7/17/11 - IN THE MAIL - POSTAL MAIL:  Master's Monthly Minute Links was mailed last Wednesday.  If you are a student or graduate, your copy should have arrived or will arrive very soon.  Let us know what you think!

NEW:  me!
7/10/11 - More new YouTube viewing - this time new staff and faculty videos with more on the way!  CLICK HERE.  Pass it on to a prospective student.
6/25/11 - New YouTube introduction for prospective students, but student and graduates may also appreciate seeing it.  CLICK HERE.  Pass it on to a prospective student!
6/12/11 - THE WORST ADVISE I EVER GOT FROM A CHRISTIAN LEADER - is a true account of misunderstanding, misinformation, and missed opportunity.  Last week, I sent this article to several thousand prospective students, but I think everyone would profit from reading it [read].
6/6/11 - Last week, I started encouraging each new prospect to listen to an audio challenge entitled "Serious Business."  My prayer and my goal is to make crystal clear where Master's stands on three critical issues confronting the evangelical community in America.  In this way, prospects will know whether or not MISD is right for them.  Even though it is addressed specifically to prospective students, current students, graduates and friends of MISD may also wish to listen.  Click HERE.
5/22/11 -  Last evening I finished teaching Biblical Apologetics online.  Students came from several states of the U.S., and three other nations.  These online live seminar courses are absolutely terrific!  I wish every MISD student would take at least one course in the online live format.  The fellowship is wonderful, and the learning experience is of the highest quality.   [Full Details.]
5/15/11 -  ANNOUNCING- Master's 2012 On-Site Graduation Events October 7 - 8.  [Full Details.]
5/8/11 -  JUST CONFIRMED - 2012 ISRAEL TRIP now scheduled for March 1-10, 2012.  Come with me to the Holy Land.  [Full Details.]
5/1/11 - Master's has completed the rollout its new web!   Check it out:  www.mdivs.edu.
4/17/11 - PALM SUNDAY is how we refer to the Sunday before Resurrection Sunday.  I have always liked the thought of changing the "u" to an "o."  That would make it PALM SONDAY, and Resurrection Sonday.  After all, it is all about the Son!  However we refer to it, this is the time in the Christian calendar when we observe the reason for our true riches.  "Thanks be unto God for His unspeakable gift" (II Corinthians 9:15 KJV).
4/10/11 - YET ANOTHER HISTORIC AGREEMENT!  Master's new institutional partnership with the International Ministerial Fellowship is an another historic agreement between MISD and a key evangelical organization.  Get all the details:  www.mdivs.edu/imf.html.
4/3/11 - HISTORIC - that's what it is!  Master's new academic partnership with the Institute for Creation Research is an historic agreement between MISD and ICR.  Get all the details:  www.mdivs.edu/bca.html.
3/28/11 - What exactly is "saving faith?"  Saving faith can be described as "obedient confidence in the claims of the Gospel of Jesus Christ" (Romans 1:5).   We are saved by such a faith and called to live by such a faith (Romans 1:17).  Such obedient faith is not to be confused with being saved by doing things (Romans 3:28).  It is not to be confused with ritual (Romans 4:11-13).  The knowledge source of such faith is the Word of God (Romans 10:17).  The effectual source of such faith is the grace of God (Ephesians 2:28).  The ultimate consequence of such faith is peace with God, and the assurance of eternal life (Romans 5:1,2).  Therefore, we conclude that righteousness flows from saving faith.  That is, to be made right with God, and to live right, is a product of saving faith.  In fact, without it, righteousness is impossible (Hebrews 11:6).  I pray dear reader (whether you may be Jew or Gentile) that you have such a faith.
3/14/11 -  Is Abraham really the spiritual father of both the righteous Jew and Gentile?  According to St. Paul he is.  "We have been saying that Abraham's faith was credited to him as righteousness. Under what circumstances was it credited? Was it after he was circumcised, or before? It was not after, but before! And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised. So then, he is the father of all who believe but have not been circumcised, in order that righteousness might be credited to them. And he is also the father of the circumcised who not only are circumcised but who also walk in the footsteps of the faith that our father Abraham had before he was circumcised" (Romans 4:9b-12).   Notice that there was a faith "before" circumcision.  There is no such thing taught in Scripture as righteousness preceding faith.  In fact, it can be demonstrated that righteousness is not even possible apart from saving faith.  More on that next...
3/14/11 -  Paul's logic in Romans 4 leaves no room to argue for righteousness by means of anything but faith.  He is unequivocal in asserting that Abraham was justified by faith long before the law.  Therefore, by the same faith all are justified and made righteous before God.  Faithful Jews may rightly claim Abraham as their spiritual father.  Faithful Gentiles may rightly claim Abraham as their spiritual father.  This is why Paul wrote "Therefore, the promise comes by faith, so that it may be by grace and may be guaranteed to all Abraham's offspring - not only to those who are of the law but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham.  He is the father of us all" (Romans 4:16 NIV 1978).  It is instructive to bear in mind that Abram (Abraham) when called by God was actually a Gentile (as were the rest of the world's inhabitants).  More on that next...
3/7/11 -  A very special thank you to all who faithfully prayed for our trip to Israel. The Lord's protection was with us on may occasions. The trip was a wonderful and blessed experience.   Over the next few weeks, I will be compiling my thoughts concerning issues of righteousness that relate to both Gentiles and Jews.  More to come...
2/20/11 -  Master's and it's learning partner, Bridges for Peace are sponsoring an Israel trip February 23 - March 4.  We have a great group of 25 travelers.  Please keep us in your prayers.  This will be my third return to Israel, and I am 100% ready to go. We do not expect that the events unfolding in Egypt will have any bearing on our journey, but it is an amazing thing to think of going back to the Holy Land in 2011 knowing that Israel and Egypt still exist after so many millennia.  The Scriptures tell us about both nations, and teach us that they will endure until the return of Christ.  Well, they are still here!
2/14/11 - The world has been watching Egypt.  One of the questions being raised is how events will impact Israel.  However it may eventually turn out (and we pray for peace), is it not an amazing thing that Egypt IS, and Israel IS?  Thinking of it in terms of Biblical prophecy - the very fact that each nation still IS should give us something akin to a spiritual chill up our spine.  Never doubt it, God is going to make good His promises!
2/6/11 - This week, Dr. Frazier and I will be teaching Biblical Theology in a residency seminar at the Divinity School.  These are all advanced students, who are themselves competent Bible scholars.  They will come from across the United States.  The weather this week looks "dicey."  Please pray for traveling safety, good health for everyone attending, and that Dr. Frazier and I will teach under the anointing of the Holy Spirit.
1/31/11 - Master's and it's learning partner, Bridges for Peace are sponsoring an Israel trip February 23 - March 4.  We have a great group of 25 travelers.  Please keep us in your prayers.  This will be my third return to Israel, and I am 100% ready to go. We do not expect that the events unfolding in Egypt will have any bearing on our journey, but it is an amazing thing to think of going back to the Holy Land in 2011 knowing that Israel and Egypt still exist after so many millennia...just as the Bible said they would.
1/24/11 - Even though theological distance education is not a new thing, many people still wonder what kind of person makes the choice to earn a ministry degree by studying online rather than attending classes at a local institution.  My best answer is located at http://www.mdivs.edu/mdsalumnilinks.html.  Click and you will see for yourself.  If  you are not already a student or graduate, you may want to be!
1/17/11 - There is death, and there is life.   Death is what the world is about.  Life is what Christianity is about.  That's why Jesus said, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life" (John 5:24 KJV).  I don't have to be a Christian; I WANT to be a Christian.  Why face death when you can face life?
1/10/11 - Two days ago, a monstrous evil was carried out against Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, which spilled over in the murder of so many bystanders.  Among the dead was Christina-Taylor Green, a beautiful nine-year old girl.  Strangely enough, little Christina-Taylor was born on September 11, 2001.  Earlier that morning, she went to mass at St. Odilia's Catholic Church where she had received her first Holy Communion.  Her soul is safe in the care of Christ, but the unspeakable tragedy of her senseless death, wails out to our world in deafening echoes.

Some are saying that the cause stems from the rancorous political climate of the day, others point to the ease with which guns may be purchased, while others cite the lack of security for elected officials.  None of these are the cause.  The cause is the same as when one out of four persons on earth was a murderer.   When brother murdered brother.  The truth is that  the beast does lurk in the darkness, he has come to kill, and to destroy.  Christ has come that we might have life.  The wages of sin is always death.  Let us therefore, pierce the darkness, expose the beast, reflect the True Light, and let us do it with all of our strength.
1/1/11 - They say, "Happy New Year!"  I do too, but I really prefer "Blessed New Year!"  There is something about "happy" that seems worldly and shallow...too contingent on circumstance.  "Blessed" seems tied to providence, grace, and the faithful care of our Father in heaven.  Therefore, BLESSED NEW YEAR!  Psalm 5:12
12/30/10 - As Christians we have the advantage as we anticipate 2011.  We know Who knows tomorrow, and therefore, anticipate the new year with a confidence born of faith.  If we have fears, they are tempered by our confidence in Him.  If we have hopes, they rest on His unchanging grace.  As we go, we go not alone.
12/22/10 - CHRISTMAS AWAY FROM HOME - very possibly you have experienced it..  I have, and I do not care to repeat it..  Mary and Joseph were the first couple to experience it....down in Bethlehem, away from Nazareth.  But the the Incarnation did as well...far down from heaven, on earth.  That's what Christmas is REALLY about.!
12/17/10 - As I write this, America's political leadership is deeply divided over the fate of legislation still pending in the U.S. Congress. The national economy is a mess, and millions of American's are either out of work or fearing to be so.  The only lasting solution to our problems is that we turn to the Christ of Christmas.  He was, He is and He ever shall be the answer.
12/16/10 - Dr. Frazier and I just finished teaching an advanced seminar course on the New Testament.  The students in this class are among the finest servants of God.  Four of these men are connected to our learning partner Bridges for Peace.  If you are not familiar with this organization, I recommend you get to know about their unique and powerful ministry.
12/15/10 - In John chapter 6 Jesus repeatedly refers to Himself as "the bread of life."  There is a wonderful connection to this revelation and the place of His earthly birth.  Bethlehem literally means "house of bread."  Coincidental?  Certainly not!
12/14/10 - "After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea," (Matthew 2:1a NIV).  I have been privileged to visit the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem.  If it does not venerate the exact spot where Jesus was born (and it may), it certainly is close enough.  What is amazing is that Bethlehem is there.  Think of it, Bethlehem is, and so is the Christ born there so long ago.
12/13/10 - We begin the Advent season now in earnest.  Words, names and places that I associate with it are: incarnation, Immanuel, angels, virgin conception and birth, Mary, Joseph, Jesus, Bethlehem, Nazareth, peace, shepherds, wise men, star, glory, Messiah, salvation, light, and the shadow of a cross 33 years into the future.  I am joyful, but I weep.
12/10/10 - Speaking of no excuses,  I'd like to recognize Dr. Isaac Adebayo, our graduate from the Republic of Niger.  Want to be inspired?  Check out his intro:  http://www.mdivs.edu/limelight.html.  It does not even begin to tell the whole story.  This is a fine man of God with a wife totally dedicated to their ministry calling.  They are worthy examples.  God bless them!
12/9/10 - Over the years, we have graduated folk in their 80's, cancer survivors, recovering stroke victims, and those who suffered heart attacks.  Some graduates continued studies right through fires, floods, hurricanes, tornados, and even abandonment and divorce.  They did not whine, they did not complain, they did not quit.  An excuse was not their way out.
12/8/10 - A tuition increase of 15-20% is expected at most U.S. colleges and universities in 2011. The loss of income from contributions and endowments, as well as creeping inflation is forcing tuition upward.  Unfortunately, Master's is experiencing the same pressures.  Those who plan to enroll some time soon, really ought to do so before Dec 31st.
12/7/10 -  Just launched -  the  Master's Educational Consortium.  What is The Master's Educational Consortium?  It's a family of Master's affiliated institutions of Christian higher education.  Those of you who are used to seeing the Divinity School home page when you go to www.mdivs.edu will now first see the Consortium's main entry page.  Check it out!
12/6/10 -   NEW THEOLOGICAL INSTITUTE launches today.  Christians around the world who are looking for a low cost, self-contained study of the historic doctrines of Christianity, and the fundamentals of Biblical Counseling will find the MASTER'S THEOLOGICAL INSTITUTE ideal.  We are excited about this latest venture.  Please help us spread the news!
12/2/10 - People often wonder what kind of individuals choose to earn their degree through Masters.  The best answer is found on our web site in two places.  First, an extensive volunteer list of our alumni's ministry web sites.  Click HERE.  The second is a testimonial page.  Click HERE.  What you will discover is that our students and graduates are the "real deal."
12/2/10 - It was reported yesterday that a record amount has been spent on pre-Christmas shopping online, one billion dollars in one day alone!  I can understand why.  It's easy, convenient, no traffic jams, no pushing, no shoving.  If you want to do your Christian Christmas shopping online, Master's has the best online bookstore - period!  Click to shop online.
12/1/10 - I've  had the privilege of teaching about a half-dozen of our new Online Live Seminars.  In a word, they are "terrific."  One of the best learning environments I've experienced.  We've had students from all across the U.S. & many countries.  The technology makes it seem like we are in the same room.  To learn more click To learn more click here.
11/30/10 - It seems as if there is a disease diagnosis for just about every kind of bad behavior.  Well, I'd like to add one.  It's call it the "Degree Disease."  It afflicts a lot of people, including some ministers of the Gospel.  Actually, I can't take credit for the term.  I first heard it from a friend about ten years ago.  The disease is real.  If you want to learn more, click HERE.
11/29/10 - Theological distance education has come a long way since I first became involved over 30 years ago.  Two great blessings stand out.  First, distance education is now mainstream.  Gone are the days when it raised eyebrows.  Second, is the increasing acceptance of degrees from high quality unaccredited schools.  Click to learn more!
11/24/10 - Like most Americans, I plan to take a break during the Thanksgiving weekend.  Before I do, I'd like to thank everyone associated with Master's for helping to make 2010 another "mission fulfilling" year.  Most especially, I would like to thank the MISD staff and faculty who are among the best of the best in Kingdom work.  GOD BLESS YOU EACH ONE!
11/23/10 - With the passing of time, I have become less fond of "things" and more fond of "them."  Them being the people who I love, and by whom I am loved.  True treasure is trustworthy relationships, whether that of my wife of 43 years, our children and grandchildren, or friends as dear as kin.  For the loved ones in my life, I am sincerely full of thanks!
11/22/10 - Thanksgiving is a time for reflection, appreciation and recognition.  As each blessing flows to us from the Creator, the Thanksgiving holiday draws us upward toward God.  The Doxology is actually a Thanksgiving hymn, which is reflected in its opening verse; "Praise God from Whom all blessings flow."   YES, WE PRAISE AND THANK HIM!
11/19/10 - There is no good English word for the Greek "agapao" which we translate as "love."  It is the highest form of goodwill and benevolence.  It needs no reward.  It is its own reward.  I Corinthians 13 gives a detailed description.  There is nothing in humanism (which is selfish at its core), that comes even close.  Not much faith, hope or love without God!
11/18/10 - "Hope" is confident expectation.  It's a strong word.  Christians confidently expect to actually live eternally.  Such hope guides, controls, comforts, and stabilizes us in an otherwise mad world.  Crush hope, and you destroy the future.  Humanism accepts no life beyond the grave.  It promotes only a mad rush to the undertaker.  It's a lousy way to live or die.
11/17/10 - The word "faith" can be parsed in many different ways, but at its core, faith in God is an embrace of His character demonstrated in obedience.  That is, we follow after Him because of who and what He is.  Humanism's god is man.  We know who and what man is, and that's why we vote him in and out of office so frequently.  Faith?  Not much.
11/16/10 - The two great pillars of human civilization are faith and hope.  The foundation upon which they rest is selfless love.  St. Paul expanded upon this in I Corinthians 13.  Wherever faith, hope and love are adulterated or wanting, civilization is in peril.  Humanism has bullied its way into the world court of ideas.  What does it contribute to faith, hope and love?
11/15/10 - This past Friday and Saturday, I once again had the privilege of teaching an Online Live Seminar.  In addition to students in the U.S., there was one student in Australia, and one in Kyrgyzstan.  The two-day learning experience was extraordinarily rich.  These online live seminars are terrific.  If you haven't, you ought to sign up for one right away!
11/12/10 - The NIV translates two words in I Peter 1:18 as the  "empty way of life."  The word translated "empty" is "mataios" meaning essentially "devoid of force; " while "way of life" is the single word "anastrophe," meaning basically "the conducting of life."  Secular humanism is a way of life being handed down to millions, and it is empty...totally empty.
11/11/10 - VETERAN'S DAY.  With the deepest respect, I salute my fellow U.S. Military veterans.  In particular Arthur McGinn, USA, my father-in-law now deceased, whose right arm remained at Guadalcanal (WWII); also MISD alumni veterans, team members Dr. Crandall, USN, Dr. Frazier, USAF, and my son Troy, USN.  Dennis D. Frey, USN 1964-1969.
11/10/10 - My reading last evening in Wiley's Theology was most encouraging.  Wiley suggested that God did not create mankind as mere circles of individuals, but as interconnected circles that constitute a continuous stream of human life in which, and through which, we are each  linked to God's eternal plan and purpose, and made complete in Christ alone.
11/9/10 - The practice and promotion of Biblical Counseling has been central to my ministry.  I am therefore, excited about the expansion of the Master's Theological Research Institute, and the launch of the new M.Sc. and Ph.D. degree programs in Biblical Counseling.  I pray that God will be pleased to bless this new venture.  More: www.mtri-edu.org.
11/8/10 - The Apostle Peter states that we can "participate in the Divine nature and escape the corruption in the world cased by evil desires" (II Peter 1:4b NIV).  It's by the  the Spirit of God living in us that we "participate in the Divine nature."  Anyone living a corrupt life, DOES NOT have the Divine nature (Romans 8:9), and remains trapped.  No ifs, ands or buts.
11/5/10 - Christians occasionally complain about preachers using "big words" - big words like propitiation, satisfaction, expiation, and atonement.  Perhaps such comments are partly responsible for the increasing use of  "little words."  Do you know the meaning of those big words?  If you are a preacher you had better, even if you don't use them (very often).
11/4/10 - For the past several years, I have had the privilege of teaching a Wednesday evening Bible study.  It's one hour of straight study.  Last night I received a "card shower."  No special occasion, they just  thanked me for teaching the Word of God.  We've been in the Book of Romans for almost two years.  Christians hunger for the Bible, not entertainment.
11/3/10 - The voting is over.  Voting is a uniquely God-ordained right.  Remember when Joshua said "choose you this day whom ye will serve" (Jos. 24:15 KJV)?  God created us with free will.  In this life, we get to cast only one supremely important vote, and our eternal life depends upon getting that one right.  My big vote went to Jesus a long time ago!
11/2/10 - Today is election day.  The right to vote is ultimately determined not by the right "to" life, but by the right "of" life.  If I die one hour (even one minute) before I cast my vote, I have no vote.  I have a right to vote because I am alive.  As I cast my vote today, I will above all other considerations, vote only for those who are pro- life.  I pray that you will also.
11/1/10 - Today and tomorrow in the U.S. it's all about the mid-term elections.  I believe every Christian has every right to vote, and an obligation to vote.  I also believe that every Christian ought to vote according to Biblical standards.  That may not be a party vote, or a popular vote, but it ought to be a prudent vote cast as a child of God, not as a citizen of the world.
10/29/10 - Statistics released this week by the College Board's Trends in College Pricing revealed that 55% of bachelor's degree recipients at public colleges will graduate with an average debt of $19,800.  Private college cost now averages $27,293 for each year of study.  What a bargain tuition is at Master's, and we deal in knowledge good enough for eternity!
10/28/10 - Public discourse in the U.S. is increasingly coarse.  Christian, remember these words: "But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth" (Col 3:8 KJV).  The word "filthy" is "aischrologia" in Gk. meaning foul speaking, low and obscene speech.  Make no mistake, Christian speech = clean speech.
10/27/10 - How aggressive is the spiritual war being waged against America's youth?  An example is the short news article "Two pages a 'threat' to evolutionists."   There is a battle for the souls of our nation's youth.  It's a battle over what it means to be human.  No creation, no God.  No God, no human beings, just homo sapiens.  The difference is eternal.
10/26/10 - During this year many inquired about a program at Master's, percentage wise most did not enroll.  For some MISD was not the right choice, but for too many, the words of our Lord come to mind. "Then He said to His disciples, "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few" (Mt. 9:37 NAS).  I pray every day that the Lord will send us the real workers.
10/25/10 - Before this morning’s dawn, as I watched a spectacular display of lightning, I thought, “This is the greatest show on earth!”  Then I remembered the words of our Lord, "For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be" (Matthew 24:27 KJV).  THAT will be the greatest show on earth!
10/22/10 - Teaching an online live seminar today and tomorrow.  Students log in from their personal computer, and it's almost the same as being in the same room.  Two BIG advantages - no travel, and you can eat home cooking!  More information:  http://www.mdivs.edu/seminars.html. 
10/21/10 - Reading Wiley's theology of the atonement, I am again stuck by the realization that the love and holiness of God are inseparable.  Love alone would admit to universalism, holiness alone to deism.  Only a holy God of love can be both approachable and just.  The theological consequence for mankind is the atonement.  Praise His lovely and holy name!
10/20/10 - I reacted with a mixture of anger and sadness while a political hack described abortion as a "wedge issue."  He went on to say that no one knows exactly when a fetus becomes fully human.  He's wrong on both accounts.  Abortion is the "main" issue, and we are fully human at conception.  Master's is 100% pro-life.  PERIOD!  Click HERE for proof.
10/19/10 - The two primary reasons given by adults for not enrolling in additional ministry training is time and money.  I heard it again within the past couple of days.  But our graduates tell a different story.  They found the time and money.  How and where?  Click HERE are a couple of hint. 
10/18/10 - Went to two events over the weekend.  One a political dinner and the other a Bible study class picnic.  Both opened with prayer, and at both they prayed in Jesus' name.  Both were populated by good people, most of whom are professing Christians.  I felt comfortable at the political dinner.  I felt at home at the Bible study class picnic.
10/15/10 - Adam and Eve early hominids?  Many are promoting the idea that God, after millions of years of evolution,  revealed Himself to an extraordinary pair of early humans.  (Google "Adam and Eve early hominids.")  The theory is an attempt to accommodate evolutionism.  Can you detect a hiss in the suggestion?  Like - "Yea, hath God sss-said?"
10/14/10 - Genuine brotherhood!  Dr. Isola, a rehab physician from Nigeria living in the U.S., and a student at MISD, attended last week's N.T. seminar.  Dr. Fletcher, also an MISD student and a local family physician, met Dr. Isola and took him home for an evening meal, and family time.  The brotherhood of the Master!
10/13/10 - In a world that watches itself via satellite television, we are all rejoicing over the Chilean miners rescue, and praying that those remaining will be brought to the surface over the next few hours.  I was heartened to see Chilean president Pinera praying.  This has not been merely an engineering success.  God has been hearing and answering!
10/12/10 - Prospective Biblical counseling students have yet another reason to enroll.  Now that MISD is a NANC Certified Training Center, Biblical counseling graduates are eligible to apply for certification.  Contact NANC.   We also continue to remain committed to IABC.  More Biblical counseling courses are being added to the Online Live Seminar schedule.
10/11/10 - COLUMBUS DAY in the U.S. is a postal and banking holiday.  Because of this, Columbus Day used to be a full holiday, but no more.  The Divinity School opens a couple of hours later this morning, but most of us will be working online anyway.  Shows how technology is changing our world.  The Internet keeps things moving 24/7/365.  Both good & bad.
10/10/10 - Reflecting on graduation the day after...each one always seems the best.  This one no exception.  I was particularly impressed by Isaac from Nigeria who right up to the last minute struggled to get a visa.  He did with only days to spare.  What a blessing he is!
10/9/10 - Just finished the annual graduation event.  WHAT A SPIRITUALLY ENRICHING TIME!  54 graduates.  Most from the U.S., but others from Barbados, Nigeria, Great Britain, Switzerland, and Canada.  These men and women are the best of the best.  Dr. John C. Travis hit a homerun as our graduation speaker.  About 400 in attendance.
10/8/10 - Annual graduation banquet and awards ceremony. Testimonies by graduates were deeply moving!   About 200 in attendance.  Dr. David Tyler, Dean of the Department of Biblical Counseling announced the awarding of Certification to MISD by the National Association of Nouthetic Counselors.  CONGRATULATIONS Dr. Tyler, you made it happen!
10/7/10 - New Testament on-site seminar finished up.  Everyone passed their final exam.  Must be either great teaching or superior students!  Picked up Dr. Cheryl Lee and the two Korean graduates she brought from South Korea.  She is one of the best, and her students are always tops.
10/6/10 - Co-teaching N.T. seminar with Dr. Frazier.  He fires then up, and I settle them down!  We are a great team.
10/5/10 - Last minute preparation for this weekend's annual graduation.  Becky Day is a wonder woman!
10/4/10 - This Friday and Saturday will be the BIG day for 54 graduates who have elected to attend the voluntary annual event.  The poor economy may have kept some from being able to come, but for those who are coming, it will be an experience of a life-time!
