The Bible became the center of my life as the Holy Spirit immersed my corrupt mind into God’s truth. The more that I studied, the more I wanted to tell others what I was discovering in the Bible. I got with others who could help give me a better understanding of the Scriptures. We would sometimes study the Bible all night, literally until the sun would come up the next day. I conducted Bible studies at lunch on the construction site where I was working. My wife, Diane and I had people into our home for weekly Bible studies. Little did we know that God was setting the course for the rest of our lives. I can’t remember any time during the last twenty nine years that we were not making disciples for Jesus in a relational way. We have made disciples of hundreds of people who still walk with God today, and unfortunately many who do not. In my zeal to make disciples, I wanted to find a way to better communicate the Scriptures. I had to teach others the things that God was teaching me in a consistent way. In or around 1986 the Lord opened my understanding to the “elementary principles of the doctrines of Christ”, found in Hebrews 6:1-3, where the theme for this book came from: “1 Therefore, leaving the discussion of the elementary principles of Christ, let us go on to perfection, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, 2 of the doctrine of baptisms, of laying on of hands, of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. 3 And this we will do if God permits.” The six doctrines of Christ became the skeletal outline of everything that I taught from then on. I wrote study after study that seemed to dovetail with one another, until finally it became a flowing document. Just last year in 2009 I felt compelled to write this in book form so that I could be a good steward of this revelation. Also, I wanted IX others to be able to consistently make disciples that are grounded in the doctrines of Christ. Our generation is one that is grossly illiterate when it comes to the Word of God. It seems that ministers are more under the authority of church growth principles than the Bible. Even sadder, most church folks are under the authority of their own opinions based loosely on a few catch phrases. Truly we are in a famine for the Word of God, the spiritually emaciated are starving in the churches, being fed a steady diet of sugar coated humanism that cannot satisfy their souls. However, I am encouraged in these days. I have noticed that as we dispel the popular myths that float around churches that the people are responding well to truth. Go figure! The Truthstill sets people free. It is my sincere prayer that all who read this book will have the “eyes of their understanding enlightened”, and this volume could be a catalyst for revival in all who would become disciples of Jesus. I will close this foreword and begin our lessons on the Doctrines of Christ with this reading from II John 7-10, “7 For many deceivers have gone out into the world who do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. 8 Look to yourselves, that we do not lose those things we worked for, but that we may receive a full reward. 9 Whoever transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God. He who abides in the doctrine of Christ has both the Father and the Son. 10 If anyone comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into your house nor greet him; 11 for he who greets him shares in his evil deeds.” May the content of this book recover many who have been deceived to believe they are going to heaven while still living in their transgressions. I “bring to you the Doctrine of Christ”, I pray that you will receive this word into your house and receive your full reward. Many Blessings, Teryl Hebert X Chapter 1: IntroduCtIon Hebrews 5:12-14; 6:1-3, “12 For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God; and you have come to need milk and not solid food. 13 For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe. 14 But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

  • Country Superstar Kenny Chesney to Rock the 4Th of July at the 2013 Greenbrier Classic Concert Series
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE FEBRUARY 20, 2013 COUNTRY SUPERSTAR KENNY CHESNEY TO ROCK THE 4TH OF JULY AT THE 2013 GREENBRIER CLASSIC CONCERT SERIES [White Sulphur Springs, WV] The Greenbrier, the classic American resort in White Sulphur Springs, WV, has announced that country music superstar Kenny Chesney will top a star-studded musical lineup at The Greenbrier Classic Concert Series, July 1-7, 2013, coinciding with the resort's fourth annual PGA TOUR FedExCup Event, The Greenbrier Classic. Kenny Chesney, a four-time Country Music Association and four-consecutive Academy of Country Music Entertainer of the Year, as well as the fan-voted American Music Awards Favorite Artist, is known for his high-energy concerts that regularly sell out NFL stadiums. Having recorded 19 #1s, including the multiple week chart-toppers "There Goes My Life," "Summertime," "Living in Fast Forward," "You & Tequila" and "When the Sun Goes Down," the man who's sold almost 30 million albums has become the sound of summer, good times and good friends for the 21st century. "This country is an amazing place," says Chesney. "I can see it every night at my shows: all the heart, the passion and the fun I can see out in the crowd. And to be able to spend the 4th of July somewhere as historic as The Greenbrier, that's a pretty incredible place to celebrate our nation's birthday!" "We couldn't be happier to have an American superstar like Kenny Chesney to top the bill at our Greenbrier Classic concert series," says Jim Justice, owner of The Greenbrier.

  • 1 - Radio’S Place in the Media Landscape I
    1 - Radio’s Place in the Media Landscape I ARBITRON: "RADIO LISTENING IS UP" 6-12-13 Arbitron released another RADAR National Radio Listening Report today. The report says radio’s audience increased year over year, adding more than 430,000 weekly listeners. Arbitron says radio now reaches 242.5 million listeners, or 92 percent of persons 12 and older, on an average weekly basis. Additionally, daily time spent listening to radio among persons age 12 and older held steady versus the June 2012 RADAR report. People 12 and older spend approximately 2 hours and 36 minutes a day with radio. Why Gen Y We can throw the 93% number around all we like, but the bottom line is that radio listening levels vary depending on the group you’re looking at. In a recent series of posts, we’ve talked about the concerning radio problem centering on lost youth – specifically, the notion that the medium has lost a generation of listeners over the past decade or so. Some might argue that we’re actually talking about two generations that are simply not as engaged with radio as their parents. Gen Y – or Millennials – is a case in point. Here’s their Media Usage Pyramid from Techsurvey9. A look at the black bar below indicates that 86% of these twenty and thirtysomethings listen to radio an hour a day or more. That’s below the study average of 89%. And this pattern intensifies when we examine Gen Z – those 20 and younger. Only 78% of them listen to broadcast radio for that one hour minimum a day.

  • The Parentlink
    The Parent link Monthly Parent Newsletter of Hudson UMC June 2013 Strength in Meekness One of the many qualities our culture encourages young people to develop is strength. Physically, academically, and socially, teenagers are urged to try to come out on top. Those who seem too meek or gentle are viewed as pushovers and told to stand up for themselves. Yet the Bible has a different message about strength—not only about how to show it but also where to find it. Psalm 73:26 (NIV) says, “My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.” Jesus spoke often about the blessings of gentleness and servanthood. In fact, Jesus himself “did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many” (Mark 10:45, NIV). In our noisy, “me-first” world, meek people display peace, calmness, and caring. They don’t have an overinflated view of themselves but instead rely on God’s grace. In Live Large. Be Different. Shine Bright. (Simply Youth Ministry), Doug Fields and Joshua Griffin write that meek people are slow to speak, put other people first, and serve in small and large ways. Yet meekness shouldn’t be equated with weakness, they write. Instead, meek people accept their status before God and “realize that the beautiful, sensitive, humble quality of meekness comes from knowing that God has the power and love to make you his new creation.” In The Jesus Survey (Baker Books), Mike Nappa discovered that young Christians find strength through core beliefs: • 94% of Confident Christian Teens strongly agreed with this statement: “I’m 100% certain Jesus has answered one or more of my prayers—and I can prove it.” • 86% of Confident Christian Teens strongly agreed with this statement: “I’m 100% certain that the Holy Spirit is present and active in my life today—and I have proof that this is true.” In 99 Thoughts on Jesus -Centered Living (Simply Youth Ministry), Rick Lawrence offers strategies for living like—and for—Jesus: • Practice congruence.
