The Institute Of Biblical Studies Is Designed To Offer Classes That Support Building A Strong Foundation In The Christian Life From The Point Of Spiritual Investigation Through Spiritual Birth Then Paving A Path For Substantial Spiritual Growth.
In Response To The Question Posed By Nicodemus Who Was Fascinated By The Signs Performed By Jesus, The Lord Moved Beyond The Surface To The Deeper Need By Saying, "...Unless One Is Born Again He Cannot See The Kingdom Of God." John 3
This Text Provides A Clue Regarding The Similarities Between Dynamics of Physical Birth And Spiritual Birth. Once A Child Is Born, A Responsible Parent Would Never Consider Leaving The Newborn To Fend For Themselves To Survive. It Is "All Hands On Deck" To Provide The Support Required For The Survival & Growth Of The Child Which Continues For Years Through Many Phases With The Ultimate Goal Of Responsible Adulthood.
The Spiritual Growth Process Is No Different Requiring The Same Intentional Systems Of Training & Energy. The Discipleship Approach Of IBS (Institute Of Biblical Studies) Is Designed To Be Part Of The Equation To Meet This Need.
