What is the summit?

The summit is personal transformation.

Biblical Authority: we will hold the Bible above us as our authority while striving to help everyone understand and apply it.

I’d like to help you have more confidence in the Bible than what you currently have.

Nothing sucks like an Electrolux

Ke-kou-ke-la

Bite the wax tadpole

Ko-kou-ko-le

Happiness is in the mouth

Eat your fingers off

Pepsi will bring your ancestors back from the dead

The Bible as rule book (laws, morals, and thou-shalt-nots).

The Bible as story book (fairy tales and children’s stories).

The Bible as outdated and out of touch (pro-slavery, anti-women, and homophobic).

The Bible as a secret code book (the lotto numbers hidden in the margins, or information on aliens, and who shot JFK).

biblios, meaning book

66 books written over a period of 1500 years in over a dozen countries, on three continents, by over 40 different people

poets, prophets, princes, kings, sailors, soldiers, attorneys, doctors, farmers, scholars, shepherds, priests, historians, fishermen, tax collectors, and businessmen

caves, ships, homes, palaces, prisons, and deserts

history, law, poetry, songs, prophecy, sermons, and letters

How do you get that many people over that amount of time, from that many places saying the same thing without contradiction?

There were about 40 writers, but only one Author. Men may have been holding the pen, but God was the one communicating.

A contradiction occurs when separate accounts of the same incident cannot be reconciled.

The Bible affirms some things we now know about our universe that mankind didn’t know at that time it was being written.

The earth was flat.

The earth had to be held up.

The number of stars could be counted.

Jesus trusted it.
