Issues - 10 Ultimate Questions

The conference will focus life’s ultimate questions, the issues everyone faces in life.
What are these tough, challenging questions? There will be small group, breakout sessions and panel discussions on each issue.

1. World Religions: Is there only one true religion? How are we to respond to people of other religions?

2. Free Will: Do world events, and my life in particular, have any meaning or purpose? Is my life determined?

3. Authority: Is the Bible the only word of God? Is the Bible relevant for the modern mind? What about biblical authority?

4. Science: How do we relate faith and the supernatural to an age of science? Is faith relevant to the modern mind?

5. Miracles: Are miracles, prayer and providence relevant in a scientific age? Where does faith fit in modern medicine?

6. Interpretation: Does a biblical worldview call for a contemporary application of biblical hermeneutics? Do old interpretations need to be questioned?

7. Evil & Suffering: Why do bad things happen to good people? Where was God on 9/11 and when terrorists kill the innocent?

8. Death: Is there life beyond death? How is the biblical worldview of death different from other worldviews?

9. Morality: Does the biblical worldview provide relevant guidelines for human behavior today? What about alternative standards?

10. Art & Worship: How does the biblical worldview relate to contemporary music, worship styles, the arts and culture
