WELCOME!

Welcome to the 2010 Restore Conference: A Quest for More. We are glad you are taking
advantage of this tremendous opportunity. Convinced of these biblical truths, we believe
as we learn to “seek first his kingdom,” we will experience the fullness of life for which we
were created.
We are excited to welcome Dr. Paul Tripp as our keynote teacher. As Dr. Tripp teaches
from the Scriptures over the next two days, there exists great potential for God to move
within our hearts and bear much fruit in our lives. Imagine what lasting effects there may
be in our community as hundreds of us increasingly find our life in God’s kingdom and not
in our own kingdoms.
We are grateful for the unique opportunity to partner together across denominations as
members of the universal Church. We do not do so to say that doctrine does not matter
– but quite the opposite. We do so to demonstrate the vital unity we have around the
foundational truths of our faith – the sufficiency of the Scriptures and the centrality of the
substitutionary work of Jesus.

If you should have any needs during the conference, volunteers are stationed around the
facility and are glad to serve you. We invite you to take time to browse some of the resources
available for you in the conference bookstore. Also, to help you continue in what you learn
from this conference, check out the “Taking it Home” portion of this conference program.
There you will find some questions to help your family or small group pursue continued
application of the truths you are learning this weekend.
The pastors of both Clemson Presbyterian and Crosspoint are available if you would like
prayer or would like to talk more about how you can live for God’s kingdom.
Thank you for being here. May God cause us to increasingly live for His kingdom.

You live in a fallen world. The temptation is everywhere. It’s hard not to love the world
and the things that are in the world. It’s hard to love an invisible God more than the
visible things that surround you. It’s hard not to offer God a few pieces of your life while
retaining most of it for yourself. It’s hard not to reduce your walk with God down to a
formal, external religion that lays no claim to the interior on your life. It’s hard to grasp
that you actually have to die before you can live. It’s hard to grasp that your life is no
longer your own. - Paul Tripp
