Quakertown Conference on Reformed Theology “The Sufficient Word”

Quakertown Conference on Reformed Theology to host its 15th Annual Event, “The Sufficient Word” on November 11-12. The conference, which is held at Grace Bible Fellowship Church 1811 Old Bethlehem Pike in Quakertown, PA is $45 per attendee; $35 for pastors, and senior citizens, and groups of five or more.

“Scripture is authoritative,” said Rev. Ron Kohl, senior pastor of Grace Bible Fellowship.  “it’s inerrant. It’s infallible. And it’s sufficient.  It is enough to equip Christians to know what to believe and how to live a life that is pleasing to God.”

The conference’s subject will be the Bible as the Word of God in its authority, sufficiency, clarity, trustworthiness, relevance, and as its own story.  It will include six lectures given by seminary professors, authors, and ordained pastors, Drs. Daniel Doriani, Richard Phillips, and Harry Reeder.

“In a world filled with uncertainty and denial of authority, the Bible is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path,” said Kohl, who points to the statement by renowned protestant reformer, Martin Luther: “I have covenanted with my Lord that he should not send me visions or dreams or even angels.  I am content with this gift of Scriptures, which teaches and supplies all that is necessary, both for this life and that which is to come.”
