Keynote Address #1:One Nation Under Man: The Worldview War Between Christians and the Secular Left- Brannon S. Howse

Brannon Howse will give a powerful worldview presentation based on his book, One Nation Under Man: The Worldview War Between Christians and the Secular Left, which is being released in bookstores September 1, 2005. Brannon's presentation reveals the power of your presuppositional worldview. How do Christians that believe God is view the world differently from the Secular Humanist that believes God is not? Brannon's presentation will reveal just how these opposing worldviews think about law, science/medicine, family, education, history, civil government and religion/church.

America is at a cultural, political, legal and religious fork in the road as revealed through the clear split between the blue and red states. Brannon details the consequences of America going to the left and rejecting the laws of nature and nature's God. Brannon makes the case that modern-day liberalism is based on a Secular Humanist worldview and true conservativism is based on the Christian worldview. The winner of this worldview war will determine the fate of America's faith, family, freedoms and future.

Intermission: Visit Resource Tables (There will be a book signing during the break. Be sure to secure your personally signed copy of Brannon's new book)

Praise and worship by Al Denson

Keynote Address #2: Beyond the Gate of Splendor: Steve Saint

Steve Saint was born and raised in South America by missionary parents. Steve was just 5 years old when his father, Nate Saint, and four of his friends, Jim Elliot, Pete Fleming, Ed Mc Cully and Roger Youdarian, were killed by a primitive tribe of Amazon warriors, known as the “Aucas”, in 1956.

Miraculously, two years after the killings, Steve’s aunt, Rachel Saint and Elizabeth Elliot were invited by the Waodani,(as they called themselves, not Aucas) to live with them. When the Waodani heard the gospel, many believed and began to “walk God’s trail”. Steve grew up knowing the man who had killed his father, Mincaye, and came to love him and call him his “tribal father”. Steve was baptized in the same river where his father was killed, by the very men who had done the killing. Steve is part of the supporting cast of the major motion picture, Beyond the Gates of Splendor now making its way across the country. Steve will speak on The Faith of My Fathers.

Steve Saint will be in the lobby at the conclusion of their presentation for you to met them.

Keynote Address #6: The Myth of the Modern Message — Kirk Cameron

Have you ever struggled to reach an unsaved person who is already genuinely happy? If you have tried to reconcile the “God loves you” message with the fact that bad things happen and that millions of Christians have been martyred for their faith, you will love this message. It will show you what’s wrong, and how to right it.

Keynote Address #7:How to Bring a Child to Christ and Keep Them There--Ray Comfort

This presentation will be for everyone, parent, future parent, grandparent, uncle, aunt, babysitter and teenagers will younger siblings. We have received numerous requests for this presentation.

As a parent, you don’t want to suffer the heartache of your children rebelling against their Christian upbringing. Nothing is more important than where your kids will spend eternity, so what can you do to ensure that your beloved kids don’t become part of this alarming statistic?

While only God can save us and keep us, there are biblical principles you can implement to help prevent your children from tragically falling away from the faith. By countering the unscriptural belief that a child can be saved merely by “asking Jesus into his heart,” Ray Comfort shares time-tested principles to help you guide your children to experience genuine salvation and avoid the pitfall of rebellion.

But he found a cure that worked for him, and it can work for you. Learn these powerful and life-changing biblical principles that will not only set you on fire for God, but will keep the fire burning.

This presentation is filled with practical ideas for having family devotions, tips for safeguarding kids from harmful influences, and great suggestions for helping kids understand and learn God’s holy standard, the Ten Commandments.

Defending Your Christian Worldview at the University of Destruction -- David Wheaton

Humanistic professors and students spout many things on today's campus: "Creationism isn't scientific." "The Bible is full of myths and errors." "Christians are sexist, intolerant, war-mongering, and homophobic." Unfortunately, far too many Christians are unprepared and wither under these attacks. We shouldn't be surprised--the Barna Research Group found that only 9% of all Christians actually have a biblical worldview.

David Wheaton, host of a talk radio program that offers a Christian worldview on current events, culture, and faith, will prove the biblical worldview is completely defendable, and in reality, it's the other side that has some explaining to do! At the end of this talk, your Christian worldview will be greatly sharpened and you will leave confidently saying, "Let God be found true, though every man be found a liar!" (Romans 3:4)

David Wheaton is the author of the popular book, University of Destruction, and is the host of a radio program that offers a Christian worldview on current events, culture, and faith. Formerly, he was one of the top professional tennis players in the world. You can find out more at www.davidwheaton.com.
