It's been over a month since Shepherds' Conference at Grace Community Church (March 3-8, 2015). Around 5000 men flew from all over the world to attend this historic event. Historic because it is different than the past conferences in that it was a summit. The conference was 4 days (when it was 3 before), the number of people that attended doubled from before, the number of General Sessions doubled also, there were many more speakers than before, and the topic was Inerrancy. That is, the inerrancy of Scripture. The Scripture does not have any errors in its original writings.
My two highlights from day three:
Dr. Steve Lawson opens up the morning with the sermon titled The Invincible Power of the Inerrant Word. In it, he goes through 7 symbols/analogies that the Bible refers to itself as, giving the listener a greater reverence and confidence in the inerrant Scripture.
"It is an inerrant word that gives infallible guidance."
Dr. Derek Thomas then preached later that day on 2 Peter 1:16-21. Expounding from this text, Dr. Thomas gives an amazing message on the doctrine of Scripture. The sermon is structured around three questions.
- What does Peter say the Bible is?
- How is the Bible written by human instrumentality?
- To what extent can we be certain that the Bible is God's word written?
