!CREATION IS CRUCIAL CONTEST! WEBSITE
There will be a creation contest at the Creation is Crucial conference on October 12, 2024. Think of innovative ways to share why creation is crucial and submit your ideas to share at the conference, with attendees, church leaders investors and online! There will be prizes and scholarships in 2 categories for the winners, creation evangelism (witnessing) and creation is crucial!
The Bible teaches creation throughout the Bible (Gen. 1-2, Mark 10:6-7, 2 Peter 3-7,13, Col. 1:16, Rev. 4:11, 14:7, etc.) as a powerful reason to worship our Creator (Rev. 4:11), but predicts deceptions about creation/the flood (2 Peter 3:3-5). God then calls people to “Worship him who made the heavens, the earth, the sea, and all the springs of water.” (Rev. 14:7). So creation is extremely crucial for us to focus on always, but especially in the period before Jesus comes!
Categories:
1) CREATION EVANGELISM: Paul used creation to prove God to pagans (Acts 17:22-28). In this category, create a project that shares powerful evidence/proof for God as our Creator (and/or debunks deceptions about creation). Show how to use this to convince people that creation is important, it is true, helps them believe in their Creator Jesus, deepens their knowledge of their Creator, etc. If at all possible include real examples of how it’s been effective!
2) CREATION IS CRUCIAL: Creation has had profound value in inspiring/advancing science, advancing human rights/justice, solving real world problems, advancing education for all and many other things in history. Create a project that shows how concepts of our Creator are very important now to protect or improve lives, solve real world problems, ideally in relation to a major current issue.
