Greetings
on this snowy, December, Monday morning...I believe winter is here. 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 154th apologetics short video. I believe there is much to
learn from these nationally recognized Christian teachers and
philosophers. Today's lesson is "World Religion or a Cult?"
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 desire 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 Lecture 30 of 40, from the module: A Guide to Christian Theology with Dr. Gerry Breshears as teacher. Click this LINK for the lesson, "Church.". Visit their website and see that there are
different levels for your involvement. By registering with them (free and necessary), 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: "Tips for Creating a Great Family Christmas." Click on this LINK. You need to be aware of this if you are a parent!
ADVANCED DISCIPLESHIP: Click this LINK for a multi-lesson [new series] Bible Teachers Guide, Abraham: Living the Life of Faith. This is lesson 9 of 15: "Becoming a Friend of God." The
host for this series is Dr. Gregory Brown. I
believe that you will profit greatly from this study from Genesis.
HERE'S MY QUESTION: "Is man responsible for the sins of his wife because he is the leader of the home?" Click on this LINK to read an answer.
GRADUATE LEVEL THEOLOGY STUDIES: This is Session 3 of 10 under Humanity and Sin. Click on this LINK . This lesson is "What is Man?... Pt.2" 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 of study is Faith . Click this LINK for the article:"How to Know God Personally." Be prepared to offer solid advice...share this link with anyone who needs to read this.
DAILY JOURNEY: This material is from John Ankerberg...his thoughts about various Bible passages. December 18...Daily Journey Entry. LINK.
LEADERSHIP QUOTE: "R C Sproul addresses the question of why we don't study the Word of God -
"Here then, is the real problem of our negligence. We fail in our duty
to study God's Word not so much because it is difficult to understand,
not so much because it is dull and boring, but because it is work. Our
problem is not a lack of intelligence or a lack of passion. Our problem
is that we are lazy." - Knowing Scripture, 1977.
My desire for you this week is that you open your Bible and study it.
In His Majesty's service, Dr. Darrell Foltz.
