| | Some notes from the Shepherd's Conference:
- God did not author a book in order to obscure himself from his creation, but to communicate himself clearly.
- Instantaneous/miraculous creation illustrates the new birth (regeneration of the soul by the Holy Spirit). But theistic evolution decouples death from God's curse on creation (and the penalty of sin). And thus diminishes the seriousness of sin.
- Theistic evolutionists may become ok with a lack of good fruit in their lives because the miracle of creation is not important to them, and thus the miracle of the new birth is not significant to them.
- God refutes apocalyptic global warming in Genesis 8:22, while the earth remains, seedtime and harvest cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will not cease.
- The "green initiative" ban on DDT killed millions. It was later proven that DDT does not cause cancer, while Malaria continued to plague.
- 1 Cor 3:15, you harm the church, God will harm you. You do not want to position yourself as an enemy of God.
- Can you preach your sermon to any people from any time? Is y our sermon so entrenched in the culture that it would be obsolete in just one year?
- Purity and obedience (not pagan or cleverness) in our Church's gatherings is essential. This is The Church, we gather in order to worship and then scatter to evangelize.
- Worship songs that plead for the Spirit to rain down betrays an already deficient life for Christ. Live and know Christ and you will not have to waste your musical breath singing about worship, you will simply worship in profound truth, spirit and mind.
- The will of God for you is not a happy life, but a happy God.
