The conference opened to the thunderous singing of 4000 men. It was an incredible time as usual.
John MacArthur opened the conference in the Word this morning. It was an amazing time as he exhorted us to look at Genesis one as foundational to Scripture. He said that our attitude toward Genesis one and what we believe about creation signals what we believe about the rest of the Bible. If we deny Genesis one then where do we stop denying the truth of Scripture.
He gave us three words to hang our hats on:
I. Fidelity: Either we believe Scripture or we don't!
II. Simplicity: It is simple; God created everything for His glory!
III. Priority: God's priority is redemption!
He went on to admonish us about the "green movement". He pointed out that man sinned and God cursed creation. We cannot save this world for it is passing away and God has said that He will destroy it when it has fulfilled its purpose. We are to be good stewards and work to subdue the Earth. He said that the most advanced societies are the ones who have learned how to subdue the Earth. If we don't subdue the earth then it will kill us. The ones who suffer the most in this movement are the very poor.
