The Weekend Bible Study - with Ronald L. Dart

And it came to pass, that he went through the corn fields on the sabbath day; and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of corn. And the Pharisees said unto him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath day that which is not lawful? And he said unto them, Have ye never read what David did, when he had need, and was an hungred, he, and they that were with him? How he went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar the high priest, and did eat the shewbread, which is not lawful to eat but for the priests, and gave also to them which were with him? And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath: Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath. Mark 2:23–28 Hello everyone and welcome to the Christian Educational Ministries Weekend Bible Study. Tonight we are pleased to present another timeless study from the CEM Vault by Ronald L. Dart. Join us now for Mr. Dart’s thoughtfully detailed study on the Gospel of Mark. (Ron’s original email text is below.) February 15, 2008 A warm howdy to all you Bible students, and welcome to this experimental online Bible study. All is well here in Tyler as we work our way through the various frustrations of moving. Our new offices should be finished in a couple of weeks and we have already got boxes out putting stuff in them for the move. I am trying to figure a way to be out of town when all this comes down. But, we are getting more room and more efficiency. I’m just glad I don’t have to move my home. We are getting some really nice emails these days and hardly any that are critical. I got a condemnation this week for using the NIV. It is odd, but most of the rare critical emails come from King James only advocates. I need those folks though, because it is not a good thing to have everyone speak well of you. We have had some 575 now who have downloaded the first Bible Study. We will never know for certain how many are listening in, but it is obviously worth doing for all the saints. Ron

And John was clothed with camel’s hair, and with a girdle of a skin about his loins; and he did eat locusts and wild honey; And preached, saying, There cometh one mightier than I after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose. I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost. And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan. And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him: And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Mark 1:6-11 Hello everyone and welcome to the Christian Educational Ministries Weekend Bible Study. Tonight we are pleased to present another timeless study from the CEM Vault by Ronald L. Dart. Join us now for Mr. Dart’s thoughtfully detailed study on the Gospel of Mark. (Ron’s original email text is below.) February 8, 2008 Howdy everyone, and welcome to the second of our Weekend Bible Studies. You will be interested to know that by Thursday, we had over 375 downloads of the Bible study. We have no way of knowing how many are listening, but in many cases it is a family. So we could have 500, as many as 700 Folks participating. Welcome, and welcome to all newcomers. If you missed last week, be sure and visit our website to listen to last week’s study. We have a slight format change. Remember, this is experimental. There will be three sections of the study. First are questions arising from last week’s study. Second, we’ll start through the Gospel of Mark, third, we’ll answer unrelated questions. So I will kick off tonight with three questions that arose from last week’s study… The link is below, so click in and be in touch. Ron

The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God; As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who shall prepare your way before you. The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare you the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. Mark 1:1–3 KJ2000 Hello everyone and welcome to the Christian Educational Ministries Weekend Bible Study. Tonight we are pleased to present another timeless study from the CEM Vault by Ronald L. Dart. Join us now as we return to February 1, 2008 and Mr. Dart’s introduction of the Gospel of Mark—the very first Weekend Bible Study. (Ron’s original email text is below.) February 1, 2008 Hi, Beginning tonight, we are trying something new: The Weekend Bible Study. With the Internet age, so many things are possible, even easy, that we could never do before. Now, I can conduct something like our old Friday night Bible study and do it for hundreds, maybe even thousands of people at the same time. Here’s how it will work. Every Friday afternoon, we will mail out a link to our email newsletter list with a link to the file where you can listen to the study. (It will be audio, in MP3 format. We will also link the study from the What’s New section of borntowin.net.) I will talk about the news, answer questions, and then start teaching through a book of the Bible. There will be an email address where you can mail your questions during the week and we can answer them the next weekend. Approximate time for the study will be 45 minutes. The beauty of this is that you can save the email and listen at your convenience. You can load it up on your ipod and listen as you drive to work if you wish. (But I hope you will be somewhere with your Bible open in front of you.) The link is below, so click in and be in touch. Ron

Hello everyone and welcome to the Christian Educational Ministries Weekend Bible Study. In anticipation of the coming biblical holiday, the Feast of Trumpets, tonight we are pleased to present another timeless study from the CEM Vault by Ronald L. Dart. Join us now for Mr. Dart’s inspiring sermon on both the history and prophetic significance of Old Testament Trumpets. Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Speak to the children of Israel, saying: In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall have a sabbath-rest, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation. Leviticus 23:23–24 NKJV

Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: hereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. 2 Peter 1:1–4 Hello everyone and welcome to the Christian Educational Ministries Weekend Bible Study. Tonight we are pleased to once again present a timeless study from the CEM Vault by Ronald L. Dart. Join us now as Mr. Dart instructs and informs us from the Second Epistle of Peter.

So the Lord blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses. He had also seven sons and three daughters. And he called the name of the first, Jemima; and the name of the second, Kezia; and the name of the third, Kerenhappuch. And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job: and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren. After this lived Job an hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations. So Job died, being old and full of days. Job 42:12–17 KJV Hello everyone and welcome to the Christian Educational Ministries Weekend Bible Study. Tonight we are pleased to present psychologist, teacher, founder and pastor of Guardian Ministries in Pasadena, California, Dr. David Antion. Join us now as Dr. Antion completes his fascinating seven-part study on the Book of Job.

Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said, Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge? Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me. Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding. Job 38:1–4 KJV Hello everyone and welcome to the Christian Educational Ministries Weekend Bible Study. Tonight we are pleased to present psychologist, teacher, founder and pastor of Guardian Ministries in Pasadena, California, Dr. David Antion. Join us now for part six of Dr. Antion’s fascinating seven-part study on the Book of Job.

If I have walked with vanity, or if my foot hath hasted to deceit; Let me be weighed in an even balance that God may know mine integrity. If my step hath turned out of the way, and mine heart walked after mine eyes, and if any blot hath cleaved to mine hands; Then let me sow, and let another eat; yea, let my offspring be rooted out. Job 31:5–8 Hello everyone and welcome to the Christian Educational Ministries Weekend Bible Study.

Join us now for part five of Dr. Antion’s fascinating seven-part study on the Book of Job.

Hello everyone and welcome to the Christian Educational Ministries Weekend Bible Study. In keeping with our series on the Book of Job, tonight we are happy to bring you a program from the CEM Vault by Ronald L. Dart titled Frozen Images. Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said, How long wilt thou speak these things? and how long shall the words of thy mouth be like a strong wind?  Doth God pervert judgment? or doth the Almighty pervert justice?  If thy children have sinned against him, and he have cast them away for their transgression; If thou wouldest seek unto God betimes, and make thy supplication to the Almighty; If thou wert pure and upright; surely now he would awake for thee, and make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous. Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase. Job 8:1–7

Can a man be profitable to God, Though he who is wise may be profitable to himself? Is it any pleasure to the Almighty that you are righteous? Or is it gain to Him that you make your ways blameless? Is it because of your fear of Him that He corrects you, And enters into judgment with you? Is not your wickedness great, And your iniquity without end? For you have taken pledges from your brother for no reason, And stripped the naked of their clothing. You have not given the weary water to drink, And you have withheld bread from the hungry. But the mighty man possessed the land, And the honorable man dwelt in it. You have sent widows away empty, And the strength of the fatherless was crushed. Therefore snares are all around you, And sudden fear troubles you, Or darkness so that you cannot see; And an abundance of water covers you. Job 22:1–11 Hello everyone and welcome to the Christian Educational Ministries Weekend Bible Study. Tonight we are pleased to present psychologist, teacher, founder and pastor of Guardian Ministries in Pasadena, California, Dr. David Antion. Join us now for part four of Dr. Antion’s fascinating seven-part study on the Book of Job.
