The apostles called believers to a mindset and lifestyle distinctively set apart from the world. Today’s church by contrast increasingly reflects the entertainment-saturated, consumer-driven values of the godless world system around it. The “salt” is in danger of losing its “saltiness.” Pastors and lay men and women alike are encouraged to attend. This conference is designed to help any believer learn how to make choices that honor Christ—the one “who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father.” (Galatians 1:4). Join the seminary faculty of BJU for this crucial conference as it presents how believers, by rightly interpreting and applying the scriptures, can reject the appeals and ideals of the world and embrace the appeals and ideals of Christ.
