January 30, 2017...Leader Training Material

Greetings on this January 30th, Monday morning. It is my hope and desire that you will gain much help in this edition of my blog.
                                                              
LEADERSHIP APOLOGETICS: Click this LINK for our 107th apologetics short video. I believe there is much to learn from these nationally recognized Christian teachers and philosophers. Today's lesson is "Is the God of Islam the same as the God of Christianity?". 
                       
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 31 lessons (one each week). This is Lesson 15 of 31, "Acts 13:1-15:35;Galatians " from the module: New Testament, Its Structure, Content and Theology with Dr. Bill Mounce 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: "Put God First." Click this LINK.                                                                                     
ADVANCED DISCIPLESHIP: Click this LINK for lesson 15 of a 17 lesson series entitled: Pursuing Spiritual Maturity.  Lesson 15 is: "Pursuing Spiritual Maturity - Pt.2 of 2". The host for this series is Dr. Gregory Brown. I believe that you will profit greatly from this study from Philippians.
                                                                           
HERE'S MY QUESTION: "Was Timothy a pastor or an evangelist?" Click on this LINK .   
                                     
GRADUATE STUDIES: This is Session 7 of 10 under Soteriology (Doctrine of Salvation). Click on this LINK . This lesson is "The Doctrine of Conversion." These are video lessons (they also have an audio version available on the same page). In March 2016, we started the Graduate Program over from the beginning again. These lessons are at an advanced, graduate level of study. If you missed any lessons previously, get them the next time around. You must put your thinking cap on for these studies. They are sometimes difficult, yet profitable. See the box for your choice of media...audio, video, download.
                                                      
COUNSELING HELP: The category is Anger Management. Click this LINK for the  article:"Defusing Anger and Conflict." Be prepared to offer solid advice...share this link with anyone who needs to read this. We have started through the articles on this site from the beginning again. Please note the resources listed. Defusing anger and conflict is something everyone should learn! Parents...heads up.  
                                 
LEADERSHIP QUOTE: "Don't be pushed by your problems; be led by the Spirit." Unknown.
                                    
My desire for you this week is for you not to be pushed by your problems. Be led by the Spirit. 
In His Majesty's service, Dr. Darrell Foltz.
