Creator of Master New Testament Greek
If we want to maintain the purity of the gospel in our country, we need many to learn to read the languages.
There has never been a better time to learn the languages than today, and there has never been a greater need in our country.
Let me provide you with step-by-step support, live online classes, an online learning community and experience the clarity that comes from reading the biblical authors in their own words!
Learning Greek is important because the gospel is important
There has never been a better time to learn
Many throughout history have learned Greek, and they didn’t have some of the fantastic tools available to us today. That means that the opportunity for learning biblical Greek has never been greater than today.
Electronic Flashcards
One of the most important aspects of learning a language is learning the vocabulary. The traditional approach to learning vocabulary is to write words on flashcards, a piece of paper or card, with the Greek word on one side and the english meaning on the other.
Today, electronic flash cards mean you can grow your knowledge of Greek wherever you are, whenever you have a minute or two to spare, making learning smarter and more convenient.
Parsing Tools
Unlike English, Greek words have prefixes and suffixes that provide more information about the meaning of the word. Working out how the different parts of a word contribute to its meaning is called parsing.
Today there are a number of apps to help you practice parsing. The better you can parse, the easier it is to read. So these tools dramatically reduce the difficulty of learning to read.
Better Grammars
Previous generations would only have one or two grammars they would work from. Today, not only are there dozens of grammars, but the skill levels of those who create them is much higher than in previous generations.
Get the benefit of hundreds of years of study of Greek from modern grammars, and work with an approach that has been proven over and over again.
Online Communities
Learning is easier in a community, and the internet means that even if you're entirely alone, you can still meet with others who love the word of God and want to learn the language.
Joining a membership allows you to regularly interact with experts and other students and get personalized support when you need it.
The reformers never had it this good!
Learn Greek and deepen your faith as you grow in...
Clarty
Much biblical understanding is lost in translation. A translation is like a commentary on the Bible without footnotes. That means that the difference between reading Greek and reading in English is like the difference between a 1950's black and white television compared to a modern 4k HDTV.
Themes in scripture are often clearer when you can see the commonalities between lexical ideas and repeated use of constructions. You'll see ideas come to life and passages connect like you never have before.
Faithfulness
As your knowledge of the word of God is enriched by your reading of the Greek New Testament, your clarity and confidence in scripture will increase your conviction about the truthfulness of what God says in His Word.
This results in an increased desire to please the Lord in every aspect of your life. As your desire to please the Lord grows, your faithfulness to Him and His Word will increase. The best way become and remain a faithful shepherd is to grow in your own conviction of the importance of God's holiness and His calling on your life.
Confidence
Those who don't know Greek are dependent upon those who can read it. That means that pastors and teachers must choose between the different scholarly opinions and interpretations without first hand knowledge.
The ability to exegete the Greek certainly helps, but nothing compares to the confidence that comes from a rich first hand working knowledge of the original language. Confidence comes not merely from knowing Greek, but knowing the word of God in the Greek.
Vitality
If you can read Greek, you can get clarity and confidence to feed your own soul. Don't just read Greek for the sake of study. Read the Greek New Testament in your own devotional times. Sure, the Greek of the New Testament is unfamiliar, but that will make the message fresh and challenge you to grow in new ways!
As you read the language, not only will it help you understand the text of the New Testament, but you'll begin to understand the mindset of the readers. Reading Greek in your devotional time will enrich not only your life, but also your ministry and those you minister to.
