Opening of SCEN classes was postponed for a week but things finally got under way. Now it’s Friday and I can say I finally met 32 first year students, worked on learning their names and generally kept my wits about me in following a checkered morning and evening class schedule. What really helped in all this was prayer. Also, reasonably good planning and a homemade cappuccino mixture that I carried along to class.
The subjects I am teaching? One is the Doctrine of Man. Once we get man created he doesn’t do well and ends up fallen and dead. Then God’s great plan kicks in to restore men to spiritual life through an incarnate Christ, great news for all who accept Christ’s salvation (Doctrine of Christ). However, at this point Christ leaves earth temporarily. What now? Not to worry, Christ sent another Counselor (Doctrine of the Holy Spirit) so redeemed men can make steady progress living & witnessing by His power while awaiting Christ’s return. Another great resource in this mix: God’s Word, the Bible. That’s where Bible Study Methods enters the picture to give first year students the joy of discovery in personal Bible study. This past week served as an introduction in all these subjects. Next week the real work begins!
