Join Us at the Worship of God Conference

This fall NCFIC's annual conference will be on the Worship of God. My father will be a speaker there, we are going, and so should you. They have put out a series of free videos in preparation for the conference. You can watch them here:

White Unto Harvest Conference

Main Secession

This past weekend we attended the annual NCFIC Conference, which this year was called White Unto Harvest and was on the great commission. My father gave a message on evangelism within the church and was on the panel the last day. You will be able to get the audio from these and all the other great messages soon from the NCFIC store.

Sound Doctrine Conference

A few weeks ago NCFIC had a week long Sound Doctrine Conference which we went to. It was an intense study of the Second London Baptism Confession, the doctrinal statement used by our church. Doctrine is important because it defines the way we view all of life. My father was one of the speakers. It was a really good conference, and many people said it was the best they had ever been to. I would recommend getting the audio when it comes out. Here are some pictures.

NCFIC Love the Church Conference Day 2

Friday, the second day of the conference, was the most intense. There was one breakout session before lunch, and two following lunch. I would have like to go to some of the breakouts, but I was assigned to manage the sound in the Hispanic breakout room. Also, the Kendall family sang all three days of the conference. Rachel and some of here friends were working at the Reforming to Scripture book table through the whole conference, but none of us thought about taking any pictures of it.

NCFIC Love the Church Conference: Day 1

Last Thursday, we left at 6:30 am to drive to the Love the Church conference put on by NCFIC. We had to get there a few hours before the conference started so that Rachel could set up the Reforming to Scripture Book table, and also Joshua and I had to go to a volunteers meeting. The first message was around 5:00 pm. Mr. Brown had each of the keynote speakers come up on stage and give a summary of the messages they were going to preach. There were only a few keynotes the first night. I liked Mr. Phillips's message the first night, which was about the gates of Hades not prevailing against the church of God. Below are a few of the pictures from the conference.

Atlanta Roadtrip Stop

Here are a few pictures from the NCFIC Atlanta Road Trip stop from a few weeks ago. We went there with a  total of 21 people from Hope Baptist, and all of us plus the Bradrick family stayed with one very hospitable family, that none of us had ever met before.

Taunton Roadtrip Stop

My father, brother, and I flew up to the Taunton, Massachusetts NCFIC roadtrip stop. We left Friday morning and got back Saturday afternoon. There over 100 people there. My father gave a message titled Indispensable Center of Church and Family Life, which is glorifying God, and another message on relations within the church. On the way back we were one minute late for checking in for our flight, but we were able to get on it any way.

Here are a few pictures that I took from the NCFIC roadtrip kickoff meeting at our church, Hope Baptist in Wake Forest. There were several hundred people there, and Mr. Brown, my father and Mr. Dohm gave messages and Mr. Breagy and other church leaders gave testimonies.

Sufficiency of Scripture: Day 3

The first keynote on the third day of the Sufficiency of Scripture conference was by Kevin Swanson on "The Sufficiency of Scripture and Family Integration." The next message was a breakout. The message in the room that I ran the sound in was Andy Davis on "The Sufficiency of Scripture for Habits of Obedience." Then there was the lunch break. After the lunch break, I was in a talk by Paul Washer on "The Importance of Biblical Family Life for the Spread of the Gospel." It was a very good message. After that was a keynote, which I did not hear. We did not go to The Mysterious Islands screening because we had seen it at the premier in Durham, NC. You can read the post about that here. You can buy the CD Set from the Sufficiency of Scripture conference here.

Sufficiency of Scripture: Day 2

The first keynote on the second day was by Voddie Baucham on "The Sufficiency of Scripture for Manhood and Womanhood." The next message was by Doug Phillips on "The Sufficiency of Scripture and the Heart of NCFIC." The next five messages were break-outs. I ran sound in one of the breakout sessions, which was "Scripture is Sufficient for Women’s Ministry Part 1: Teachers of Good Things." The next breakout, "The Sufficiency of Scripture and Personal Evangelism" by Paul Washer was in my room. It was a very good talk. The last breakout for the day in my room was, "Scripture is Sufficient for Women’s Ministry Part 2: Keepers at Home," by Jeff Pollard. The next message was the keynote,"Is the Sufficiency of Scripture a Bible Doctrine?" by Dr. Joe Morecraft, which I was not able to hear. Then there was another keynote, "Scripture is Sufficient for Ministry to Youth" by Scott Brown. The last keynote was, "The Sufficiency of Scripture and the Gospel," by Paul Washer. I was able to hear most of it and it was a very good message. It made people really question whether or not they are saved, and if they really love Jesus.

Sufficiency of Scripture: Day 1

We arrived in Covington, Kentucky around 2:30 am for the Sufficiency of Scripture Conference. After we ate breakfast at our hotel, we went to the Ohio Book Store. We could not stay very long because Daddy had to go to a leadership luncheon. After we ate lunch, Joshua and I took a box of our book, Sanctified by God, to the NCFIC book table. We stayed over there until the first keynote. The first keynote was by Scott Brown called "Do Not Learn the Ways of the Gentiles." After that Doug Phillips gave a message on "The Defining Battles in the War Against the Sufficiency of Scripture." The final message for the night was by Ken Ham on "Our Declining Church and Culture: the Genisis Connection and How to Continue a Godly Heritage." Joshua and I did not hear the last two because we were helping with recording. We will be posting some pictures later.

Reforming the Church - Family Integrated Church Life Conference

We went to a conference done by NCFIC last Saturday. First there was a message by Scott Brown on "The Implications of the Sufficiency of Scripture." This talk was about how we should apply the sufficiency of scripture. Then after that there was a talk by my dad on "Dealing with a Culture at War Against Church and Family." This was about how we need to resist the influences of the culture. Then Mr. Tsantles gave a talk about "Establishing Biblical Church Life." He talked about his experience of coming to a family integrated church. Then Mr. Churchill gave a talk on "The Role of Fathers in Church and Family Life." This talk was about what a father needs to do.

After that we ate lunch. After lunch Steve Breagy gave a talk on "The Discipleship of Children." This talk is about how to disciple your children in the family and the church. Then my dad did a talk on "Applying the Regulative Principle of Worship." In this talk he went through our church service, and told how each thing our church does is from the Bible. Then Mr. Brown finished up by doing a talk on "The Family's Relationship to the Church." This talk was about how the church relates to the family and how the family relates to the church. I enjoyed the conference very much. I did not have a favorite because I liked them all. We forgot to bring the camera, so we do not have any pictures from it.

Church Life Conference

A few weekends ago we went to an NCFIC conference at our church on church life. The speakers were Scott Brown, Jason Dohm, Steve Breagy and Daddy. Daddy spoke twice. In one message he went through our church service and explained the Biblical reasons for what we do. His other message was called, When Church and Culture Clash. He spoke a lot on the Sunday school movement, and one of his main points is that we have to obey God even when we think that we have better ideas.

Indiana Trip - Day 1

Last weekend we attended the Leadership Summit Conference in Indianapolis which is put on by CHEC (Christian Home Educators of Colorodo.) The speakers were Kevin Swanson, Doug Phillips, Voddie Baucham, and others. We left at 5 a.m. on Wednesday to drive up to Indiana with the Damings, Mr. Brown, David Brown, and the NCFIC Interns. We stopped in the afternoon in Northern Kentucky to see the conference center where the Browns are planning to have the NCFIC Sufficiency of Scripture Conference. It is a very nice facility, and it should be a great conference. After that we left at about 7:00 p.m. and we arrived at the Daming's house in Indiana. We ate some pizza there that we picked up on the way, and after a little while we went to bed. Here are a few pictures:

How the Church can Stengthen the Family Conference

This past weekend we had a NCFIC conference at our church called, How can the Church Strengthen the Family in the 21st Century. This was the biggest conference we did this year. We had several speakers in from out of town, including Kevin Swanson, Jeff Pollard and Bill Einwechter. Scott Brown, Steve Breagy, Jason Dohm and my father, the elders at our church, also spoke. About 300 people from all over the country attended.

My father gave two breakout messages, one on the Lord's Supper, and one on Family Worship. During his talk on Family Worship, he got so animated that people could here him in other rooms! Here are some pictures:




Kevin Swanson was one of my favorite speakers. He is a pastor from Colorado, and he is the leader of the homeschool group in that state. He is very active in his preaching. My favorite message that he gave was called Surviving Tough Economic Times. In that message he spoke on the current economic crisis, and his main point was that even though things are not going well, we should trust God and obey his commands regarding money. It was very good.





Bill Einwechter and some of his family stayed with us during the conference. He gave two messages on women in civil leadership. Here are two of his articles on the subject, on Women Magistrates, and What about Deborah.




Stephen and I helped David Brown to record the messages. Everyone who was on the recording staff had to wear a white shirt, black pants and a black bow-tie. I was in charge of one of the breakout rooms, and I also edited a lot of the messages. It was a lot of fun!

Here are the CD sets we made
