Sufficiency of Scripture...Family Roadtrip Part 2

Thursday Afternoon/Evening

Above is a picture of heading into the city of Covington for the SOS conference
It was so exciting to finally be arriving at the Northern Kentucky Convention Ctr where 2600 people gathered to hear the most godly speakers/preachers of our day!
They even had a men's chorale, which you can see practicing below. They did a great job, and their music selections were very moving.

This was the first large event held by the NCFIC led by Scott Brown. Here he is below opening the conference.

Recognize any of these men? They did vingettes of each speaker and the message they would be bringing.



Then, Scott Brown, Doug Phillips and Ken Ham each brought a keynote message.

Here is an intro of the conference from the NCFIC website:

We believe that the doctrine of the sufficiency of Scripture is the most important doctrinal battleground in the Church today with the purity of the Church, the supremacy of the gospel, the biblical family, and the
survival of Christian civilization hanging in the balance.
Known as “Sola Scriptura” during the reformation, this doctrine teaches that Scripture is fully adequate in both content and clarity for “everything pertaining to life (salvation) and godliness (sanctification)” including the ordering of nations, churches, and families (2 Pet. 1:3-4; 2 Tim. 3:16-17).
The Church’s desertion of this doctrine in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries resulted in the defilement of nearly every aspect of America, the church, and the home through multiple waves of pragmatic, worldly ideas.

The messages this first night really set the tone for the whole conference.

Here are the Conference Memory Verses:
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 reproof, 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

Sufficiency of Scripture...Family Roadtrip

Well, we made it safely there and back to the wonderful Sufficiency of Scripture Conference!
 I'm going to do a post here about the beginning of the trip to Erlanger, KY/Cincinnati area.


We hit every kind of weather imaginable on the way there...we left in pouring rain....encountered snow and fog
 (both of which are pictured above),
and saw ice on the trees where they must have had freezing rain...
 (You can see that below)

Encountered some SERIOUS Wind!
And even saw a beautiful rainbow!


But, the Lord protected us and gave us, and our friends that also went, safe travel, and we thank Him for it.
Our son, Brad, got some valuable driving experience!

We got to our hotel, unpacked, ate dinner, and went to bed...then woke up to this...


The kids and I were happy, we love snow!
After our breakfast, we hurried over to the terrific Creation Museum. The SOS
Conference included free tickets to the museum! Yippeee!!!
Here are a few shots from that biblical museum...




























From their website:
Welcome and Prepare to Believe
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.

It's a wonderful museum--don't miss the chance to see it if you get the opportunity!
They have an awesome Planetarium too!
