The Mysterious Islands
Tonight we watched with a thousand others the Cincinnati Premiere Showing of Doug Phillip's new movie. We throughly enjoyed the video. What I really enjoyed was the interviewing of the cast and filmmakers. They told of many stories in the filming and making of this DVD and of how the Lord worked in all the details and lives of many.

Saturday Speakers
Saturday was a full day begining with Kevin Swanson -- Scripture is Sufficient for Your Educational Decisions. He passionately pled to abandon useless form in education and instead to model the fear of God, which is the true basis of all knowledge.
Then in another section Kevin Swanson spoke on The Sufficiency of Scripture and Family Integration. He shared how the battle for the family and the church is being fought on issues of Biblical jurisdiction.
Then we listen to Voddie Baucham compare the typical church's youth ministry with the design the Lord set forth in scripture in his message on Scripture is Sufficient for Youth Ministry.
Voddie Baucham also brought the last keynote address for the conference. The Sufficiency of Scripture in the Discipleship-Making Ministry of the Church and the Home. He taught from Titus 1 and 2 during . He did not just teach us about the sufficiency of Scripture, he demonstrated it by a line-by-line study of this blueprint for godly life.
He used the illustration of a three-legged stool to describe the three vital aspects of age-integrated discipleship: godly, mature men and women; godly, manly elders; and godly, biblically functioning homes. This is the key to harmony between church and home.
He said, “Give your life to the Bride of Christ until you die.” Then, he powerfully showed that Titus 1 contains the list of qualities to which every man must aspire. He spoke directly to unbiblical practices and habits which are so easy to fall into or be immersed in unconsciously.

SOS Men's Chorale
“God of our fathers” was composed for the 4th of July Centennial in 1876, at a time when Americans still acknowledged with gratitude God’s providence in the founding of our nation. The hymn’s message of multi-generational commitment to our fathers’ vision and faithful walking with our fathers’ God is incredibly appropriate as we seek to apply the doctrine of the sufficiency of Scripture, a doctrine which was recovered and passed down to us by our Reformation forefathers.
God of our fathers, whose almighty hand
God of our fathers, whose almighty hand
Leads forth in beauty all the starry band
Of shining worlds in splendor through the skies
Our grateful songs before Thy throne arise.
Thy love divine hath led us in the past,
In this free land by Thee our lot is cast,
Be Thou our Ruler, Guardian, Guide and Stay,
Thy Word our law, Thy paths our chosen way.
From war’s alarms, from deadly pestilence,
Be Thy strong arm our ever sure defense;
Thy true religion in our hearts increase,
Thy bounteous goodness nourish us in peace.
Refresh Thy people on their toilsome way,
Lead us from night to never ending day;
Fill all our lives with love and grace divine,
And glory, laud, and praise be ever Thine.

Friday Afternoon
1:30 Paul Washer Speakes: Scipture is Sufficient for Personal EvangelismPaul Washer just preached to a packed room on “The Sufficiency of Scripture and Personal Evangelism.” With all the seats full, another 100 people were sitting on the floor or standing to listen with rapt attention. One of Paul’s powerful points was to contrast the clear preaching of the Gospel Word, which the Holy Spirit can choose to use to grant saving faith, with the emotional manipulation techniques which dominate modern “evangelism.” Scripture is not silent on how the gospel is to be communicated and men and women brought to Christ.
3:00 Geoffrey Botkin Speakes: Applying the Sufficiecy of Scripture in the Botkin Family
“You live by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.” (Matt. 4:4) Open the Bible each day and find your marching orders, find something to obey.
We can teach our children to be zealous for good works and train them in doctrine, reproof, and instruction in righteousness by teaching them to open Scripture. Most American Christians fail to apply Scripture because they value it only as an empty convention and are blind to its power and relevance.

Friday Morning
8:15am Voddie Baucham speaks: The sufficiency of Scripture for Mahood and WomanhoodIn this morning's message he presented the Bible's core teaching on manhood and outlined the destruction the church is facing in the wake of the militant feminist attacks of the 1960s. These attacks have resulted in the fruit we see around us today: Boys have become effeminate, girls have been masculinized, we see abortion, delayed and confused marriages, an epidemic of unprotected women, plummeting birth rates, the normalization of single parent homes, and the acceptance of sodomy. Voddie pointed out that not only is the nation of American seeing the total destruction which feminism brings, but the Church of God as well, because the feminized men...read more

The Conference Begins
Thursday, October 10th 5:30pm Scott Brown opens the conference with his Keynote address: Do Not Learn the Ways of the GentilesThe battle over the sufficiency of Scripture is the consistent theme of Scripture, from the serpent in Eden to the temptation of Christ, and it continues unabated in our own day. We are not saying that the church just needs to be tweaked; ours is an urgent plea of anguish. Today's church is heeding the professors rather than the prophets of God, and thus the house of God has become a house of inventions and a mirror of the world. Those who claim to be the children of God have become the children of the world. The church is not man's playground, and living the way of the world will bring destruction.
7:00pm Doug Phillips Keynote speach: The Defining Battles in the War Against the Sufficiency of Scripture
In the end, each of us must every single day answer the question,“By what standard will I live my life?” We can talk and talk about loving Christ, but we cannot do it before the Lord if we cannot say with David, “O, how I love Thy law!”
SOS Men's Chorale is giving attendees a stirring rendition of ‘Speak, O Lord’. Here are the words to this most appropriate hymn:
Speak, O Lord, as we come to YouTo receive the food of Your Holy Word.Take Your truth, plant it deep in us;Shape and fashion us in Your likeness,That the light of Christ might be seen todayIn our acts of love and our deeds of faith.Speak, O Lord, and fulfill in usAll Your purposes for Your glory
8:30 Ken Ham Closing Keynote address: Oour Declining Church and Culture: The Genesis Connection and How to Continue a Godly Heritage --a tremendous call to embrace the Genesis account of origins.
He began by documenting the rampant apostasy across the West – the culture which was once known as Christendom. The prevailing religion is that of moral relativism (which is polytheism), when, as the book of Judges puts it, “every man does what is right in his own eyes.” We see many distressing things: sodomite marriage, anti-Christian sentiment, abortion, euthanasia, the removal of 10 commandments from public places, etc. But these are only symptoms. Christians have spent millions of dollars blindly attacking the symptoms, while those who hate God attack the foundations...Read more

Sufficiency of Scripture 2009 Memory Verse
And that from a child thou hast known
the holy scriptures, which are able to make
thee wise unto salvation through faith
which is in Christ Jesus.
All scripture is given by inspiration of
God, and is profitable for doctrine, for
reproff, for correction, for instruction in
righteousness:
That the man of God may be perfect,
thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
---2 Timothy 3:15-17

SOS Church Leaders Luncheon
Steve is enjoying lunch with Paul Washer, Doug Phillips, Scott Brown and other church elders who will share helpful insights on the life of a church The work of a church leader is often an intense form of spiritual warfare. It can include a life of rejection, betrayal, attack, loneliness, ostracism, misunderstanding and pressure on the family. On the other hand, it does include investment in the precious Bride of Christ. Church ministry can also include blessed friendships and expressions of kindness and mercy that anyone is allowed to experience.

Creation Museum
Be prepared to experience history in a completely unprecedented way.
The state-of-the-art 70,000 square foot museum brings the pages of the Bible to life, casting its characters and animals in dynamic form and placing them in familiar settings. Adam and Eve live in the Garden of Eden. Children play and dinosaurs roam near Eden’s Rivers. The serpent coils cunningly in the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. Majestic murals, great masterpieces brimming with pulsating colors and details, provide a backdrop for many of the settings.
What a wonderful time we had at the museum today. We were able to visit exhibits that we didn't see last summer. We saw people at the museum that we had met at other VF or AIG events and that were attending the SOS conference.
The weather is COLD and WINDY. But we are enjoying our visit to Ohio and Kentucky!!
