INDUCTIVE BIBLE STUDY [new 10/96]
Mail: hub@xc.org

Desc: An E-mail conference dedicated to the Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Without His efforts, ours would be in vain. Inductive Study is a revolutionary approach to directly interacting with God's Word - and letting it speak for itself - in a way so personal, so memorable, that every insight you gain will be yours for life. - Kay Arthur. Subscriber posts should be based on Ephesians 4:29 - Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those wholisten. (NIV) The conference is provided to promote the edification of thebody of Christ. It is not their intention to use this conference for doctrinaldebates. The conference is a pilot study that can be best viewed as an inductive survey. The survey approach will primarily whet the appetite for the seekers of truth to branch off into a more exhaustive individual study. The conference will not casually approach the study, but members will hopefully strive for a balance that will not be wearisome for the group.
