1. WHAT MATTERS ETERNALLY Dr. Jobe Martin Pensacola, Florida 2006

2. ECCLESIASTES 12:1 “Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them.”

3. GOD’S WILL FOR CHRISTIANS: BE DISCIPLE- MAKERS! Matthew 28:19, 20

4. DISCIPLE-MAKING STARTS AT HOME Are we sending our children out as missionaries or as mission fields? “But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear.” 1 Peter 3:15 Can our children defend the faith?Can our children defend the faith?

5. WE ARE LOSING 57%-88% OF “CHRISTIAN” YOUTH AFTER FOUR YEARS OF COLLEGE! Friends with Campus Crusade for Christ tell me, “If we don’t get the Christian kids within the first six weeks of their freshman year [of college], we’ve lost them to the competing worldviews.” How do we lose them?

6. WE CANNOT DEFEND THE FAITH! Where did Cain get his wife? How did Noah get all the animals on the ark? Aren’t Christians really polytheists? Wasn’t the Flood of Noah a local flood? Aren’t the days of Genesis long periods of time Hasn’t science proven the universe is billions of years old? Isn’t starlight millions of years old? Didn’t dinosaurs go extinct 60 M. years ago?
