September 10, 2018...Discipleship Training Material.

Greetings on this September 10, Monday morning. I'm sure that you noticed, I took last week off. 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 190th apologetics short video. I believe there is much to learn from these nationally recognized Christian teachers and philosophers. Today's lesson is "How do we make friends with an atheist?"                                                                                                                                                                       
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 26 of 52, from the module: "52 Major Stories of the Bible" with Dr. Bill Mounce as teacher. Click this LINK for the lesson, "Lamentations, Confession and Faith.". 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: "Why Porn Could Bring Down This Generation of Teens." Click on this LINK.                                                                                                                                                                                                             
ADVANCED DISCIPLESHIP: Click this LINK for a multi-lesson [new series] Parables of Jesus.  This is lesson 29 of 30: "The Talents."  The host for this series is Hampton Keathly, IV. I believe that you will profit greatly from this study of Jesus' parables.

GRADUATE LEVEL THEOLOGY STUDIES: This is Session 9 of 10 under Introduction to Theology. Click on this LINK . This lesson is "Does God Still Speak Today?" These are video lessons (they also have an audio version available on the same page). As of July 2, 2018, 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 Menopause and PMS. Click this LINK for the  article:"Dealing with PMS?" 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. September 10  LINK ...Daily Journey Entry.

My desire for you this week is that you pass the Word on.
