Working On A Curriculum

Just in case all three of my readers think I died, I didn't. Just busy out of my head. I am working on a curriculum for Just The Bible Academy. It will be three years and very intensive with the sole purpose of equipping men to preach and serve. It will be at least two years of Greek and two years of Hebrew. The first year the student will take Hebrew. The second year he will take Greek as well. The third year, the student will finish Greek.

After the first year, all work in specific Bible passages will not be done in English--only the originals!!!! More time will be spent in the OT than the NT, roughly in proportion to the volume of the two testaments.

Practicals will include weekly witnessing and street preaching. (You will be expected to work in the vineyard, not just drink the wine.)

Other than the languages, primary focus will be on Bible survey, exegesis, and hermeneutics. There will also be training in systematic theology and apologetics. The apologetics courses will include an introduction to Western philosophy and a complete biblical epistemology.

Pray for good teachers and accountability for me.

Here are some considerations if you want to consider Just The Bible Academy:

If you want to preach like Jesus, the prophets, and the apostles, join us.

If you are tired of being told to shut up about doctrine, join us.

If you are tired of being told to shut up about false teachers, join us.

If you are tired of being told it is impolite to directly confront false teaching, join us.

If you want to be a fool for Christ, join us.

If you want to be holy as He is holy, join us.

If you know you're a filthy sinner, join us.

If you are a man between the ages of 14 and 120, join us.

If you are sure the Bible is all you need to serve God, join us.

If you want to sacrifice for Christ, join us.

If you want to take part in the fellowship of His suffering, join us.

If you want to see folks get saved, join us.

If you are sick of the compromise in the church, join us.

If you want to think biblically, join us.

If you constantly wish, "I don't ever want to be this sinful again," join us.

If you will take correction, join us.

If you will give correction when it may end in your own disgrace, join us.

If you are willing to work your brains out, join us.

If you don't care about the things of this world, join us.

If you think every day about what you will lay at Jesus' feet when you meet Him, join us.

In Christ,
Phil Perkins.
