July 17, 2017...Training Material
Greetings
on this sunny, Monday morning. Pray for me, as I will be on "Ask the Pastor" today at 2 pm. 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 out the lesson material over the week. If you put in the time, you will grow spiritually.
LEADERSHIP APOLOGETICS: Click this LINK for our 131st apologetics short video. I believe there is much to
learn from these nationally recognized Christian teachers and
philosophers. Today's lesson is "What is the moral argument for the existence of God?"
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 40 lessons (one each week). This is Lesson 8 of 40,"Impassable, Immutable, Omniscient, Omnipotent" from the module: A Guide to Christian Theology with Dr. Gerry Breshears 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: "What Your Kid Isn't Telling You." Click this LINK.
ADVANCED DISCIPLESHIP: Click this LINK for a multi-lesson series entitled: Colossians: Christ Revealed - The Hope of Glory. This is lesson 5: "Knowing the Message of Reconciliation." The
host for this series is Dr. Gregory Brown. I
believe that you will profit greatly from this study from Colossians.
HERE'S MY QUESTION: "What happens to unbelievers between death and being cast into Hell?" Click on this LINK .
This question is important, because there is a fair amount of confusion on the subject. It's in the details. The author uses the word "soul" in one place where I would use the word "spirit"...technical, but important.
GRADUATE LEVEL THEOLOGY STUDIES: This is Session 1 of 10 under Bibliology and Hermeneutics. Click on this LINK . This lesson is "Class Introduction and Authority" These are video lessons (they also have an audio version available on
the same page). As of May 8, 2017, 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 Counseling. Click this LINK for the article:"Christian Counseling: What is it?" Be prepared to offer solid advice...share this link with anyone who needs to read this.
DAILY JOURNEY: This is a brand new addition to the blog. This material is from John Ankerberg. July 17...Daily Journey Entry. LINK.
LEADERSHIP QUOTE: "The authority of the Bible comes not from the calibre of its human
authors but from the character of its divine Author." John Blanchard
My desire for you this week is that you recognize the authority of the Bible.
In His Majesty's service, Dr. Darrell Foltz.
