New Testament Greek
"Let us be clear on this: we are not likely to retain the Gospel without the languages. The languages are the scabbards in which the sword of the Spirit is held. They are the keg in which the drink is kept. They are the pantry in which this food is stored... Therefore it is certain that where the languages do not remain, the Gospel itself will ultimately perish."
At Calvary Bible Church Medway we believe in the value for everyone, both Pastors and laypeople alike, in being able to read the Bible in the original languages.
For that reason we have set up our New Testament Greek Ministry to enable as many people as possible to learn the Greek of the New Testament.
"As ministers and people who love God with our hearts, souls, minds, and collective strength, let us be balanced in all that we do. Let us seek God’s truth through the original languages with every fiber of our being so our practice will be as effective as it can possibly be. Let us accomplish the task before us with every available tool, including Greek and Hebrew, so we will be ministers of complete integrity. Let us devote ourselves to the study of the scriptures with the languages so we will honor the God who brought them to us."
"In the measure that we love the Gospel, so let us place strong emphasis on the languages. For it is not without reason that God wrote the Scriptures in the two languages Hebrew and Greek. That language which God did not despise but rather chose above all others for the final revelation of His Word is the language which we also should honor above all others. It is a sin and shame that we do not learn this language of our Book, especially since God has now provided us all kinds of things which both help us with this task and at the same stimulates us to do this."
