Bible-Based Theological Training Available to All

No-Tuition Fees for World Class Bible-Based Theological Training Available to All (Enroll Now for Free!)

Many here on Facebook and elsewhere contact me, seeking my financial assistance in obtaining training for Christian ministry. I help them as I can to achieve this worthy goal. But I know that such formal training is beyond the reach of a great many who might do excellent service for God in winning men to His kingdom. I also know that there is a far better education that lies within the reach of nearly all, and at nearly no cost--a world-class, even universal-class education. That is the hand-copying of the Bible, after the instructions given to the ancient Hebrew kings in Deuteronomy 17:18-20.

I have had the benefit of seven years of specific ministry training on the college and post graduate levels, as well as the practical experience of working under seven lead pastors in ministry formation before being ordained as a Seventh-day Adventist pastor in my own right by the authority of our world church organization. Yet, if I had to choose between those formal educational opportunities, or the value I received from obeying God's instructions, and hand-copying the Bible cover to cover...well, there is no contest at all. The hand-copying of the Bible is the gold, and every other educational opportunity God afforded to me is silver, copper, brass, stone and wood by comparison. It is of value, but not of highest value.

So I urge all who read this, and who seek educational opportunities to fit themselves for God's ministry to do as He Himself directs you and all: Get yourself a binder of blank paper to write on, your own Bible you will be ministering from, and some black ink pens. I would suggest you begin with Matthew's gospel, and copy through to the book of Revelation first. Then go back and begin in Genesis with the 4/5ths of the Bible we call the Old Testament after that.

If you do this, you will have a world class education on all levels, and need never bow your head in any company anywhere on our planet because of what you may perceived to be a lack in your educational advantages. You will have been trained by God Himself, entered into, and completed His assigned course of study to prepare you for ministering accurately, completely, and under the Spirit's authority and power in His name. If you settle only for such instruction as you may obtain even from the finest of theological instructors and mentors, there will ever remain gaps in your education that will manifest themselves in your character, your teaching, and your leadership.

The Bible contains three things of greatest importance, and in their fullest measure:

1. The Message we are to preach.

2. The Methods by which this message is to be delivered.

3. The Mandate that authorizes us to preach that message anywhere, any place and any time, as God directs.

If you are a Gospel Worker already in service, or especially if you are a young worker just beginning your life's work, read Deuteronomy 17:18-20 carefully and prayerfully. Then if you are willing to take up this God-assigned duty, and hand-copy God's Word, so that you may down load the "software" of Scripture in its entirety into the "hardware" of your brain's computer, let me know. We are establishing a mutually-supporting online "Scripture Copying Seminary" that will encourage this form of preparation for entire ministry, and which will recognize the achievements of those who take up the work of intellectual, spiritual, and practical education directly from the Word of God itself.

We would like a suitable name for this venture, and are open for suggestions as we are in the initial stages of our online Scripture-copying Seminary, whose purpose is to fit world-class leaders for service among God's people by means of the very educational process He Himself enjoins on them in His Word.

Those working most closely with me on our growing ministry team here in the beautiful mountain river valleys of north central Washington State are being encouraged to enroll in our new seminary. Perhaps in time we will even have a location where people can come and live as they engage in this process of education, along with other helpful and practical additions of training. This is the core curriculum for a life time of fruitful ministry, and holds first place among all the other instruction that follows.

Pray God will give us a suitable, beautiful, and appropriate location for a seminary after the order of those who kept the knowledge of the Word of God in their language alive by this and similar means during the 1,260 years of the Church in the Wilderness (See Revelation 12 for details.) Our region here, with its green, clear-flowing river valleys, its pine, fir, and spruce covered steeps, its rocky crags and waterfalls, and mountains rising up to the glaciers that remain even in the summer's heat is a perfect setting for the return to such methods as God Himself has appointed for those who would serve His people and seek to win others in Jesus' name.
