Big Events

We have two big weekends coming up at Lord of Life. This coming weekend Carl Kerby will be with us from Answers in Genesis (www.answersingenesis.org). He will be speaking on Sunday morning about the relevance of Genesis today. Two further presentations on Sunday evening are called: "Fossils - Friend or Foe" and "Racism - the Biblical Answer."

Here is a bit of Carl's biography:

Carl Kerby, who is one of AiG’s most dynamic lecturers on the book of Genesis, is a founding board member of AiG (1994). He is also considered the "father" of AiG’s highly popular and acclaimed website, which is now recognized as one of the most-visited religious websites in the world (with up to 94,000 visits/343,000 page views per day!) and which won the prestigious "Website of the year" award in 2006 by the 1,400-member National Religious Broadcasters.

Carl’s passion is to proclaim the authority and accuracy of the Bible, and he does so in a highly effective way for all audiences. He is much in demand as a speaker to both young people and adults, with some of his popular talks being available as DVDs, These include: Racism: Is There an Answer?, What Is the Best Evidence That God Created?, and Genesis: The "Bottom Strip" of the Christian Faith. He is also one of the presenters in the award-winning DVD series for teens called "Demolishing Strongholds," which received the 2008 Gold Crown Award for "Best Youth Film."

In addition, Carl is the author of Remote Control and is a contributor to the book War of the Worldviews. He is currently writing a semi-autobiographical book of his life ("No Holds Barred") as the son of a famous professional wrestler and the unique challenges he faced growing up-and how God delivered him from that strange world to eventually become part of the international apologetics ministry of AiG. A former air traffic controller at Chicago’s busy O’Hare International Airport, Carl’s thrilling testimony has been shared in churches throughout America and many overseas (including Japan, where he has spoken in several churches).

And of course on January 17 and 18th we will be celebrating the 20th Anniversary. Over the past week I have been posting pictures on my blog from the past 20 years. Make sure to check it out. If you have not registered for the dinner yet, make sure to R.S.V.P. at www.lolchurch.net.

I am really looking forward to these next two weekends. I hope you are two. Please join me in praying that God will use these two events in a powerful way. Pray for the opportunities to invite friends and family and others to come. Pray for this to be a time of encouragement for all of us. Pray that we would be edified through our special guest speakers.

I know that 2009 is going to be an incredible ride. It's great to have you on the journey.
