WHAT WAS THE LEGACY OF CARL MCINTIRE? (II)

As B-Ps, we join in the great battle that Drs. J. Gresham Machen, Carl McIntire and Timothy Tow fought. We are persuaded that there is a vital need to defend the faith against modernism, compromise and worldliness. We throw our strength into the great task of winning lost souls to Christ by the gospel of the grace of God. The modernists have no gospel to offer to their followers and so men are perishing under their ministry.

In true succession to Faith Theological Seminary’s mission to train faithful men to the ministry, Far Eastern Bible College was formed in 1962. Its aim was to train men and women to teach the Bible and live a holy life full of good works. On its website, the heading “Spirituality, Scholarship, Service” speaks of an endeavour to provide a biblical-theological education (Acts 20: 27) that is based solely on the forever infallible and inerrant Scriptures. This will equip both Christian men and women for effective spiritual leadership and service in the proclamation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and in the defence of the Reformed Faith.”

Today it has grown to an enrollment of more than 100 students and is a hub of Bible College movement that has spread to Myanmar, Philippines, Indonesia and Africa. Every vacation many of the faculty lecturers fly over to some of these colleges to offer short-term courses to the students there. These lecturers are also available to hold Missions and Bible Conferences to combat the Satanic doctrines now sweeping the church. Some FEBC graduates have also continued the work and they too have joined in on the Bible College Movement, having established fundamental Bible colleges in many countries around the world.

Dear teen, you may want to consider equipping yourself with some biblical education by enrolling in some FEBC courses while waiting either for your O or A level results. You can also attend the night classes which are held every Monday and Thursday night. There are also on-line courses for those who are unable to travel or attend these classes. Such an investment of your time is better than anything you can do.

Thought: O for a faith that will not shrink, though pressed by many a foe ♫
Prayer: Father in heaven, may I have a faith that shines brighter and clearer with each passing day.
