate the fragmentary, present-day evidence? In this session, we will discover the reason for the never-ending evolution of the ape-man narrative and unequivocally realize that when fact is divided from the fiction of evolution, real science confirms the Bible’s historicity a thousand times over.
Quick Answers to Tough Questions:
“Where did God come from? Why is there death and suffering if God exists? Doesn’t carbon dating disprove the Bible? Isn’t evolution a fact? Doesn’t distant starlight prove millions of years? What about the Ape-men? What about dinosaurs? In this session, you’ll hear more than 15 quick answers to some of the most-asked questions about God, the Bible, creation and evolution. Your faith will be encouraged by the overwhelming scientific confirmation of God’s Word and you’ll be better equipped to obey the call to give an answer for your faith and boldly proclaim the gospel!”
