Mr.
Carl Kerby
Talk 1: Remote Control: The Power
of Hollywood on Today’s Culture
Talk 2: Jurassic Park or Jesus: Who
Knows More?
Date: February 8th, 7:00pm
Rocky Mountain Creation Fellowship is honored
and privileged to have Mr. Carl Kirby from Answers in Genesis
as its’ February Fellowship speaker.
Carl, who is one of AiG’s most dynamic lecturers
on the book of Genesis, is a founding board member of AiG.
He is also considered the ‘father’ of AiG’s highly popular website
(with up to 50,000 daily visits!). In addition to being AiG’s vice
president for ministry relations , Carl manages to conduct several
faith-building AiG meetings each year.
His passion is to proclaim the authority and
accuracy of the Bible, and Carl does so in a highly effective way
for all audiences. He is much in demand as a speaker to both young
people and adults. As a former air traffic controller at Chicago’s
busy O’Hare International Airport, Carl’s thrilling testimony has
been shared in churches throughout America.
From his air traffic
control days, Carl states that whenever an air traffic controller
looses his focus, the trainers immediately tell them to go to
the bottom of the plane list that they have in front of them.
Carl then related that this is how Christianity should work. When
we get confused about the issues of the day, we must go to the bottom
of the list, the foundation if you will, which is the Word of
God, specifically the book of Genesis. His big focus was how
the church must get back to believing the Scriptures fully, and
that this would help in our evangelism.
Carl has been in
great demand and has been speaking just about non stop for the last
few years. Carl told of some interesting interactions with people
at a speaking session in Parkersburg WV:
“Here in Parkersburg,
WV, I had an interesting comment. A public school teacher came up
to me after the talks and said, “I’m a Christian and a public school
teacher. Everything that I’ve taught over the years contradicted
what you taught today. You’ve now convinced me that I was wrong!”
Very cool! I had another elderly lady really have a go at me about
the gap theory. We talked about it for about 20 minutes and she
just couldn’t accept that there was no gap. She ended her part with
that it just didn’t matter to her salvation. So I challenged her
with, “What about the salvation of the next generation? If you are
free to compromise on what the Bible teaches so clearly in Genesis
why can’t they compromise where it states that Jesus is the only
way to salvation?” She thought for a moment and then said, I can
understand what you mean about reaching the next generation, I’ve
got to think about this.”
Carl will be speaking
twice that nigh. Here is his talk information:
Remote Control:
The Power of Hollywood on Today’s Culture
Today’s Christians
are so used to the teaching of millions of years and evolution that
they no longer notice how prevalent it is in our everyday lives.
In this talk Carl shares numerous examples from Comic books, TV,
Movies etc. showing how much indoctrination is taking place.
Even in ‘family friendly’ materials there are blatant teachings
that are undermining our young peoples ability to trust the Word
of God. This talk will help Christians to get their ‘radar’
turned on in order to catch these falsehoods. It will also teach
parents how they can use the media as a way to start communicating
the truth of God’s Word.
Jurassic
Park or Jesus: Who Knows More?
Ask this question
in the church today and almost every Christian will ‘say’ Jesus!
The only problem is that when asked specific questions about dinosaurs
Christians will answer with a ‘Jurassic Park’ mentality! Using
clips from the wildly popular ‘Jurassic Park’ movies Carl shares
what is being taught in the movies but then contrasts it with what
the Bible teaches and science really shows. This is a very
powerful multi-media presentation that will help all to differentiate
between ‘fact’ and ‘fiction’!
Bring a friend
to the meeting, especially one who thinks Creation and Genesis is
not important. There will be refreshments after the meeting
in our fellowship hall and there is no cost for this engagement.
If you are interested in becoming a member of RMCF, please call
RMCF at (303) 525-5500 or email us at talk@youngearth.org.
DVD’s will be made of Carl’s talks and will be available that evening.
Hope to see you all there.
