LIVING FAITH BIBLE INSTITUTE

The church has been fitly joined to accomplish God’s will in this world. This is confirmed in Scripture. Ephesians 4:16 says, "From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love."

God has provided each individual with unique gifts that they might contribute to the work of their local church to meet the needs of the brethren, and achieve the objectives of the Great Commission.

Like many biblical teachings, there have been confusing and false teachings surrounding the subject of spiritual gifts. The Christian predilection for spiritual experience has given way to justifying much of these false teachings.

Today on the Postscript, Provost of Living Faith Bible Institute, Brandon Briscoe, will be discussing spiritual gifts with Dr. Chris Best, Missiology instructor at LFBI – asking what the Bible has to say about the gifts and how they function to further our faith and God’s will.

Hello Students,

As we approach week eleven of the semester, please keep your weekly assignments and semester projects a priority. All of your classes require you take a weekly quiz - so prioritize your lectures and quizzes by not waiting until the last minute. All of your classes require reading - so prioritize time for reading so that you are best prepared for your essays and book reports that are due at the end of the semester. 

We believe that each LFBI class should contribute to your maturity, discipline and growth in knowledge. Now is the time to double down and cross the fall semester finish line in strength.

We are praying for you,

The LFBI Staff

Hello Students,

As we wrap up first quarter, please keep in mind that there are several courses that begin next Saturday. Join us in either credit or audit options.

Baptist History (Axe, Briscoe, Shelby) - Although the lineage of the Baptist denomination is abrupt, complicated and at times perplexing, the Baptistic distinctives can be traced throughout church history. This course deals with important moments and people that helped shape the theology and traditions of Baptists. Further, students will explore what can be learned from the various moments, men, methods, and means within the Baptist heritage.

Youth Ministry (Grasher) - This course will cover the topic of ministering to teens in the local church. Students will learn about how to envision, initiate, develop, and oversee youth ministries.

In our lectures, we will take time to discuss the psychological and social developmental stages of teens and how that impacts the strategies of youth ministry. We will also address the practical issues related to administration and organization of youth activity.

Realities of Biblical Discipleship (Morgan) - This course explores the practical realities of envisioning discipleship in the local church, from a leadership perspective. We will clearly define discipleship and distinguish it among many other contemporary Christian perspectives.

The implementation of a biblical discipleship ministry in the local church is as important as the ministry of discipleship itself. This ensures that our view and approach to making disciples is biblical.
