(2hrs)

Instructor: Charles Frederick Mugasha

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

The course is a study in Man as a living soul in God's image, who is a moral being.  We will be carefully looking into both the requirements and prohibitions that God's law expresses, and making applications in a thoughtful way.  We will cover worship, family, rest, life on earth, and civil issues in a principled way that encourage analysis and personal application.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

1.  To help you become aware of the issues and facts that affect our moral decisions. 

2.  To help you see God’s true design for His law, and how we relate to it through our              new life in Christ.

3.  To help you learn the value of this study to the Christian life.

4.  To help you gain discernment and avoid quick, rash, and painful decisions.

5.  To see the doctrinal issues raised so as to prepare you for your studies in other        Biblical classes
