Dr. Jim Johnson will speak on how “Ancient History Corroborates Genesis History.” In this presentation Dr. Johnson explains how the history presented in Genesis is corroborated by ancient Chinese pictographs, archaeological discoveries, and Flood stories from all over the world. The pictographic language preserves a memory of God, creation, Adam and Eve, mankind’s sin in the Garden of Eden, the serpent’s role in tempting the first couple, Adam and Eve’s eviction from Eden, Cain’s murder of Abel, blood sacrifices associated with gaining righteous standing with God, the Genesis Flood, and the Tower of Babel. Did you know that the Moabite Stone corroborates a prophecy in Genesis? This kind of information is more than just interesting—it’s important for personal apologetics and personal evangelism!

Dr. Jim Johnson will speak at Fruitland Baptist Church in Muscatine, Iowa. Some think apologetics is limited to answering inquirers who ask about the Christian faith. Others think apologetics is a fancy word for defending the faith. But the Scriptures provide four very different purposes for how we learn and use creation evidences (and what the New Testament calls “many infallible proofs”) to affirm and promote our biblical faith. Christians are regularly faced with “scientific” attacks on the first 11 chapters of Genesis. Dr. Johnson will explain how the Bible easily makes sense of the historical and scientific evidence as well as give a special afternoon presentation on Thanksgiving. Read more »

Dr. Jim Johnson will speak at Fort Madison First Baptist Church in Fort Madison, Iowa, on “Genesis on Trial: Five Witnesses Testify for God.” If Genesis is on trial, who is the judge? What are the authorities and evidence rules used to judge it?According to the Lord Jesus, it is Genesis that actually puts each of us on trial. In this presentation, Dr. Johnson discusses five important witnesses of God’s truth that support the message of Genesis—the physical creation (including quintillions of witnesses you might not have thought about), the non-physical uniqueness of humans (made in God’s image), the Holy Bible (which is completely unique and perfect in many ways), the historic incarnation of Christ (and His time on Earth by which the world split human history as B.C. and A.D.), and a very unusual witness called “providential history” (which includes two scary surprises). Also included in this presentation are two facts of Viking history that forever shaped human history, including the lives of every American, as well as everyone who speaks English around the world. Dr. Johnson explains why these five witnesses are relevant to our personal lives. Following this presentation Dr. Johnson will give a special message about the holiday of Thanksgiving. Read more »
