COMMENT’S FROM TEACHER GRADING WORKBOOK:

FOCUS Directions and Tips on Earning Your Degree by Correspondence		by Dr. O. L Tice
Please read all of the following!
	
Dear Student,
You have a desire to acquire a degree to serve the Lord, and correspondence is a perfect way to maintain your job, while continuing your education.  It is a challenge, but not one that is out of reach.  I encourage you to get a planner and slate out your day: appointments, engagements, Bible reading, book study.  If you commit yourself to just ONE chapter in the required book, each day, five days a week, you will complete a course in 4-6 weeks.  Your progress will depend on your academic ability and the helping power of the Holy Spirit to enlighten your understanding.
 
Every two weeks, contact our office or your mentor pastor and share with them how many chapters you have completed.  Once a month send in the Monthly Report so we can continue to encourage you and address any issues that are hindering your progress..  This will help you stay focused, set goals, and keep you on task.  Be candid and use this resource to help you find solutions to study and complete your work.  Stay businesslike, and please do not send “forwards” or messages from other emailers.   We have a lot to read.

Your mentors email address will be sent to you.  Our email is:  pvossen@yahoo.com

Try to find a place away from distractions.  Studies show that cramming and all-nighters really do not work.  Study for short periods of time and don’t forget to get up and stretch.  Most classroom sessions are set at 50 minutes for a reason.  

SHORT REWARDS SUGGESTIONS:  Give yourself short rewards.  Plan a dinner out with your spouse upon completion of each course.  Upon completion of a year, you might consider a vacation treat or a weekend to Six Flags. These short and long term rewards also gives your family an investment to help you achieve this wonderful task you have chosen to glorify the Lord with.   

Our primary goal is to educate ministers to meet their calling as quickly and thoroughly as possible.  Each course is set to provoke you into the defending of the Faith.  Not everything you read will line up with your doctrinal view.  Each book is selected in line with our foundational beliefs, however, ONLY the Holy Bible stands without criticism. Our challenge to you is to Defend Your Faith, not with this is what the Baptist, or Charismatic, or Evangelicals, or Pentecostals think, but critical thinking based on Scripture Alone.

Each course will ask you chapter by chapter what the authors objective was and if their stand is biblical.  At the end of each workbook will be either a PROJECT or an EXAM to complete.

God’s best to you, Dr. O.L.  Tice, President – FOCUS Bible College	
				
P.S.  Each workbook cost $8.00, however you can receive a PDF version through the email for a $3 charge.  This can be sent in with your next tuition payment.  The $3.00 charge covers the cost of us returning your graded workbook.  If there is a required PROJECT or FINAL EXAM  it will be at the back of the workbook.

MEMORIZE FOR THIS BOOK THE FOLLOWING VERSES.
In lieu of memorizing write out in long hand, print or type (DO NOT CUT AND PASTE) twenty times.  If you memorize, have your pastor or associate pastor test you, and then have them sign at the bottom of this page.

Psalms 119:11-16  Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.  (12)  Blessed art thou, O LORD: teach me thy statutes.  (13)  With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth.  (14)  I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as much as in all riches.  (15)  I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways.  (16)  I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word.

Pastor or Associate Pastor signature:  My signature verifies that student quoted by heart the above scriptures. If sending by Email have you pastor email from his email verification of your memorization.
