CLC 2012
Who are we? Where are we? What is the problem? What is the solution? The answers to these simple, yet profound questions speak volumes about a person’s view of the world and how they live within it.
At this year’s Christian Life Conference, speakers Michael Ramsden and Philip Ryken will help us to explore how a Christian views the world in light of Scripture, creation and the fall — how the Gospel gives us hope and a new way to view the universe. As He accomplishes the redemption of His creation, God renews the thinking of His people. Set your mind on God’s mission. Think, Christian!
