What Counts The Most

    I see a real problem today among churches, and it has to do with the teaching of the Word of God! Many younger pastors call me and say, "My flock no longer understands solid theology or practical truths. What can I do?" My answer is they must be more adequately equipped. The Word of God must strike like a hammer!

Thomas Jefferson

THOMAS JEFFERSON

You may not fully understand or appreciate Thomas Jefferson but below are some great quotes worthy of our attention. --Dr. Mal Couch

"When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become as corrupt as Europe." -- Thomas Jefferson
"The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not." -- Thomas Jefferson
"It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world." -- Thomas Jefferson
"I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them." -- Thomas Jefferson
"My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government." -- Thomas Jefferson
"No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson
"The strongest rason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government." -- Thomas Jefferson
"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." -- Thomas Jefferson
"To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical." -- Thomas Jefferson
"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property - until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered." -- Thomas Jefferson


IS YOUR CHURCH
LOOKING FOR A PASTOR?

If so, contact Dr. Couch for recommendations. We know of several men seeking positions. They would be dispensational, premillennial, and conservative. Let us hear from you!

INERRANCY

Dr. Mal Couch has written this booklet to again substantiate the belief in this most important doctrine. Inerrancy was his masters thesis in graduate school. It was a reminder to him, and to those who read his thesis, of how important the subject is to all who honor the Scriptures. Where all of this will go, and how soon the destruction will take over our seminaries and churches, we just do not know, but it could all happen sooner than we can imagine.

Inerrancy is a book that is important for all pastors, the layman, and also the student in seminary. It gives the major principles we all need to be reminded of as to how the Bible came to be. But more, our Bible can be trusted. It is the Word of God!

While the book has much we need to know about, it is written in easy language so that anyone can grasp the subject. Order additional copies for friends and those who love the Word of God. It will give them assurance when reading their Bible.

$8 per copy. Send donation checks to: Scofield Ministries, 120 CR 3222, Clifton, TX 76634.






COVENANT THEOLOGY

I am inviting Dr. Andy Woods to join me in doing a 3 CD set on COVENANT THEOLOGY. He and I probably know more on this subject than most. I have all of their major theologies and textbooks and many of their commentaries. This will be a limited edition so if you would like a set please let me know quickly. It will be some weeks before the set is completed. It is available for a donation of $15. Please send your check to: Scofield Ministries, 120 CR 3222, Clifton, TX 76634

Covenant Theology is easy to refute but the problem is that many today do not know much about its origin and the danger to the Scriptures of this view. --Dr. Mal Couch (3/12)




Thinking Biblically presents:

Practical Biblical Skills

This is an important class which was led by Dr. Lacy Couch teaching practical biblical skills for those who are hurting, or, for those who want to help the hurting.

  • How to comfort those who are grieving
  • How to walk alongside others dealing with the pain of life
  • Dealing with the trials you may be facing
  • Many more topics will be discussed

CDS of this conference are available for a donation of $29. This comes with an attractive carrying case and shipping is free. Please send your check to: Scofield Ministries, 120 CR 3222, Clifton, TX 76634




TITUS

Many have missed the purpose of the book of Titus. The doctrine of salvation stands out as the main subject of the book. The book is short and simple but necessary or understanding how God saves those who are His. Titus is easy to read and simple in structure but it touches the heart of everyone who reads and studies it. One of the unusual features of the book is that it points out that both God the Father and the Son are Saviors of all believers. God the Father planned salvation and God the Son carried out that plan in time, here on earth.

Dr. Mal Couch is known as a teacher of Bible prophecy but he also works the Greek text in helping students understand the depth of the Word of God from the grammar. He works the book of Titus in helping students gain a grasp of the language of the book as Paul wrote it.

$11 per copy. Send donation checks to: Scofield Ministries, 120 CR 3222, Clifton, TX 76634.




The Unfolding Plan of the Bible

The Unfolding Plan of the Bible unfolds the message of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. This booklet is meant to capture visually, and with a written narration, the highlights of biblical history. It has been said, "History is God's history!" He determined the ages past, and where all the events of the world are going.

The Lord Jesus Christ is the central figure of the Plan. His coming was prophesied in the past, came to completion 2000 years ago. And the present turmoil in the world will lead to His future Second Coming!

We are sending this booklet, "The Unfolding Plan of the Bible" out to the entire world. Besides English, it is also translated into German and Spanish. Recently we just finished a booklet in the Yanomomo tribe dialect (45,000 to 50,000 people) for distribution. Besides the New Testament, this is the only book this particular tribe in the Amazon area of South America has written in their native language.

We would like to translate this booklet in other languages as well. Will you help make all of this possible? Someday, in glory, someone will tell you, "Thank you for your making this booklet about the Bible and salvation in the Lord Jesus available to me."

If you would like to donate to this cause or to order tracts to distribute yourself, please call (254) 675-2681.

We wish to thank you again for helping to make this outreach possible to a dying and lost world. "To God be the glory forever!" -- Dr. Mal Couch

HONORING DR. JOHN F. WALVOORD

Blessed Hope

Dr. Walvoord was born over one hundred years ago, on May 1, 1910. Before he passed away in commissioned Dr. Mal Couch to write his official biography. This hard-back volume is a classic. He gives the background of his life and of his theological walk as author and president of Dallas Seminary. As one can imagine, Dr. Couch had an adventure interviewing him in producing the book before he left this world on December 20, 2002.

The book has gone well with a limited number still available. For those who want this classic work, send a donation of $12 to: Scofield Ministries, 120 CR 3222, Clifton, TX. 76634.




WE KNEW IT WAS COMING...

The Presbyterian Church is dropping its celibacy requirement for gay pastors. Now they can be “married” to the guy of their choice. The liberals are smart. They know if they wait long enough they can put over on us the agenda they want to put in place. The military does the same thing. Women were not supposed to be in combat, but now they can be. “Don't Tell” is now going away in the military. It is like the frog in the pan of water. Wait long enough and they can turn up the heat and we will not know what they've done to us!

The same with women in submarines. They were not going to be put on board the undersea boats, but now they are! The stupid public will give in or not notice that it has been “worked on” by the liberal agenda.

The evil that the liberals have in mind for us—just give them time—they will soon come around and end up doing exactly what they want to do! Evil is thirsty. It does not end. It just keeps coming on.

I just spoke with a Christian who is high up in government circles. He says it is all over. There is no turning around the evil growing in government. He is disheartened. He sees no change no matter what we believers say or how loud we yell. We are not winning the spiritual war. It is all over for America. It is all over for our children and grandchildren! We need to prepare them for terrible times coming. —Dr. Mal Couch




An Introduction to Classical Evangelical Hermeneutics

There are only two Evangelical books available on interpretation and hermeneutics. My Classical Evangelical Hermeneutics (Kregel) is used in seminaries and Bible colleges throughout the country. All the principles of hermeneutics are given plus many other subjects that are important in understanding interpretation. If you don't have a copy you need it for thoroughly understanding how to interpret Scripture. Make the donation check of $15 out to: Scofield Ministries, 120 CR 3222, Clifton, TX 76634.




Voting is a Privilege and Responsibility

Here is the king whom you have chosen and whom you have desired. --I SAMUEL 12:13

Voting is the most basic way citizens participate in a democracy. By voting, we help determine who will make the laws and protect our liberties. Unfortunately, people of faith often vote at an alarmingly low rate. When believers fail to vote, is it any wonder that policies contrary to our core values are enacted? America’s leaders have always understood the importance of voting:

"If America is to survive, we must elect ... individuals who will seek Divine guidance in the affairs of state." --Billy Graham, Evangelist

"God cannot sustain this free and blessed country… unless the Church will take right ground" --Charles Finney, Leader In America’s Second Great Awakening

"The people are responsible for the character of their Congress. If that body be ignorant, reckless, and corrupt, it is because the people tolerate ignorance, recklessness and corruption." --President James A. Garfield

"God commands you to choose for rulers, just men who will rule in the fear of God. The preservation of a republican government depends on the faithful discharge of this duty; if the citizens neglect their duty and place unprincipled men in office, THE GOVERNMENT WILL SOON BE CORRUPTED." --Noah Webster, The 'Father' of American Scholarship and Education




ISLAMIC TAKEOVER OF AMERICA

This is the second CD of two that document what is happening to our nation. You cannot mix two very distinct cultures, especially one that flies in the face of biblical Christianity. You will want to pass this on to friends. For the two CDs, just $12, or for this latest one, $10. Send donation check to Scofield Ministries, 120 CR 3222, Clifton, TX 76634.




THE KORAN vs THE BIBLE

Dr. Couch has just finished a CD study on the Koran as compared with the Bible. After reading the Koran through, he has isolated the most important differences that every Christian should know. There is not any study like this. It should be passed on to pastors and students of Scripture. Send a donation of $10 to Scofield Ministries (120 CR 3222, Clifton, TX 76634).




SCOFIELD MINISTRIES: New Book a Classic!

Darwin, Evolution, and the American Constitution and Denying Christ's Second Coming

Darwin, Evolution, and the American Constitution

and

Denying Christ's Second Coming

It's almost 300 pages long. Two important subjects in one volume!

The new book that deals with “Darwin, Evolution and the American Constitution.” Attorney and theologian Dr. Andy Woods has done an outstanding job in this book that everyone needs to read. Especially for you, for pastors, Sunday school teachers, etc. Questions answered: Were the founding fathers, and writers of the Constitution deists? Does the Constitution come from the Bible? Were the writers Masons? What are the verses of the Word of God that are quoted directly and indirectly in our Constitution? Why do the secularists of our day wish to destroy our Constitution? Why did President Obama leave out the expression “our Creator” when he quoted this document? What is the agenda of our President, Barack Hussein Obama, in rewriting our history? What are the legal issues in regard to his refusal to show his birth certificate? What is he trying to hide? Dr. Woods gives us some very important judicial arguments on the subject. You will be surprised at the confirmed and documented answers. You will see how we have been fooled by the culture and how we've been lied to by the secularists in our country!

What about the issue of Denying Christ's Second Coming? In the book, Dr. Couch deals with the background of this burning theological problem. Can we show how many of the early church fathers destroyed the literalness of the Word of God, and especially, concerning the issue of the coming of Christ to reign over the worldwide Davidic kingdom? Theologian and communicator Dr. Mal Couch goes to the historic grass roots to show how Reformed writers work overtime to remove one of the most important doctrines from our Bible.

So you get a bargain! Two important subjects in one volume!

This attractive hardback large book is yours for just $17. Make your check out to Scofield Ministries, 120 CR 3222, Clifton, TX 76634.




A STUDY OF THE VERSIONS OF THE BIBLE

I would like to send you a three page study of all of the versions of the Bible and how they came into existence. The study goes right up to the KJV Bible and how it was put together. You'll find this a fascinating study that you could share in your church or Sunday school class. This information is very difficult to find. We've done some heavy lifting to give to you the best of historic scholarship. Send me an email and be sure to include your email address in the body of the message. For no charge we will fire it off to you for study. —Dr. Mal Couch (drcouch@scofieldprophecystudies.org)









OLD TESTAMENT HEBREW WORD STUDY

How many words for “Love” in the Hebrew language? There are three in Greek. Agapao=to deeply love; Phileo=to like, admire. Eros=physical, sexual love (Not in the NT).

But in Hebrew there is only one word: A'hav=love, like, love between man and wife, love between people.

Why is there only one word in the Hebrew language for love? That is a good question that seems to be impossible to answer. However, there is only 600 common words in Hebrew, so the vocabulary is limited. Because there are different forms in Hebrew for each verb, this may be part of the answer. There are four parts or translations for the Hebrew verb. This gives a wide spread for interpreting the word “love.” (1) He loved. (2) He definitely love with intensity. (3) He was loved. (4) He made himself love.

Those of us who teach Hebrew have no problem translating Hebrew as it is. In some ways, I love translating Hebrew even above translating Greek, though I do more Greek than Hebrew translating. Hebrew is so rich and colorful!

I'm now doing translation work in Esther. We read “The king love Esther above all the women in his harem” (2:17). Without a doubt he fell for her. This makes the story and the plot thicken up! —Dr. Mal Couch

OLD TESTAMENT HEBREW WORD STUDY

Ezekiel 37:14: “I will put My Spirit in you.” That is, within the Jewish people. Or, with the Hiphil form, “I will deposit, leave, provide” My Spirit within you.”

And, “I will place you on your own land.” “Will place” is the Hebrew word Na'Can meaning: with the Hiphil form: “I will come down and settle, lower you in your own land.”

The amillennial guys, and covenant guys, try to defuse the meaning of this incredible verse. The verse is telling us what God will do when the Davidic kingdom begins.

The orthodox Jewish Rabbis tell us: “When the miracle of Israel's national revival is performed, the people's faith in God will be firmly established. This is the explanation of the breath entering the bones of Israel to revive them. Israel's restoration could not be achieved by human power, but only by the Spirit of God.”

It is great being a premillennialist who takes the Bible at face value! The Word of God is plain and clear and requires no hard work to accept all that it is saying. But the poor amil guys keep getting it wrong. For example, Ellicott writes: “These promises prepare the way for the prophecy of the great and final attack of the enemies of the Church.” What? How in the world could Ellicott write that? —Dr. Mal Couch

OLD TESTAMENT HEBREW WORD STUDY

Have you heard of NASA? The National Aeronautical and Space Administration? The Hebrew word Na'Sah means “to go up.” This is no accident. Someone in that space agency had a bit of humor. In some other contexts it can mean “to lift up, raise up,” or “to be exalted.”

The Hebrew word M'aR means “bitter” as in “bitter or salty water.” It is a feminine word in Hebrew. The name Mary comes from this word. The word filtered into Japanese. Japanese ships are named “Something Maru” in reference to the salty sea! The planet “Mars” is red!

The Hebrew word Ad'am is a reference to the first man. The word Ad'amah means “ground, dirt.” Adam was created from the dirt. The word Ad'am can also refer to “people.” Because soil is often red, the word can sometimes mean “red” and “blood.” --Dr. Mal Couch

OLD TESTAMENT HEBREW WORD STUDY

The sons of Tobiah are mentioned in Ezra 2:60. We know little of this personality. Others may have also been named Tobiah.

The name means “God is good.” The Tob or Tov means “good” in Hebrew and the “iah” is part of the name of God “The EverExisting One.” Thus, “God who is the EverExisting One is good!” Goodness is one of the attributes of the Lord.

The word for grace is Ch'an. It means “to show favor, give pleasure, be kind, to protect.” In fact, the word to put up a protective encampment has the word grace in it. You are gracious if you put up a camp that gives protection. The name Hannah has the word grace in it: Han, or Ch'an. To be friendly or kind is to be gracious: Ch'an'uh. “God is gracious (kind) and compassionate and righteous” (Psa. 112:4).

Che'Nam means to receive something good undeservedly, without payment, or without compensation. Jacob said to Esau: “Please take my gift because God has dealt graciously (shown undeserved kindness) with me, and because I have plenty. Thus Jacob urged him and Esau took the gift” (Gen. 33:11). —Dr. Mal Couch

OLD TESTAMENT HEBREW WORD STUDY

Psalm 103:1-5 is an outstanding section of verses. It begins with “Bless the Lord, O my soul” (v. 1). “Bless” is “barak.” It comes from the Hebrew word that means “to kneel” or “knee.” To bless is to kneel down before God. Another related word is to “barak” is “fat cattle” (“Be' Ree”). Fat cattle are a blessing to the farmer that means more food on the table.

The word “covenant” is also related: Ba'Ret. To make a covenant or a contract brings about a blessing between individuals, and it brings security. A blessing comes forth from someone, but specifically, a blessing is created. Only God can create something out of nothing, and this is a blessing! So the word Ba'Rah means to create, as creating the heaven and the earth (Gen. 1:1). The word is used only of the Lord who created all things that have come into being. Using the Participle, Solomon wrote “Remember your Creator in the days of your youth.” To create you is a blessing. We should remember the Lord, our Creator, “before the evil days come and the years draw near when you will say, 'I have no delight in them (that is, in the evil days)'” (Eccl. 12:1).

103:2-5 tell us why we should be blessing the Lord. We should “bless His holy name,” We should forget “none of His benefits,” He “pardons all our iniquities,” He “heals all our diseases,” He “redeems our life from the pit,” He “crowns us with lovingkindness and compassion,” and He “satisfied our years with good things.” What a God we have who blesses us continually, thus our souls should be blessing Him! --Dr. Mal Couch

OLD TESTAMENT HEBREW WORD STUDY

One of the most common names for God is EL. Elohim is three Hebrew words put together. El=God, oh=comes from the Hebrew word “To be,” or Ha'Yah. And the im=the plural. Thus, it could mean “God exists in a plural!” This then would open the door for the trinity. Other related words:

Elohim can mean “the Superior, the supreme, the mighty God.” “Kho-seed” is translated as “Towards God.” The Old Testament has many names for God. The New Testament has basically only two names: Theos, the most common name, and, Lord, Kurios.

In the New Testament there is also the Greek name for God: “Despotees.” Or, “Despot.” It is usually translated as Lord or Master. God is the Despot over His creation and over all men on the earth! This means He is the sovereign and the all ruling One. The references for Despot: Luke 2:29; Acts 4:24; 2 Thess 2:21; 2 Peter 2:1; and Rev. 6:10.

In 2 Peter 2:1 Despot is translated as “the Master” and it is referring to Christ, who is “the [rejected] Master who bought them, bringing swift destruction upon themselves.” By the way, this is a verse that flies in the face of Limited Atonement. Christ is the Master who paid even for the sins of those who reject Him! --Dr. Mal Couch

OLD TESTAMENT HEBREW WORD STUDY

ISRAEL: A BLESSING TO THE WORLD

The Lord told Abraham that he would be a great nation and a blessing to all mankind (Gen. 12:2). The main reason of course is that he would bring forth salvation through the Messiah. But in the secular way, Israel has also been a blessing to all the peoples of the earth, though few really know or understand this.

Some incredible facts:

The Jews created the cell phone working with Motorola in Israel. The AOL Instant Messenger was developed in 1996 by four young Israelis. Voice mail technology was developed in Israel. Most of the Windows NT and XP operating systems were developed by Microsoft-Israel. The Pentium mocroprocessor was most likely made in Israel. Israel has the highest percentage of home computers per capita in the world. Israel has the largest number of startup companies in the world. Israel is ranked #2 in the world for venture capital funds, behind the U.S. Israel designed the airline industry's most impenetrable flight security systems.

Twenty-four percent of Israel's work force holds university degrees ranking third in the industrialized world. Israel leads the world in the number of scientists and technicians in the work force. Israel produces more scientific papers per capita than any other nation on earth. The Weizmann Institute of Science is one of the most important research centers on the globe. Israel's Givun Imaging developed the first ingestible video cameras the size of a small pill. An Israel company was the first to develop and install a large scale solar-powered and fully functional electricity generating plant. Israel's $100 billion economy is larger than all of its immediate neighbors combined. Israel also gives more for charity, per capita, to the backward nations of the earth. (From the magazine “Maoz Israel,” December 2010)

Yet, Israel's enemies want to drive her into the sea! Besides bringing to us the Messiah, what would the world do without Israel? I saw much of her blessings myself from twenty-three trips to Israel, even being there and under fire during the Yom Kippur War in 1973.

Ma'oz in Hebew means “the strong mountain,” the “Place of Refuge.” God is Israel's Ma'oz as given in Jeremiah 16:19, and He is “The defense of the Psalmist's life” (Psa. 27:1). Jeremiah 16:19 is a Messianic kingdom passage and reads: “O Lord, my strength and my STRONGHOLD (Ma'oz), and my refuge in the day of distress (the Tribulation), to You the nations will come (at the end of the Tribulation) from the ends of the earth ...”

The Rabbis say about this verse: “This Messianic vision is a distinguished feature of Biblical teaching. All the nations will acknowledge the One True God!” --Dr. Mal Couch

OLD TESTAMENT HEBREW WORD STUDY

Deuteronomy 4:39 is a great verse of Scripture. It reads “Know therefore today, and take it to heart, that the Lord; He is God in heaven above and on the earth below; there is no other.” What an awesome truth! There is only One God, not two, three, or more. To avoid Him, to ignore His presence is absolutely foolishness.

The passage reads: “You know, perceive ...” Or, “become acquainted with ...” “This day ...” better reads “THE Day ...” During this day you need to become aware of and not forget ...” Moses exhorts the people to gratitude towards God (the orthodox Rabbis).

The Rabbis: “Know, become acquainted this day and LAY it to your heart ...” The heart represents the emotions. The Jews were to sense with their feelings the truth of what Moses is about to write. “THAT the Lord (the Everexisting One, HE is THE ELOHIM (“The God Who Is Plural”) in the Heavens!” This means that He transcends the entire universe and His rule encompasses all of Creation!

He is in Charge!

“From Above.” “The Upward, the Higher and Higher, the Ascent!” From the highest! “And upon the Earth that is beneath” the heavens!

“There is None yet, still, besides NO MORE!” There is then no other god. This summarizes the lesson to be learned from all that has gone before. This is a solemn warning of the dangers of idolatry that threatens the Jews upon their entering the Promised Land. Verse 39 leads to verse 40: “So you shall keep His statutes and His commandments which I am giving you today, that it may go well with you and with your children after you, and that you may live long ON THE LAND WHICH THE LORD YOUR GOD IS GIVING YOU FOR ALL THE DAYS (Forever)!” Eternity is for “All the Days!” The land belongs to the Jews eternally, forever, even though they have been unfaithful. Their restoration is certain! —Dr. Mal Couch

Proverbs 12:8 is a powerful verse that tells us of the damage done by sin in the life. It reads “A man will be praised according to his insight, but one of perverse mind (heart) will be despised.”

To be smart and wise will bring honor and respect but the one who is continually seen as a gross sinner will pay a price! The Rabbis translate “praised” as “commended.” They write: “Ability to form a sound judgment in everyday matters, common sense. The proverb is a tribute to intellectual clearness, without special reference to, but doubtless with inclusion of, the moral and religious sides of life.”

The word “perverse” is a word in Hebrew that means “wrecked, rubble, disturbed.” The sinner is wrecked and ruined in his sin. He is like a heap of rubble, or, he is like one disturbed in the mind. It is in the Niphil form in the grammar. It could read “He is himself wrecked and disturbed.” The word mind is actually the Hebrew word for the heart (L'ev). The persistent sinner is like one who has a destroyed and perverse heart. His heart is like a discarded heap of rubble! It is good for nothing except for sinning! --Dr. Mal Couch






NEW TESTAMENT GREEK WORD STUDY

I am blessed with owning every Greek lexicon one can have, and also, every major Greek commentary that is worth owning. I put these great works “to work” in dealing with 1 Timothy 2:12, the passage that reads: “I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet.” Paul argues from the perspective of doctrine not from the direction of culture, as the modern feminists would try to claim.

So here is a thorough study on the passage, and especially the expression “to exercise authority.” This is a Present Infinitive from “authenteo.” “To authenticate, to have absolute sway, authority over.” The clause then reads: the woman is not to be continually having authority over a man. The context has to do with pastoral leadership. She is not to be a pastor! She is also not “to teach” (Present Infinitive) of “didasko,” or “didactic.” She is not to be teaching with pastoral authority over men!

The “why” is an issue we won't go into here, though Paul gives his reasons.

The key lexicons show that the word “authenteo” is used only once in the NT and that is here. Balz & Schneider translate the word “to rule over.” The Classical Greek Lexicon translates the word “to take in hand,” with the idea that the woman reaches for a role that she should not have. She bullies her way into this place of authority. Nicoll translates the word here as “to have dominion” over the men with her grabbing misplaced teaching authority. She is acting on her own authority, he adds, or she is autocratic!

The feminist movement was to a degree alive and well in NT days. Thayer indicates that the woman wanted to be absolute master over men in the church.

The great Greek scholar A. T. Robertson puts it this way: The woman is not permitted to have this authority in the church. He points out that in the 1920s and 1930s many churches were allowing women to teach mixed groups in the Sunday school which was wrong, he further noted.

Women can teach a woman's class and especially a class for younger women as to how they can love their husbands and their children biblically (Titus 2). But they are forbidden to teach a mixed study. Feminine Christian women today ignore the 1 Timothy passage. They claim it was a cultural mandate by Paul that is out of vogue today, but this is not so. This rule still stands.

Elicott writes: “The whole purpose of these weighty admonitions of the great founder of the Gentile churches relegates Christian women to their own legitimate sphere of action and influence—the quiet of their own homes. Paul shows what is the only proper sphere in which women should work, and to which she should exercise her influence and power; while man's work and duties lay in the busy world without, woman's work was exclusively confined to the quiet stillness of home.” The BKC adds: “The females of the congregation should receive instruction from the male leadership with quietness and full submission. They should not attempt to turn the tables by clamoring for the office of congregational teacher or by grasping for authority over men.”

While this is not popular today, it stands as what is right from the inspiration of the Holy Spirit upon the Word of God. The Lord has His purposes from these directives. --Dr. Mal Couch






Bible

American Constitution

FREE TO ALL CHURCHES

A Timely Set of CDs for our times

THE DEATH OF THE AMERICAN CONSTITUTION

We want to send to your church thirty CD sets of "THE DEATH OF THE CONSTITUTION" with Dr. Mal Couch & Dr. Andy Woods. The two CDs must be heard by your congregation! The days are growing darker and your people need to know what is happening!

Dr. Woods argues that there is a connection with the death of our Constitution and the death of Bible interpretation. Your church, and especially your young people, need to hear these CDs!

You must promise to pass out the two CD sets to your folks. Let us have your name and address and the CDs are on the way! A donation would be appreciated but it is not necessary. Email your name, church name, and address. Or, phone it in to (254) 675-2681. Hurry, the number of CDs is limited! --Dr. Mal Couch

I just listened to the first CD on the death of the constitution. It's wonderful! I was not taught about the federalist papers in school and had no real understanding of how the constitution came about or what it really meant. I have downloaded the federalist papers to my Kindle and am going to try to muddle my way through them. Thank you, Andy Woods! Thank you all! -D.C.


Dr. Couch,

You did it again. You produced an excellent discussion of the Constitution with a young man who is unquestionable excellent--viz. Dr. Andy Woods. I have recently finished listening to the CD on the Death of the Constitution for the second or third time (there is so much to learn). In any event, you noted at the beginning if we wanted extra copies to share, to let you know. I can use two copies of each part of the discussion to share with men at my church (1 copy each part) and my sister's church in Pennsylvania (1 copy each part).

Thanks for your kind offer and even more for your timely ministry.

In His grace, for His glory,

Kenneth R. Cooper, D.D., Ph.D.




A COMPARISON BETWEEN ISRAEL AND THE CHURCH.**

Below are twenty-four differences between Israel and the church,
as given by Dr. Lewis S. Chafer in his Systematic Theology, Vol. 4:

ISRAEL THE CHURCH
Israel, 4/5 of the Bible Church, 1/5 of the Bible
Earthly covenant promises Heavenly promises in the gospel

spiritual relationship Headship: Abraham Headship: Christ
Covenants: Abrahamic covenant and related Covenant: New covenant

Divine dealing: Israel, national and individual Divine dealing: Individual only
Dispensations: Israel from Abraham and on Dispensation: present age only

Christ: Israel's Messiah, King, and Savior Christ: Head of, and Savior

Tribal priesthood (Levi) Each member a priest
Israel: an unfaithful wife to be restored Church: the bride of Christ
Israel: to be judged and restored Church: delivered from judgment
To be a restored kingdom To be a blessed bride
**There is more to say about these differences. The list is but abbreviated
and can be filled in with some additions and adjustments.


INERRANCY

Dr. Mal Couch has written this booklet to again substantiate the belief in this most important doctrine. Inerrancy was his masters thesis in graduate school. It was a reminder to him, and to those who read his thesis, of how important the subject is to all who honor the Scriptures. Where all of this will go, and how soon the destruction will take over our seminaries and churches, we just do not know, but it could all happen sooner than we can imagine.

Inerrancy is a book that is important for all pastors, the layman, and also the student in seminary. It gives the major principles we all need to be reminded of as to how the Bible came to be. But more, our Bible can be trusted. It is the Word of God!

While the book has much we need to know about, it is written in easy language so that anyone can grasp the subject. Order additional copies for friends and those who love the Word of God. It will give them assurance when reading their Bible.

$8 per copy. Send donation checks to: Scofield Ministries, 120 CR 3222, Clifton, TX 76634.



TITUS

Many have missed the purpose of the book of Titus. The doctrine of salvation stands out as the main subject of the book. The book is short and simple but necessary or understanding how God saves those who are His. Titus is easy to read and simple in structure but it touches the heart of everyone who reads and studies it. One of the unusual features of the book is that it points out that both God the Father and the Son are Saviors of all believers. God the Father planned salvation and God the Son carried out that plan in time, here on earth.

Dr. Mal Couch is known as a teacher of Bible prophecy but he also works the Greek text in helping students understand the depth of the Word of God from the grammar. He works the book of Titus in helping students gain a grasp of the language of the book as Paul wrote it.

$11 per copy. Send donation checks to: Scofield Ministries, 120 CR 3222, Clifton, TX 76634.



THE JEWS: AND THE FOUNDING OF AMERICA

Many do not know how blessed America is with its Jewish population. They came to these shores and were blessed, but in turn, they blessed America. This untold story is documented by Dr. Mal Couch. It focuses on the Southwest with incredible information. Send a donation check of $15 to Scofield Ministries, 120 CR 3222, Clifton, TX 76634. Reading that will inspire all who love Israel.



PERHAPS TODAY

Perhaps Today

Dr. Mal Couch and Dr. Paul Benware have finished working together on a new book making the doctrine of the rapture of the church clear for those who may be confused.

This is one of the most important doctrines in Scripture because it tells how the dispensation of the church will end. The authors' hope is that the book is kept simple for those who have not received much teaching from the Word of God on the issue. There are about seventeen different rapture passages in Scripture.

Dr. Benware and Dr. Couch have both written extensively on the subject in various publications. One of the most important chapters was written by Dr. Couch that thoroughly explains the subject. This chapter has been re-published in three nationally publicized volumes on theology (Harvest House). Dr. Benware's book “End Times Prophecy” (Moody Press) is one of the most popular works on biblical prophecy and the doctrine of the rapture.

For a donation of only $10. Send your name and address to: Scofield Ministries, 120 CR 3222, Clifton, TX 76634.
