"The Bible, Science, and Reality"
Modern culture challenges Christians in their belief in the accuracy of
the Bible as related to origins and earth history. Is the Bible against
science? What does scientific evidence indicate about the origin of man?
Reality agrees with the Biblical record, and Christians can be prepared to
give an answer for the hope that is within them (I Peter 3:15). Suitable for
general audience.
-
"The Early Earth"
Literal six-day creation agrees with powerful scientific evidence. If
you could have been Adam and Eve, what would it have been like in the early
earth? Suitable especially for a younger audience, junior high and below.
-
"Genesis and Geology"
How was the earth formed? Was there an Ice Age? Why do we have a Grand
Canyon? Although the secular mind-set challenges Christians in their belief in
the historical accuracy of the Bible, particularly concerning earth history, a
look at geological features shows that reality agrees with the Biblical
record.
Suitable for general audience.
-
"Ancient Man"
The belief that man has ascended up from an animal and therefore should
be more "primitive" in the past disagrees with reality. Scientific
evidence shows that man possessed a high science and technology in the distant
past. The Bible accurately explains the origins of civilization. Suitable for
general audience.
-
"The Bible and Dinosaurs"
Science has a number of puzzles which can be answered by matching the
actual facts from fossils, including modern discoveries concerning dinosaurs,
with the Biblical account of origins. What happened to the dinosaurs? Why don’t
we have dinosaurs today? (Or do we?) Suitable for general audience.
-
"Age of the Earth"
In the evolutionism - creationism discussion, one of the most frequently
asked questions concerns the age of the earth. How old is the earth? How
accurate is carbon dating? What difference does the age of the earth make
theologically?
Suitable for general audience.
-
"The Question of Origins"
Culture is the practical outworking of our belief about origins. In what
way does a culture’s view of origins affect manners, education, social
institutions, science, and morality? Suitable for general audience.
-
"Sharing one’s faith"
There are right ways and wrong ways to share one’s faith in Christ.
For a surrounding culture which is largely ignorant of what true Christianity
is, and may even view Biblical Christianity in a negative light, how can one
share his faith in a positive, convincing, and loving manner? What are some
pitfalls to avoid?
Music is composed of two parts: sounds and lyrics
(words).
This seminar is limited to the sounds of music and does not include a study of
lyrics. There are five separate presentations, all tied together into a
unified whole. All music conveys a worldview message and the sounds far
outweigh the words in what message is conveyed. How does one recognize
what message is being conveyed by the sounds in a piece of music? When
do the sounds in a music piece convey a worldview message which agrees or else
disagrees with the message a church group claims that it believes? Why
is there so much disagreement about church music? Is music merely a
matter of personal taste, or are there Biblical absolutes for music? How
does one discern music appropriate for corporate worship?
