When? January 5 – 8, 2009
Where? Crossroads Bible College, Indianapolis, IN
What? Teaching Module: Biblical Theology of Old Testament Temple Worship
Crossroads Bible College is a remarkably strategic ministry, carefully and sacrificially training men and women for ministry, largely in urban settings. I have long admired Crossroads from afar, and had gotten to know some of the faculty since our family’s move to this area. But this was my first opportunity to share in the ministry. It was a delightful experience. I was impressed with the selfless and charitable spirit of all those with whom I rubbed shoulders in the course of the week. A person could hardly be treated with greater kindness. The students who sat in my class were hungry to learn because they were hungry to serve, and obviously convinced that the effectiveness of their service was a function of their knowledge of and submission to the Word of God. The college demonstrates a well-defined and animating sense of mission. The course assigned me gave me opportunity to push back the boundaries a bit on the students’ grasp of the Old Testament, always a delight. The insights and contributions of those students made the week to be a true fellowship of learning. Indeed, the week at Crossroads Bible College impressed upon me once again the nobility and strategic importance of those many ministries which are not as celebrated as some – perhaps not as celebrated as they deserve to be, but which touch and change lives for God’s glory day by day and year by year. For more in that regard, see the post above.
bookman,
scott burns here. I, for one, feel like i am finally ready to listen to the classes you taught me 17 years ago. The title of this course makes me really wish i had some way to listen to you teach on teh subject. Do you have any resources around (video/ audio/ written) that can be downloaded for us stuck in california?
Scott,
Great to hear from you, my friend. Drop me a line on e-mail (dougbookman@bookmanministries.com) and give me a mailing address. I do have some cd’s – one on the life of Jesus and the other an Intro to the Pentateuch; I would be glad to send them along if you’re interested. Mighty nice of you to ask. 17 years seems like a long time, doesn’t it!
