Greetings on this February 22nd, a non-snowy, I can see the grass Monday morning.
PERSONAL NOTE:
I want to thank everyone who assisted in preparation for the Sunday
worship service. Thank you Dee and the Sanctuary Choir
for the message in song...your ministry in music is appreciated at First Baptist.
LEADERSHIP APOLOGETICS: Click this LINK for our 57th apologetics short video. I believe there is much to
learn from these nationally recognized Christian teachers and
philosophers. Today's lesson is "World Magazine?"
TRAINING THE TEACHER: My purpose here is to provide long-term biblical training for those who are
in church work but may not feel adequately trained in the Bible and
Christianity teaching in general. I want all of you to take this
training (whether you teach or not) because it will better equip you to
teach or live as a disciple of Christ. All of the material for this
training is coming to you by Biblical Training.org. I am linking you to
their site for each of the lessons. You will be exposed to some of the
finest Bible teachers in the country. You will receive Bible Institute
level training. Our session here is one of 12 lessons (one each week). This is Lesson 3 of 12, "The Canon and the text of the New Testament." from the module: Understanding the New Testament with Dr. Craig Blomberg as teacher. Click this LINK for the video lesson. Visit their website and see that there are
different levels for your involvement. By registering with them (free), you
can have access to outlines, transcripts, etc. If you choose to do more
than one lesson each week...go for it! Study at your
pace.
HOPE FOR PARENTS: Click this LINK for the article, "The High Call of Parenting."
ADVANCED DISCIPLESHIP: Click this LINK for lesson 4 of a 24 lesson series entitled: Introduction to Islam. Lesson 4 is: "Revelations, Hegira, Movement". The
host for this series is Dr. Timothy Tennent. This is a much more
extensive study of Islam than our previous essentials' study. I
believe that you will profit greatly from this study.
HERE'S MY QUESTION: "Why are there disagreements on the interpretation of various passages of Scripture?" Click on this LINK . Very interesting answer.
GRADUATE STUDIES: "Marks of a False Church..." This is Session 8 of 10 under Ecclesiology and Eschatology (The study of the Church and future things). Click on this LINK . These are video lessons (they also have an audio version available on
the same page). At
the end of Dec. 2014, we started the Graduate Program over from the
beginning. These lessons are at an advanced, graduate level of study. If
you
missed any lessons previously, get them this time around. You must put your thinking cap on for these studies.
COUNSELING HELP: The category is Guilt and Shame. Click this LINK for the article:"Overwhelmed with Guilt."
LEADERSHIP QUOTE: "Be Impeccable With Your Word. Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean...Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love." M. A. Ruiz. Here is a humorous bonus by that great (and now deceased) baseball player and philosopher, Yogi Berra,
to lighten your day: One day in the dugout, Yogi
tells it, someone said to him: "Yogi, you're ugly." Yogi then replied: "So? I don't hit with my face." You know, it's hard to hurt someone verbally when they won't let it happen!
My desire for you this week is that you fight the good fight.
In His Majesty's service, Pastor Darrell.

Now, think about it for a bit and you will get it. Way to go, Yogi!
