Greetings!
|
Generation Word continues to make hundreds of Bible classes and messages available online at generationword.com. We are at a time in our society where pastors and parents must take up positions in the last line of defense to educate and empower a generation with the  Truth. In an effort to help make our culture aware of basic Bible doctrine we began a new series on Sunday called "Basic Doctrine." The Monday night and Wednesday night Bible school classes continue through the "Framework" textbook. This Saturday, November 7, Galyn Wiemers will be signing books at the Connxions Bookstore and Event Center in Urbandale, Iowa at the same time Connxions will host an appearance by Christian music industries' #1 band Mercy Me.

Basic Doctrine
|
This Sunday, Nov. 1, we began an new series entitled "Basic Doctrine" in our Sunday morning church service. Since only 0.5% of our population ages 18-23 have a Christian worldview and only 9% of the adult population understand the basics, I thought it would be appropriate to instill some basic orthodox doctrine. Our fist topic was Bibliology which covered God's view of his written word including inspiration, and inerrancy. (Free RealPlayer download to watch video.) Audio - Basic Doctrine: Bibliology (Sunday, 10/1/09) - mp3 Video - Basic Doctrine: Bibliology (Sunday, 10/1/09) - RealPl. Notes - Bibliology - study of Scripture ("Framework" ch. 52) |

Visitors from Nigeria |
 Ngo and Mary, from Nigeria, are studying veterinary science through the University of Iowa in the USA. They have been attending church services and Wednesday night Bible school classes with us at Faith E. Free in Audubon, Iowa during this six week period. Mary's husband is a pastor in Nigeria and Ngo just celebrated her and her husband's one year anniversary. We have, of course, provided them with books and have connected with them on Facebook! |
Two of Jeremiah's Political Opponents Confirmed Historically
|
 - A bulla (an impression made in clay with a seal) that bears the name Yehuchal ben Shelemyahu, or Jehucal son of Shelemiah, found in David's royal palace mentioned in Jeremiah 38:1 and 37:3. In Jeremiah 38 Jehucal accused Jeremiah and helped lower and confine Jeremiah in a cistern. In Jeremiah 37:3 Jehucal was sent by the King along with a priest to ask Jeremiah to pray for the crumbling nation.
- A bulla (SEE PHOTO) found underneath the northern tower that bears the name Gedalyahu ben Pashhur or Gedaliah son of Pashhur,
who is also mentioned in Jeremiah 38:1 as assisting in Jeremiah being
confined to a cistern in the courtyard of the guard. In Ezra 2:38 the
family of Pashhur returns to Jerusalem from Babylonian captivity and is listed with the names of the priests. (Note: these two men, Jehucal and Gedaliah,
are mentioned in the same verse in Jeremiah 38: 1 and are described as
working together in the royal palace against Jeremiah. Now,sometime
during the last few months, since I was in Jerusalem and had a chance
to look at Mazar's excavation, bullae
with the names of these same two men impressed along with their family
names have been found within a few feet of each other in the same royal
palace the Bible says they worked!)

"I committed to doing a Bible Study of the Book of John with someone . . . I'd been praying to the Lord for Bible Based TRUTH that could
facilitate this study as I would NOT want to cause confusion or do
false teaching in any way. Then I found your website! I am so excited to take your notes tonight and start this walk through John."

"I have just come across your web page while I was looking for studies on hermeneutics.
It is absolutely fantastic. Even the way you communicate information that some might
consider to be 'plain boring.' You recognize the necessity for it to be taught and it's relevance.
You relay it with such energy, excitement and enthusiasm. There is such a transparency in
the way you teach . . . In my view God has given you the ability to teach, so much so,
that hearers don't want you to stop. As a result I am encouraged by you to continually
give myself to the constantly reading and studying of the Scriptures."
