Update: School is Back in Session

by Registrar @LFBI -

Dear Students,

As previously shared, myLFBI experienced a cyber attack a week ago Friday that disrupted the platform and caused some data loss. While no sensitive information was compromised, the incident was clearly intended to create confusion and hinder the work of the Institute. We know the timing was difficult, and we are reminded once again of the subtlety of the Enemy in opposing God's work.

Over the past 11 days, our team has worked diligently to restore the platform, and we are pleased to let you know that myLFBI is now back online and ready for student use.

However, there are a few important updates to share:

  1. Lost Coursework (June 19–22): Unfortunately, some student submissions from June 19–22 were lost in the attack. Those assignments will need to be resubmitted or retaken. Please check your course environment and student dashboard and contact your instructor if you have any questions.

  2. Semester Extension: To ensure you have ample time to complete your work, we are extending the summer semester by two weeks. The new end date is Saturday, August 16 at 11:59 PM (CT).

  3. Change of Password: As part of our effort to improve security, all students will be STRONGLY ENCOURAGED to change the password on their accounts. Instructions for setup are available HERE.  

  4. Technical Support: If you encounter any issues, please don’t hesitate to contact Romeo Bagunu, at his email rbagunu@lfbi.org. 

We deeply appreciate your patience, prayers, and continued support. LFBI is a small team serving a large student body that is counting on us to deliver sound doctrine. We know the enemy would love to hinder this work - - pray he is ineffective and that we are fruitful. 

Isa 55:10 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: 11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper [in the thing] whereto I sent it. 12 For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap [their] hands.

In Christ,
The LFBI Administrative Team

Ep. 234: Leadership Lessons from Titus

by Registrar @LFBI -

 

On today's show, we are taking a close look at the life and leadership of one of the Apostle Paul's most trusted colaborers, Titus. Often overshadowed by names like Timothy or Barnabus, Titus played a critical role in some of the most difficult and delicate ministry assignments in the early church. He is kind of “the fixer" - known for helping troubled congregations get stable and begin implementing discipleship. 

Titus was a man trusted to bring order, integrity and clarity to the local church. So today we're going to ask, what can be learned from his testimony? How does Titus’s example of leadership and oversight provide us with principles for how we should lead in our churches and in our homes?

Whether you're leading in a troubled church, a church plant, a Bible study, or simply trying to be a faithful steward in your home, join us today as we examine the book that bears Titus’s name. Our guest on today's show is pastor Lee Ridings of Greater Hope Baptist Church in Dallas, Georgia.

Ep. 233: The Lord's Supper & the Catholic Eucharist

by Registrar @LFBI -

 

 

The Lord’s Supper or Communion has been one of the most historically debated practices in all of Christianity. For Baptists, this ordinance is a solemn, symbolic remembrance of Christ’s death and a testimony of His promised return. But in contrast, the Roman Catholic Church teaches that the Eucharist is not merely symbolic—it is the literal body and blood of Christ through the miracle of transubstantiation. These two views are not simply liturgical preferences; they reflect deep theological convictions about grace, salvation, the nature of the Church, and the role of religious ritual. 

In this episode, we’ll explore why traditional Baptists reject the Catholic doctrine of the Eucharist. Whether you’re a student of theology or just curious about the differences between Baptists and Catholic views, today’s discussion will help clarify what’s at stake in how the Church remembers the cross.

For this conversation we have invited Jim Alter, pastor of Grace Baptist Church of Sidney, Ohio. Jim is co-founder and editor of the Ancient Baptist Press. Jim is also the founder, curator and lecturer for a traveling exhibition called “Purified Seven Times” which is devoted to educating people about the history of the English Bible. Jim is also co-author of the book Why Baptist? The Significance of Baptist Principles in an Ecumenical Age.
