1st Keynote Presentation- Genesis: Key to Reclaiming the culture-Mr. Ken Ham

Most people have the erroneous idea that the Bible is just a book of religion, morality or salvation. But the Bible is also a book of history, and it deals with the ‘big picture’ aspects of every area of reality, including geology, astronomy, biology, anthropology, physics, chemistry and so on.

The key to developing a Christian worldview is to use the Bible’s history, encompassing geology, astronomy, biology, etc., as a pair of ‘biblical glasses.’ The Bible’s history can be used to connect the past to the present, and thus enables us to correctly interpret the scientific evidence of the present.

We can then use observational science to confirm this biblical interpretation. This same foundation of history is also foundational to understanding the gospel, Christian morality, etc.

2nd Keynote Presentation: Seven Reasons Why You Can Trust The Bible --Dr. Erwin Lutzer

Since the Bible is a book bearing the marks of both human and divine authorship, it has fascinated its readers for centuries. Are there good reasons to accept it as a revelation from God? In this message, Pastor Lutzer gives reasons why the Bible is indeed worthy of our trust:

A Logical Reason - The Claims Of The Bible
A Historical Reason - The Reliability Of The Bible
Prophetic Reason - The Predictions Of The Bible
Chronological Reason - The Authority Of Christ
Scientific Reason - The Story Of Creation
Providential Reason - The Canonical Reason
Personal Reason - The Power Of The Word

Dr. Lutzer will have a book signing following his keynote presentation.

Saturday Morning Schedule: November 5th 8:00a.m. to 11:15 a.m.

Saturday Morning music, comedy and variety acts by Thom and Matt Gumm and the Gumm Family Trio as well as music by concern pianist Larry Dalton

3rd Keynote Presentation: 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 conservatism is based on the Christian worldview. The winner of this worldview war will determine the fate of America's faith, family, freedoms and future.

Break: Visit Resource Tables. During this break their will be a book signing by Brannon Howse of his new book One Nation Under Man?

4th Keynote Presentation: How to Develop Intimacy With God--Dr. Woodrow Kroll

We all want to know God better. We want to become truly intimate with Him. But is it even possible? And if it's possible, how do we do it?
How do we develop intimacy with God? Woodrow Kroll has spent a lifetime asking questions about thirsting for God and finding
fulfillment in Him. Now he shares what he has learned with you. We develop intimacy with God the same way we develop intimacy with anyone
we love and Dr. Kroll will use his own life with his wife Linda as an example of how to develop intimacy with God. These principles will work
for you.

Saturday Night Schedule: 6:45 p.m. to 10:00 pm

Saturday night will include ventriloquist Steve Brogan, the music of Brannon Howse, concert pianist Larry Dalton and the First Baptist Church of Sevierville Celebration Choir and Orchestra

5th Keynote Presentation: Intelligent Design – Kerby Anderson

Lots of information and misinformation has been spread by the media about the intelligent design movement. What are a few of the arguments made by these scientists in the fields of astronomy? Do we live in a “just right” universe? What are some of the argument made by scientists in biology? Do living systems show irreducible complexity? Who are some of the leaders in this movement? Can the ideas of intelligent design be taught in public school classrooms?

Intermission: Visit Resource Tables. Kerby Anderson will have a book signing for his new book Christian Ethics in Plain Language

6th Keynote Presentation: Applying the Bible to Daily Life: A Lesson from History--Mr. David Barton

Discover how the actions of dedicated Christians changed the course of a nation, and examine the Biblical teachings that caused previous generations of Christians to believe that it was their duty to be involved with government. It is time for this generation to reengage in civil stewardship from a Biblical viewpoint; but to do so effectively, we must understand the true historical and Biblical role of Christians in civil government.

The Da Vinci Code is one of the best selling books of the year. Millions upon Millions have read this book or at least heard the false claims about Jesus Christ presented in this bestseller.
