May 2, 2017...Training Material

Greetings on this rainy, Tuesday morning. Excuse the lateness of the blog...I was near Chicago over the weekend, into Monday (and I did not fall this time). It is my hope and desire that you will gain much help in this edition of my blog...but you do have to study. Take your time...stretch it out over the week. If you put in the time, you will grow.
                                                                                    
LEADERSHIP APOLOGETICS: Click this LINK for our 120th apologetics short video. I believe there is much to learn from these nationally recognized Christian teachers and philosophers. Today's lesson is "Advice to study with an open mind?". 
                                       
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 28 of 31, "I and II Peter; Jude" 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: "Spiritual Heartbeat." Click this LINK.                                                                                                           
ADVANCED DISCIPLESHIP: Click this LINK for a multi-lesson series entitled: Nehemiah---Becoming A Godly Leader.  This lesson is: "When Revival Continues." The host for this series is Dr. Gregory Brown. I believe that you will profit greatly from this study from Nehemiah.
                                                                           
HERE'S MY QUESTION: "What are the historical origins of infant baptism?" Click on this LINK .   
                                                 

GRADUATE LEVEL THEOLOGY STUDIES: This is Session 10 of 10 under Ecclesiology (Doctrine of the Church). Click on this LINK . This lesson is "The Rapture and the Afterlife." 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 Anxiety. Click this LINK for the  article:"Overwhelmed by Anxiety?". Be prepared to offer solid advice...share this link with anyone who needs to read this. Please note the resources listed.

DAILY JOURNEY:  This is a brand new addition to the blog. This material is from John Ankerberg. May 2...Daily Journey Entry. LINK.
