March 26, 2018...Discipleship Training Material

Greetings on this Monday evening 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 168th apologetics short video. I believe there is much to learn from these nationally recognized Christian teachers and philosophers. Today's lesson is "Was Jesus married?"
                                                                                                                            
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 52 lessons (one each week). This is Lecture 4 of 52, from the module: "52 Major Stories of the Bible" with Dr. Bill Mounce as teacher. Click this LINK for the lesson, "The Flood.". 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.

HERE'S MY QUESTION: "How is the ministry of the Holy Spirit different in the Old and New Testaments?" Click on this LINK to read the answer. Good question. 
                                                 
GRADUATE LEVEL THEOLOGY STUDIES: This is Session 7 of 10 under Soteriology. 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). 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 Guilt and Shame . Click this LINK for the  article:"4 Questions to Stop the Guilt-Trip." Be prepared to offer solid advice...share this link with anyone who needs to read this. Helpful material.
