Short Story of the Los Angeles Bible Institute.
i Bible Schools are a produet of the times—an outgrowth of cer- tain conditions; they are God's agency for an emergency. God foresees a need and supplies it. He laid the foundations over a quarter of a century ago, when the work of undermining the faith in the Word of God began to take definite shape in this country. God must hav workmen and they must be trained in His Word. At present comparatively few men are entering the ministry. Many large seminaries are destitute of students. Hundreds of small churches are without pastors.; Other hundreds are closed en- tirely. There are thousands .of unoccupied fields throughout the land, and more than half of the earth's inhabitants have never heard the Gospel. There are constant calls for men and women who can do things for God. The Church needs Sunday School teachers, helpers, evangelists, and leaders who know the Bible, and it is to meet this demand that God has raised up in different sections of the land Bible Schools where men and women can be trained in a knowledge of the Bible and practical work in the saving and sanctifying of souls. These schools are not theological seminaries; they are not designed to be competitors—they could not be. The Bible is the book of the common people, and a work- ing knowledge of the Bible is the first great requisite in equipment for service among the people, and to give this instruction is the task committed by God to Bible Institutes., Is an incorporated institution with an uncompormising Bible standard, for which it makes no apology. It is fair to those who are in any way interested that its doctrinal position should be clearly stated. We hold to the historic faith of the evangelical church, and teach: The Trinity of the Godhead. The Deity of the Christ.
