Worldview Weekend October 10-11
A worldview is the lenses, glasses, framework or grid through which you
look at the world and every issue and aspect of life. In
On Friday, October 10th and Saturday, October 11th,
Last year, Twin Oaks Presbyterian Church hosted the first ever Worldview
Weekend for the
According to Brannon Howse, President
of the AFPI and Director of Worldview Weekends of America, a report by the
Nehemiah Institute revealed the great need for Worldview Weekends due to the
incredible number adults and teenagers who lack a true biblical worldview.
Most Christians may know what they believe, but very few know why they believe
what they do or have the knowledge and understanding to defend their biblical
beliefs. The upcoming Worldview Weekend Conference, Capturing Certain Truth in Uncertain Times, is a must attend event
which will not only strengthen you and your children's walk with the Lord,
but will equip you with the knowledge necessary to defend your faith and beliefs
in today’s society.

Are there errors
in the Bible? In one Gospel it says that Judas hung himself,
in another Gospel it says that Judas’ body fell into a field and split open.
So, which one was it? In one Gospel it says that there was one angel at the
tomb of Christ on resurrection morning. In another Gospel it says there were
two. So, which one was it? There are 800 such ‘inconsistencies’
critics and skeptics of Christianity point to. Learn why these are NOT inconsistencies
and how you can answer these common objections to Christianity.
The Success of a Biblical Worldview with David Barton
Over the past two
generations, concerted efforts have been made to relegate Christians to just
a few limited areas of society. Previous generations however, understood the
biblical teaching that Christians should be involved in every aspect of their
culture. Learn about the time in
The
Dr. Tim LaHaye and
Dr. David Noebel are the authors of the 2001 New York Times best seller, Mind
Siege. Dr. Noebel’s presentation will be based on that book as he explains

3) Amorality, 4) Autonomous self-centered man, 5) One-world socialistic government.
With sound historical, scientific and biblical knowledge and evidence, Dr.
Noebel will also address the question; “Is humanism a religion?”

The Declaration and the Constitution:
Their Christian Roots with Kerby
Many Americans are
unaware of the writings and documents that preceded our Declaration of Independence and Constitution
and the influence of biblical ideas upon the writing of those documents.
What Christian principles were part of the Declaration
of Independence? How did Christian ideas form the basis of our Constitution? We will look specifically
at the issues of the Constitution and
human nature, the Constitution and
majority tyranny, and the Constitution
and governmental tyranny. In each case, we will find that godly men provided
solutions such as popular sovereignty, balance of powers, and checks and balances.
The influence of the Bible on the
Constitution was profound. The writers
from the Founding Era quoted from the Bible
34 percent of the time. Even more interesting was that about three-fourths
of all references to the Bible came
from reprinted sermons from that era.
The Bible and Technology with
Scott Lindsey
This blow-your-socks-off
presentation will demonstrate the use of technology for Bible study, sermon/lesson preparation,
Greek/Hebrew analysis and word study, Sunday school, cell/home group ministry,
home school, missions and much more. Type the verse or topic, click go, that’s
it! The world’s most powerful Bible
study technology is now the world’s easiest. Spend more time actually studying
the Bible instead of looking for
information to study! The technology can read hundreds of theological books
and find the material you need in seconds. Not studying Greek and Hebrew anymore?
You will now! Create a Bible reading
plan and prayer journal, conduct your devotions, integrate the Internet into
Bible study, and much more. Bible study was meant to be this exciting
and life changing... you will be amazed.
Connecting With the Heart of a
Young Person with Sean McDowell
Despite many appearances
to the contrary, young people truly are interested in connecting with significant
adults in their lives. Actually, recent studies show that the central factor
for the healthy development of young people is the relational connections
they make with their parents, teachers, pastors, and coaches. In this session
we will explore five connecting points to help adults enter the minds of today’s
youth and help guide them to their destiny.

A Biblical Worldview on Today’s
Top Issues with David Barton

that the Bible was written thousands

on such modern day issues such as progressive income tax, property tax, no-fault
divorce, victims rights, education, private property, five-day work week and
more. Discover the cultural, business, and personal relevance of a biblical
worldview.

Never Read a Bible Verse: The
Key to Handling God’s Word Accurately with Sean McDowell
We value the Bible highly, in fact, we consider the
Bible to be like a love-letter from God,
a road map for the journey of life. But we often have odd and dangerous ways
of using it. In this seminar Sean will tackle the two core problems that must
be overcome if we are to accurately understand and apply God’s Word to our lives.
