Promos, Conferances and Kid!

About two weeks ago David came over and helped me make a promo for Biblical Blueprints. It turned out pretty good. You can see it here.

On Friday two weeks ago my family and I went to Des Moines, Iowa for a conference for fathers. The speakers included Kevin Swanson, Peter Bradrick and Scott Brown. It lasted through Saturday night. Two days later on Monday, my family and I left to go sponsor a Super Worldview Conference in Atlanta. Three 14 hour days full of lectures. That was a lot of fun.

And if you read the title you noticed that I have kid in there. Why? Because I'm an uncle as of a few weeks ago. That's right, my older brother Joel and his wife Cherie are having a baby.

Don't You Believe It Book Review

Don’t You Believe It!
By A.J. Hoover

Reviewed by Ben Kayser
Pages: 132
Rating: 7/10

Don’t You Believe It, by A.J. Hoover goes through 25 logical fallacies that are commonly used today. Although he doesn’t give an in depth look into logic itself, this was still a very helpful book. Hoover always starts his chapter with two quotes that apply to the logical fallacy. He then goes on to explain the fallacy and what it means. Many times he will use political speeches, secular books or atheistic arguments as examples of logical fallacies (which is fun to read when you’re a Christian). When he’s finished shooting down weak arguments, he likes to end with a comic strip (usually peanuts). The thing I liked about this book better than other logic books is that he used real life examples other than hypothetical situations. If you want a basic short easy read from a Christian perspective, I would suggest this book.

Paradise Restored Book Review

Paradise Restored, written by David Chilton. I must say that this was the simplest explanation of Post-millennialism I have ever heard. That doesn’t mean it was easy to understand though. I will try to summarize the book as best as I can. (Reading this review doesn’t mean that you don’t have to read the book. I’m trying to inform you on whether or not you should read it.) Mr. Chilton splits the 24 chapters in 5 parts.

Part 1:An Eschatology of Dominion
Mr. Chilton starts the book off with hope. He doesn’t declare that the ant-Christ is with us. He doesn’t predict when the world will be consumed by fire. He doesn’t suggest that we sit back and let evil take over. He starts off with declaring the hope from the scriptures. Psalm 72:8 “He shall have dominion also from sea to sea,
And from the River to the ends of the earth.
Those who dwell in the wilderness will bow before Him,
And His enemies will lick the dust.”

Part 2: Paradise: The Pattern for Prophecy
In this section he goes through all of the Biblical imagery used in the Bible. He goes through why we were created and what the theology of Dominion is. He explains that Christ didn’t come to be defeated by the devil.
1 John 3:8, “He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.”

Part 3: The Gospel of the Kingdom
The common eschatology today is that this world will get worse and worse until Christ comes back to take us home. Well, what did Jesus say? Mark 4: 30-32, “Then He said, “To what shall we liken the kingdom of God? Or with what parable shall we picture it? It is like a mustard seed which, when it is sown on the ground, is smaller than all the seeds on earth; but when it is sown, it grows up and becomes greater than all herbs, and shoots out large branches, so that the birds of the air may nest under its shade.”
The kingdom of God started when Christ came. It started with a handful of people and grew just like Jesus said. Then people will bring up Matthew 24 and remind me of the great tribulation. Those people seem to forget verse 34 where Jesus tells them that it will happen soon. REALLY SOON! As my friend Matt Blackburn pointed out, when people say “soon” they usually don’t mean thousands of years. The great tribulation was judgment on Jerusalem. Mr. Chilton also deals with the anti-Christ and the last days in this part. Just read the book if you want to read that part.

Part 4: Studies in the Book of Revelation
In this part, Mr. Chilton goes through the book of Revelation and explains many of the symbols. He also shows us who the beast of Revelation is, and how we know it. (I’m not telling you who it is. You have to read the book.)

Part 5: To the Ends of the Earth
In this last section, Mr. Chilton explains how we can apply the great commission to our lives.

Conclusion: With the way our nation is going, I was starting to worry. But reading this book put everything into perspective. One thing I must add is that it was a very easy read. It could have been titled “Post-millennialism for Dummies.” But the best thing about the book is that it was FILLED with scripture. I doubt you could find a single page that didn’t have scripture in it. All I can say is, “YOU should read this book.”
