Answers in Genesis Conference, Fall Renewal Services, Project Know Thy Neighbor (Pastoral Emphasis for 9/11)
Radical Experiment 2011 Update
Today and tomorrow, First Baptist Church in Cary is hosting an Answers in Genesis Conference. Similar to the Truth Project, this conference should give you knowledge to refute the dangerous theory of evolution. So I would recommend this evening sessions at 5:30 (Millions of Years: Where Did that Idea Come From?) and 7pm (Noah’s Flood: Washing Away Millions of Years) and the Monday evening sessions at 6 (Origin of Species: Was Darwin Right?) and 7:15pm (Ape-men: The Grand Illusion). Check out this entry on my blog or the flyer on the church bulletin board for more information.
Fall Renewal Services start this Wednesday, September 14th at 7pm and continue on the 21st & 28th. Pastor Maurice Wright of New Destiny Christian Fellowship will kick it off.
As we study Scripture it should convict us and move us into action. Titus taught us that what we believe should affect how we behave. So far Nehemiah has shown us that our compassion for our city should move us into action.
Today, we kick-off a new initiative under the theme Radical Love called Project: Know Thy Neighbor.
Our Scriptural basis is Mark 12:29-31 (ESV): Jesus answered, "The most important is, 'Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.' The second is this: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these."
As Christians, we are to love and serve Christ and our neighbors. You cannot love and serve your neighbor if you do not know that neighbor.
Here's the challenge:
Thanks to the Thursday Morning Bible Study group for their generosity and monetary presentation to our ongoing sacrificial giving campaign.
- Today's Scripture Reading: Ezekiel 37-39
- Today's Country: Namibia (Africa)
- Commit your life to a multiplying community: Commit your life to a local church that needs you and whom you need.
- Spend time in another context: Give some of your time to help make the gospel known outside of your normal context (different community, city, nation).

Here's the challenge:
- Get to know at least 1 neighbor (one that you don't know at all or know very well) between September and December.
- The goal at this time is to establish a relationship but not necessarily share the Gospel (but if the opportunity presents itself to share the Gospel, by all means do it).
