YOUR TEACHER
Greetings … I’m John Morris
I’m your Virtual Bible Academy teacher. Actually, I wrote the course that you’ll be studying. I’ve been a true believer in Jesus Christ since I was 10 years old … and in full-time ministry since the 1970s. What kind of Christian am I? Well, I’m pro-church … but I’m not a denominational Christian. I don’t promote any specific church or denomination. So what do I believe? I believe the 66 books of the Bible, as originally written, are the inerrant, infallible, accurate, unfading, complete Word of God. I take the entire Bible to mean what it says it says. It’s the ultimate authority in life and in doctrine. Check out the Doctrine link to get more details. On a personal basis, I’ve been married to the wife of my youth for many decades. She, our children, and our grandchildren are all Believers.
Most of my in-person ministry has been in the USA, Poland, Russia, and England. In person, in print, and online, it’s touched every continent except Antartica and has included Bible teaching, evangelism, apologetics, and preaching. I’ve taught and evangelized in churches, colleges, apartments, houses, retreat centers, offices, restaurants … on a mountain top and in a meadow … and on radio, videos, and online. I believe that a good teacher lives what he teaches … leading people to higher ground that he has already conquered. I want to help you to that higher ground. In God’s grace and mercy, He has made this ministry fruitful and allowed me to be part of it. To God, and God alone, be the Glory.
I wrote Disciplemaking 1 - Abiding in His Word some time ago. After teaching it many times, it’s been updated and expanded. I’ve added content in response to student questions and needs. The original process of writing this course is interesting. It included extensive, but unusual, research. After deciding which subjects to include, I collected many books on every subject. But, I didn’t read them. I went through every book to find every verse mentioned. Those verses and others were arranged in logical order, studied, and organized into the framework of this course. A wide variety of word-for-word Bible translations, Bible dictionaries, Greek and Hebrew lexicons, concordances, respected commentaries, Bible maps, and other resources were used. Disciplemaking 1 - Abiding in His Word is not a paraphrase of the writings of others. As far as good scholarship allows, it’s an original work … my life’s main work.
Writing this course changed my life and has changed the lives of others who have studied it. And it can change your life. Recorded in John 8:31-32, Jesus said to Believers, “If you continue in [that means abides in or lives in] My Word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; and you will know the truth and the truth will make you free.” This course can help you learn and live in His Word. What you learn from the Bible in this course can give you the sure footing in His truth that only His Word can give.
Be sure to register and please keep me updated … I want to be praying for you.
May God bless you through His Word as you study on VirtualBibleAcademy.org.
Your brother in Christ,
