Through the Bible Handbook of Answers
2-Minute Video Overview
This book provides suggested partial answers for the discussion questions in the Through the Bible text. This can be used by a student to compare his answers to ours, or by a teacher who is grading the student's workbook.
The questions in Through the Bible are designed to get you involved searching Scriptures and allowing the Holy Spirit to relate them to your own life. You begin building a theological understanding from the Word and the Holy Spirit. It is best if you can do it in the context of a group, for as "iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another" (Prov. 27:17).
We strongly recommend that you search out your own answers to the questions first. Then you may come to this Handbook of Answers to see if the Virklers discovered truths which you could add to your answers. In this way you will receive revelation from God from your own meditation on the Scriptures, and only secondarily compare it to what others have found. It is important for every Christian to search Scriptures for themselves, and then seek confirmation, adjustment and expansion from others in the body of Christ.

Opportunity 1 – Host a home or church group
This home group in Slovakia shows the excitement of learning to hear God's voice together!
We learn more quickly if we are surrounded by others who are seeking to master the same skill. Pray and ask God who you know who might want to grow in this truth also and open your home to them for 10-12 weekly sessions (or host a small group in your church). We provide several resources to help you present this powerfully and effectively in a group setting, including DVDs and application activities. Experience the joy of cultivating skills together with a group of friends! Discover how to create and post your group…

Coaching or discipling is the method Jesus used to train the twelve disciples.
When you team up with someone ahead of you in an area to mentor you, and you share your questions and steps of growth with them, receiving their counsel in return, you ascend more quickly into mastery in that area. We have trained coaches who have mastered this topic who will commit to working with you for a 90-day period.

Experience Living Words from Jesus Through Two-Way Journaling
Allow your heart to burn with revelation as Jesus opens the Scriptures to you (Lk. 24:32).
Mark, every word you speak, every thought you think, every picture you imagine, and every belief you hold which is contrary to Scripture takes you backward rather than forward because it is evil, sinful, and wrong (see Jeremiah 7:24 KJV).
I have spent two weeks exploring the Greek words for "heretic" and "heresy." I used e-Sword extensively. As a result of this meditative study, my perception of heretics and heresy was greatly altered.
The 44-minute video below allows you to journey alongside me during these two weeks, trying to understand what the Bible teaches about heretics and heresy. My views were so profoundly changed, I decided these two words should be tossed out of my vocabulary completely! It was unbelievable to me that it took me so long to sort through my confusion and completely re-adjust my thinking and the pictures in my mind.
So the video below walks you through the way I used e-Sword to help me discover a new way of looking at these two Greek words. I hope that it will train you how you can use e-Sword to do your in-depth research and come away with new enlightenment from the Holy Spirit on a topic. Lord, reveal!
