This week FBBC started its spring semester of our Bible Institute. This year marks the 19th year of the Kings Bible Institute (KBI). Last evening I started Preparation & Preaching II. I really love teaching verse by verse studies of various books of the Bible. What a joy it is to open up the AV 1611 and examine this pure, perfect Bible in great detail with the students. The second greatest thrill for me is teaching the pastoral classes such as Prep & Preaching and Church Administration to those men who have a desire to be involved in the ministry one day. I have 5 men in this class who also took P&P I last semester. I pray that I will be a blessing to these men this semester.
After class I quickly left to make an appointment I had scheduled and it was an appointment I did not want to miss or reschedule. There has been a lady attending our church with her saved husband for about a year now. She has believed that she and God were on the same page and she believed that her soul was fine. However, during the last few months she has been under conviction and just within the last few weeks got saved. She really didn't say anything to anyone but her husband noticed that she was reading the bible I gave to her about two months ago. She read the bible faithfully everyday. I recently received a birthday card from the two of them and she wrote a brief statement in the card to the effect that she appreciated my help in her getting saved. She then told my associate pastor that she wanted to be baptized. I immediately set up the appointment for last night. So, after class I drove straight to their home and heard from her that she truly had been saved! I am on shouting ground! PRAISE THE LORD for HIS working in her heart these many months! So, she will be getting baptized this Sunday morning! THANK YOU LORD for allowing me to see things just like this over the last 26 years!
