February 26, 2018...Discipleship Training Material

Greetings on this late, Monday entry. 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 164th apologetics short video. I believe there is much to learn from these nationally recognized Christian teachers and philosophers. Today's lesson is "Does God Command Human Sacrifice?"
                                                                                                                    
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 40 of 40, from the module: A Guide to Christian Theology with Dr. Gerry Breshears as teacher. Click this LINK for the lesson, "Why I Use Different Translations.". 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.

ADVANCED DISCIPLESHIP: Click this LINK for a multi-lesson [new series] Parables of Jesus.  This is lesson 3 of 30: "The Parable of the Unforgiving Servant."  The host for this series is Hampton Keathly, IV.

HERE'S MY QUESTION: "Would you please explain the gift of tongues as it relates to us today?" Click on this LINK to read the answer. Notice his observations. 
                                                 
GRADUATE LEVEL THEOLOGY STUDIES: This is Session 3 of 10 under Soteriology. Click on this LINK . This lesson is "Predestination, 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.

DAILY JOURNEY: This material is from John Ankerberg...his thoughts about various Bible passages. February 19...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."

My desire for you this week is that you and I study God's Word.
