silver-laced light shone in the outer room as I lead the way for the search party when suddenly sparks blew out what light we had and threw us into utter despair for our life.

The proverbs1 of Solomon2 son of David, king of Israel:32
for attaining wisdom and discipline; for understanding words of insight;
3
for acquiring a disciplined and prudent life, doing what is right and just and fair;
4
for giving prudence to the simple,4 knowledge and discretion5 to the young--
5
let the wise listen and add to their learning,6 and let the discerning get guidance--
6
for understanding proverbs and parables,7 the sayings and riddles8 of the wise.97
The fear of the LORD10 is the beginning of knowledge, but foolsa despise wisdom11 and discipline.12

Listen, my son,13 to your father's14 instruction and do not forsake your mother's teaching.159
They will be a garland to grace your head and a chain to adorn your neck.1610
My son, if sinners entice17 you, do not give in18 to them.1911
If they say, "Come along with us; let's lie in wait20 for someone's blood, let's waylay some harmless soul;
12
let's swallow21 them alive, like the grave,b and whole, like those who go down to the pit;2213
we will get all sorts of valuable things and fill our houses with plunder;
14
throw in your lot with us, and we will share a common purse23"--
15
my son, do not go along with them, do not set foot24 on their paths;2516
for their feet rush into sin,26 they are swift to shed blood.2717
How useless to spread a net in full view of all the birds!
18
These men lie in wait28 for their own blood; they waylay only themselves!2919
Such is the end of all who go after ill-gotten gain; it takes away the lives of those who get it.30

Wisdom calls aloud31 in the street, she raises her voice in the public squares;
21
at the head of the noisy streetsc she cries out, in the gateways of the city she makes her speech:
22
"How long will you simple onesd32 love your simple ways? How long will mockers delight in mockery and fools hate33 knowledge?
23
If you had responded to my rebuke, I would have poured out my heart to you and made my thoughts known to you.
24
But since you rejected34 me when I called35 and no one gave heed36 when I stretched out my hand,
25
since you ignored all my advice and would not accept my rebuke,
26
I in turn will laugh37 at your disaster;38 I will mock39 when calamity overtakes you40--
27
when calamity overtakes you like a storm, when disaster41 sweeps over you like a whirlwind, when distress and trouble overwhelm you.
28
"Then they will call to me but I will not answer;42 they will look for me but will not find me.4329
Since they hated knowledge and did not choose to fear the LORD,4430
since they would not accept my advice and spurned my rebuke,4531
they will eat the fruit of their ways and be filled with the fruit of their schemes.4632
For the waywardness of the simple will kill them, and the complacency of fools will destroy them;4733
but whoever listens to me will live in safety48 and be at ease, without fear of harm."49

Frequently Asked Questions
What if I'm having trouble with my DTS-Logos system?
Please contact Logos first at 800-875-6467. If they cannot resolve the problem, please contact Josh Winn (jwinn@dts.edu).
How do I get the software?
You can download the core Logos software using the links below. The software will automatically download the package. Logos will email you to let you know when to expect the download to complete.
Please register an account with Logos by noon on Tuesday, August 27, if you don't already have one. Be sure to use the email address you have on file with DTS.
Why is DTS providing Logos to students?
DTS believes in equipping lifelong learners, whether on the Dallas campus or around the world, with the best tools and training available so that they will experience fruitful ministries for years to come.
Who will be able to use a Logos Bible Software system?
Any enrolled DTS student taking a course for credit and not graduating fall 2013. Unfortunately, audit-only students will not receive the Logos software. Due to a prolonged phase-in process that will extend over the 2013-2014 academic year, this system will also not be available to students graduating fall 2013. Logos has agreed to work with fall 2013 grads by offering great products at specially reduced price. Stay tuned for more details in the coming months. For audit-only students and fall 2013 grads, the Seminary will refund $50 of the technology fee designated for this project.
How long will I have access?
The Logos software package is designed to be a lifelong resource for DTS students and graduates. With the exception of fall 2013 graduates, All enrolled students have access while they are taking courses at DTS. Students who graduate from any master's or doctoral degree program beginning in spring 2014 will keep their Logos access for life.
Are there any restrictions on the lifetime access?
Yes. Students who graduate in fall 2013 (and earlier) will not have access to the software package. Students in the Certificate of Biblical and Theological Studies and Certificate of Graduate Studies programs, as well as non-degree students, will have access only while they are enrolled at DTS.
I'm a fall 2013 graduate or a certificate student. How can I get Logos after I graduate?
Logos has agreed to work with fall 2013 grads and certificate students to find the best package at a special price. More information will follow in the coming months.
Will I get any training?
Yes. In addition to Logos online training, Logos will conduct on site training in Dallas and Houston a number of times each year. The format and date of these training sessions is still to be determined, but the Seminary will make multiple announcements as they approach so students can readily take advantage of them.
How much does it cost and how much will it save me on book purchases?
DTS underwrites the cost through donor support and a small portion of the technology fee. So, there is no extra cost for the student. By contrast, in addition to saving anywhere from $300-$700 on required books (depending on the degree program), students gain a library valued at over $14,000.
Are resources available in languages other than English?
Yes. While the default package contains English resources, select students may receive a modified package with either Chinese or Biblioteca Premier Bilingüe v.5.
What if I already own a Logos package?
Regardless of your package, any resources in the DTS package that you don't already own will be added to your library. If you already have a Logos.com account, please ensure that the account uses the same email address as the one you have on file with DTS. Please update your account by noon on Tuesday, August 27.
Resources that you purchased in the past or will purchase in the future will remain yours. They will not be overwritten or taken away from you.
Is there a discount for DTS alumni?
Yes! Logos is also offering DTS alumni a 15% discount on all base packages at www.logos.com/dts.
The mission of Dallas Theological Seminary is to glorify God by equipping godly servant-leaders for the proclamation of His Word and the building up of the body of Christ worldwide.
At it's core, Christianity is about the good news that God has made a way for you to be "right" with Him.
All of us have broken God's laws at some point. It may be that you stole something as a child or it maybe that you've told a lie. What have you done that is against God's laws? (Romans 3:10-12; Ecclesiastes 7:20)
God is perfect and just. As such he has to punish all bad behavior. The Bible says that God will punish those who have broken his law by sending them to Hell, the everlasting lake of fire. (Revelation 21:8; 1 Corinthians 6:9-10)
Be honest with yourself. If God were to judge you today based on the 10 commandments, would you be innocent or guilty? Where would you be sent; Heaven or Hell?
God knows that we are incapable of completely keeping His laws, so in His love he has provided a way to escape the punishment that we deserve. God sent his son Jesus, who lived a perfect life without breaking God's law. Jesus was then able to pay the punishment for the wrong-doing of those who believe in Him. We owed a fine for breaking God's law that we could never pay, but Jesus paid it for those who believe. (Matthew 5:48; Galatians 4:4-5; 1 Peter 2:24; Isaiah 53:4-5; John 3:16-18)
If we turn away from the things that we do that are against God's law and trust Jesus to satisfy God's punishment, the Bible says that we are made new again and that we are "right with God." You can know, now and forever, that God loves you and that He will take you to Heaven someday when you die. (2 Corinthians 5:17: Romans 3:24-26; Romans 5:1,9; Titus 3:5-7; John 5:24: John 14:1-3)
What now?
Believers in Jesus Christ always want to learn more about Him and to be more like him. The best way to do that is to do the following:
Pray. Pray that God will teach you His ways and show you how to be more like Him.
Start reading the Bible (we recommend the King James Bible)
Look for a good local church to attend that teaches straight out of the Bible. We are a Baptist church for a reason. We believe Baptist church doctrine and we believe the best possible church for you to learn about Jesus is in a church that teaches historically accurate Baptist doctrine.
You can also start learning more about Jesus right now by listening to our church's online sermons.
