Why does apttoteach exist?
|
Purpose The title "Apttoteach" comes from the Greek word DIDAKTIKON in I Timothy 3:2 "a bishop then must be . . . apt to teach;" The purpose of Apttoteach.org is to provide a resource to the Body of Christ
that will assist teachers and students in their study of the Scriptures so
that, as a result, a balanced, sensitive, and irenic community serving Jesus
Christ, emerges. The material on this site is specifically
designed to supplement the teaching ministry of Jim Abrahamson. It is our aim
that all who avail themselves of this learning resource and its information
will be: á
Informed of the truths of the Scripture, in a
comprehensive, balanced, irenic, and concise manner that is spiritually,
socially, and intellectually responsible. á
Inspired in mind and heart to interact with the concepts
and ideas presented so that spiritual edification takes place and a unified,
loving, community glorifying Jesus Christ through faithful service, is
promoted. á
Impowered to behave in a wise and loving manner reflecting
the image of God in a broken world. |
