For those of you who sympathize with Acts 3:6a and absolutely cannot come up with $20 to register for the conference then you have an alternative. We are giving away one free conference registration and t-shirt to the person who gets the most people to register by June 15. You will need to have the person that you get to register write your name on their registration form indicating that you were the one that told them about the conference. This will not be available online. You will be contacted by the end of the week if you are the winner. If you have already registered and paid for the conference your money will be refunded. Go nuts and tell all your friends and family about EWG10!

I would like to remind you that the last day for early registration is Tuesday June 1. That is exactly one week away. After June 1 the registration jumps to $30 a head.

I would also like to inform all the families attending that there is a family discount. We're giving a a free registration to your child. Every one parent can register one child for free. Parents, you're most important ministry is to your kids. Your job is to teach them the Gospel and to be an example of the Gospel to them. We want you to bring your family to this conference, hear the teachings, and go home and talk about what all of you learned. Mommy, Daddy, Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle, and Aunty. Bring your kids to this conference. You will benefit from it as well as your kids and grandkids. This registration will only be available at the participating churches/ministries and over the phone.

T4G Affirmations and Denials

As Entrusted With the Gospel, we seek to lift high the main thing, the gospel of Jesus Christ. We know that there are a lot of denominations that will be attending the conference so we would like to inform you on what we affirm and deny. As I said above we want to stand united for the gospel which is the "main thing." Therefore, the affirmations and denials will be about the main thing. A great conference that is coming up in April, Together for the Gospel (T4G), has put together an excellent list of affirmations and denials. We are going to accept them as our affirmations and denials because we agree so closely with them. Here's the link:

I encourage you to visit this website and read it all. May God be glorified as we count down the months till EWG'10!

Soli Deo Gloria!

Update on EWG'10

We're starting to put together the Entrusted With the Gospel Conference '10. Yes, this is the first year we're making this conference open to the public. So, no, you didn't miss it last year unless you attend Kahului Baptist Church. If the latter is true for you then, yes, you did miss it last year.

This year will be different in several ways. First, it will be a 3 day event. Last year it was an 8 hour event. Second, we will be extending the conference to the public and other churches around Maui County and even Oahu. Third, and probably the most exciting, Lamp Mode recording artists will be providing the teaching. Lamp Mode recording artists Shai Linne, Json, and DJ Essence have been coming out to Hawaii for the past 2 years to do concerts on Oahu, Maui and the Big Island. This year they will be doing the same but they will also be teaching at EWG'10.

I have personally been blessed and encouraged whenever I have the opportunity to fellowship with them. I am especially encouraged by their passion to preach the cross of Christ. There is no other message more important than the message of the Gospel.

"For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures." 1 Corinthians 15:3-4

Paul, when he came to a people that were ridden with idolatry, sexual immorality, and paganism, didn't come with eloquence of speech, self-help techniques or Ph.D's because he "decided to know nothing among [them] except Jesus Christ and him crucified." 1 Corinthians 2:1-2.

Paul also says,

"But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again: if anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed." Galatians 1:8-9

So then, what is the Gospel? I was looking at the Together For the Gospel website and they had a great explanation of the Gospel. Here it is:

The Gospel is the joyous declaration that God is redeeming the world through Christ (Matt 1:21; Luke 1:68; Eph 1:7; Col 1:20), and that he calls everyone everywhere to repent from sin and trust Jesus Christ for salvation (Mark 1:15; Acts 2:38; 17:30).

Each of us has sinned against God (Rom 3:23), breaking his law and rebelling against his rule, and the penalty for our sin is death and hell (Rom 6:23). But because he loves us, God sent his Son Jesus (John 3:16; Eph 2:4; 1 John 4:10) to live for his people’s sake the perfect, obedient life God requires (Rom 8:4; 1 Cor 1:30; Heb 4:15) and to die in their place for their sin (Isa 53:5; Mat 20:28; 26:28; Mark 10:45; 14:24; Luke 22:20; John 11:50-51; Rom 3:24-25; 4:25; 1 Cor 15:3; 2 Cor 5:21; Eph 5:2; Heb 10:14; 1 Pet 3:18). On the third day, He rose bodily from the grave (Mat 28:6) and now reigns in heaven (Luke 22:69; 24:51; Heb 8:1), offering forgiveness (Eph 1:7), righteousness (Rom 5:19), resurrection (Rom 8:11), and eternal blessedness in God’s presence (Rev 22:4) to everyone who repents of sin and trusts solely in Him for salvation.

This is the Gospel. This is the message of the Bible. This is the very thing that unites all born again believers in the world. When the Gospel of Jesus Christ is the main thing then all denominational lines disappear. This is what Entrusted With the Gospel '10 is seeking to reaffirm. We want to reaffirm the biblical Gospel as the central focus of the Church and the Gospel as the Church's main message to the world. Keep an eye on this blog for updates on EWG'10.

For now, pray for the event and for the speakers. Pray that God will provide as he has so faithfully in the past. Pray that the churches around Hawaii will come and stand united for the Gospel. Pray that the Church will rise up to stand for the true biblical Gospel and forsake the "feel good gospel."

Soli Deo Gloria,
