Koinonia Institute's Strategic Perspective Conference 2008


It's about midnight and I just got home after dropping my brother off at his place. We went to Chuck Missler's Strategic Perspectives Conference 2008 on Friday evening and all day today. It was incredible!

It was kicked off by Dennis Agajanian simply put, attacking his guitar. Chick introduced the first speaker, Joseph Farah just after 7pm on Friday night. He talked about the history of sun worship from the tower of Babel days and how this 'Humanism' is destroying us today. He talked about how he feels that homeschooling our children is the first step in reclaiming our nation.

Then Chuck Missler spoke on technology in the bible. He went way over most people's heads, but it made sense at the time. He talked a lot about quantum physics and how atom structure and function is discussed in the bible even though it was written a few thousand years ago.

This morning's lectures began at 9:30 with Joel Rosenberg. His career is very interesting. He prayed for the promise mentioned in Jeremiah 33:3 and decided to start writing fictional novels. God made his stories come true. His first book was about the events that took place on 9/11. Joel's second book was about the U.S. fighting a war with Iraq to get Sadaam. The books were written PRIOR to the events taking place.

Then we listened to Paul McGuire. He's a radio host on KBRT. He talked about how today's clergy likes to dance all around the bible without touching it, instead of standing on it's promises.

Dr. Tim LaHaye was up next discussing why it's important to study prophecy. He stated that God is the ONLY one who knows the end from the beginning and His fulfillment of scripture is proof He exists. I ended up buying one of his books called, "Charting the End Times" and can't wait to take some real time to sit down & go through it.

Ray Comfort was up next. He comes from Way of the Master Radio and empowered all in the evangelizing arena. Ray started out stalling for time because people were coming in late. So He made a whole bunch of lame jokes to grab people's attention. He was actually very funny. He told the same time of lame jokes that anyone's grandfather would tell. I really enjoyed Mr, Comfort's lecture.

Dr. Bob Cornuke told us and showed video of his explorations in search of Noah's Ark, the ark of the covenant, Paul's shipwreck, the rock at Mount Hebron, and the real Mount Sinai. He touted himself as a real life Indiana Jones. The moral of his talk was you might think you're ready to tackle the mountain, but it's the pebbles that will trip you up every time.

General Shimon Erem returned from Israel today, just in time for his lecture of the "Way it Is" in Israel yesterday and today.

And we wrapped up with Walid Shoebat discussing the many differences between the One True God, and Allah. This was fascinating.

I ended up buying the materials for Koinonia Institue's Bronze Medal course. I have to complete four classes to get my Bronze. They are the Old Testament (Berean), the New Testament (Berean), Prophecy 101 (Issachar), and the Spiritual Disciplines (Koinonos). Then I might try to move on to the Silver after that. But we'll just see how this one goes for now.

If it wasn't for God moving in the hearts of my in-laws to invite my girls to the SASCO picnic again this year, I would not have been able to attend.

Thank you God. I pray that you will use what I've got, for your glory!
