10 Reasons to go to WLBC this autumn, part 2

2 May

We have now come to the second, important reason why now is the perfect time to think and pray about whether a year of Bible School at WLBC would be right for you this autumn. Reason number two is:

Preparation

What you will go on to be later in life – a doctor, a teacher, a shop assistant, a missionary, an entrepreneur, a student, a pastor or something else – is something that can be very difficult to be 100% sure about. You may already have a clear vision, maybe you have a vague idea or maybe you haven’t a clue yet! Because you will grow, develop and change throughout life, choosing a course of study or training can be a bit of a gamble, where you have to start moving forward and just hope that what you have chosen to study and prepare for will still be what you really want to do in two, five or ten years’ time.

However, what makes the year at Word of Life Bible Centre so special is that it gives you a kind of training that is perfect for wherever your life may lead!

The teaching, practical work, prayer, worship, guidance and the encounters with God that you will experience, will lay a firm and stable foundation for any kind of lifestyle and future. The concept of laying a firm foundation by building one’s ‘house’, ie. Life, on solid ground as opposed to shifting sand (Luke, Chapter 6), is, in fact, something that many of us know well from our Sunday school days – but perhaps it is now time to get serious and put the word into practice?

What career should you choose? Where will life lead you? Who will you be – and where – in 10, 20 or 30 years’ time? Neither you nor I know for sure, but one thing I can promise you: that making a decision to do as Mary did – sit at the feet of Jesus, listen to him and let his words sink deep into your heart before it’s time to go forth into all of life’s activities and Martha-chores – will be a safe investment that you will never regret.

So get your priorities right this autumn! Wherever you end up in this world, the community that you become part of will need people who put Jesus first!
