9Marks at Southeastern, Sept. 10-11
A healthy church is a church marked by sound doctrine. As Paul instructs Titus, a pastor must “hold firm to the trustworthy word as taught, so that he may be able to give instruction in sound doctrine and also to rebuke those who contradict it” (Titus 1:9).
Yesterday’s challenges to sound doctrine may seem obvious to us today. But that doesn’t mean today’s challenges are as transparent as we may think.
The second 9Marks at Southeastern conference will consider why biblical theology is essential for the church, where it’s unexpectedly challenged, and how pastors can lead churches to exhibit the faithfulness Paul requires of Timothy.
Speakers include Daniel Akin, Thabiti Anyabwile, Matt Chandler, Mark Dever and David Platt. Student cost is $35.
FIDES—L’Abri in Wake Forest
Students, faculty, staff, friends, family, and neighbors are invited to the home of Professor and Mrs. Heimbach for interactive conversation on any question you have. Following the format of Francis Schaeffer for L’Abri, we seek honest answers to honest questions guided by confidence in the reliability of the Word of God. The Heimbach’s live at 550 Robinson Drive directly behind the nearby WF/R High School football stadium. Meetings are from 7-9 pm on April 23, and May 14. Refreshment provided. Drivers please park on the street, not in the driveway.

Important Dress Code Reminder
Spring weather has arrived! Please seek to honor God with the decisions you make regarding your choice of clothing. Students and their families are expected to dress modestly. The seminary’s position is that immodest clothing damages one’s Christian testimony, so clothes such as short skirts/dresses/shorts and tank tops are discouraged. These items, as well as hats, are not allowed in class or in chapel.
Please let modesty guide your choice of clothing. It is important to consider your fellow brothers and sisters, making sure you do not aid a fellow believer in stumbling in their walk with Christ. To view Southeastern’s dress code in its entirety, please see the Student Handbook.
CFC Mentorship Program
The Center for Faith and Culture is beginning the application process for the 2010-2011 Mentorship Program. The Mentorship Program at the CFC is designed to mentor a small cadre of students interested in thinking critically about crucial cultural issues in light of biblical Christianity. The format will examine different areas of culture in order to identify basic assumptions, beliefs, and values that give shape to the prevailing ideas and practices of Western culture. The end point is to think about how evangelical Christianity might respond in a constructive, but corrective fashion. The group will meet once or twice a month for thought-provoking discussions which will involve certain pre-meeting assignments. These assignments may include short selected readings, questions for discussion and/or selected subjects for research.
The group will begin meeting the first part of September 2010. The deadline for application is April 20, 2010. Please visit http://www.sebts.edu/faithandculture/resources/enrichment.aspx for further details about how to apply.
CFC Research Assistant Program
The Center for Faith and Culture is offering an opportunity for two or three qualified students to work with the Director in doing research for the Center. These students must show aptitude for research, have an interest in the general work of the Center, and be willing to give up to five (5) hours a week for doing research. The selection process will be by personal interview with the Director. Persons interested should email Julie Anne Galyean at jgalyean@sebts.edu for an appointment with Dr. Little. The interview process will close September 7, 2010.

Become a Part of Ministry Teams @ SEBTS
Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary hopes to serve local churches and be a servant to them in fulfilling their mission. A new initiative begun by Southeastern to facilitate this hope is “Ministry Teams.” This initiative hopes to provide churches with speakers and musicians for special events throughout the year. We are seeking to grow our list of speakers, musicians, and “Discipleship Now” break out leaders. This list of speakers and musicians will include students, staff, and faculty. These speakers and musicians will be able to help serve the church by speaking or leading music at Discipleship Now weekends, Revivals, Spiritual Formation seminars, College events, Youth events, Missions Conferences, Men’s events, Women’s events, Sport’s ministries, Sportsmen’s Ministries, Marriage Conferences, Theological Seminars, and through Pulpit supply just to name a few. It is our hope that we will become a resource to the church to be used as they have need. If you are interested in more information check out the website (www.sebts.edu/teams) or contact through email (nakin@sebts.edu).
