2nd Annual Reformation Conference
ANNOUNCEMENT:
The Second Annual Reformation Conference will be held this upcoming weekend (October 26-28) at the First Baptist Church of the Lakes in Las Vegas. This year’s theme is “Sanctification.” It is often argued that if God is sovereign or if justification is through faith alone then there is no point in being concerned with holiness in everyday living. The sessions in this conference will contend for just the opposite — that holiness is both evident and required in the life of the Christian. The conference will seek to glorify God by:
- Word-centered proclamation which magnifies God’s grace through Christ Jesus
- Encouraging congregational renewal
- Strengthening the ministries of the local church and its pastors
- Exalting God’s name through Christ-centered music
Conference speakers include Dr. John Pretlove and Dr. James Galyon. If you live in the Las Vegas area or near the West Coast (Nevada, California, Utah, Arizona), I hope you will consider attending this conference. Please contact the First Baptist Church of the Lakes at (702) 254-3234 for more information.
Dear Bro Galyon,
Thank you fro the invitation.
You write:
‘It is often argued that if God is sovereign or if justification is through faith alone then there is no point in being concerned with holiness in everyday living. ‘
Who on earth or in hell argues like this? I have never come across it. Would it not be best to argue positively for holy sanctification without spoiling it with a most speculative comparison? The truth does not need an untruth on which to base its legitimacy.
Wish I could join you,
George Ella

I attended the Reformation Conference last weekend and I forgot which verses in the Bible the lyrics to Tom Petty’s song “I Won’t Back Down” were related to. Can you please tell me which verses were these again? Thank you.

Ricky:
I hope that the conference was an encouragement to you. The text was Philippians 3:17-4:1. The lyrics were applied specifically to 4:1: “Therefore, my brothers, whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, stand firm thus in the Lord, my beloved” — “Stand Firm!”
