DEAR FRIENDS
W
ith every experience there are opportunities for reflection and
improvement. We are very pleased with the impact that our
materials have had on the tens of thousands of people worldwide
who have used them to study the Bible. Each week we hear
from many who simply want to tell us how much these teachings have
“changed their lives.”
It is against that backdrop that I am excited about the changes that
are happening within the Koinonia Institute. I empaneled a committee
of three professional educators and former pastors to help us understand
our strengths, identify our weaknesses, and provide us with a cohesive
way forward for Koinonia Institute. Their analysis was comprehensive
and their recommendations are well founded within the scope of sound
educational practice. This news journal will give you a small insight
into some of the exciting changes that will soon appear within the
Koinonia Institute.
Please remember to pray for the leadership of Koinonia House
and Koinonia Institute.
God bless you,

• To encourage and facilitate both individual and small group weekly
study programmes for personal growth; and
• To research, monitor and publish information to stimulate
awareness of the strategic trends that impact our times and our

KI had awarded more than 3,000 Bronze Medallions, nearly 100 Silver
Medallions and a dozen Gold Medallions.
The Academic Review Committee
In July of 2015 an Academic Review Committee was established
to conduct an analysis of the overall operation of Koinonia Institute.
The committee was made up of Stan Honn (KI Registrar), Chris Corlett
(KI Deputy Provost), and myself. We were tasked with examining the KI
course offerings, student performance, and any glaring problems with the
current online system. We were then instructed to review the educational
best practices and e-learning standards which are implemented on other
educational websites and to make recommendations for improvement
and expansion of the KI experience. We focused on three educational
areas: Curriculum (What we learn), Andragogy (How adults learn), and
Assessment (What we actually learned). With that in mind, we were
very self-critical in that we looked for the “cracks and breaks” in our
current system. Overall, the material in the Berean Track were found to
be sound and of good quality but the student experience and assessments
were lacking. Both the Issachar and Koinonos Tracks fell well below
our desired goals and were in need of extensive rework and relaunch.
The KI Student portal (KI website) has a number of user issues that
need to be addressed and improved. All in all, we can see lots of areas
that need attention and updating.
After four months of evaluation and discussion among
the ARC members, we presented our preliminary findings to
the Koinonia House Board Members in October of 2015.
After a further review we finalized our report to the Board
and are now in the initial improvement implementation
phase. These changes are still in the process of
being developed and built. Therefore, we will be
announcing them on the KI Study Center
website as they roll out. Please continue
to pray for God to lead and guide us
through this process.

Improvements to Come
1) Improvements to the Issachar and Koinonos Tracks:
• Previously the Issachar Track was focused on giving students the
experience of creating strategic briefings. For many, this emphasis
has discouraged those who do not feel they have the skills or desire
to produce these kinds of materials. Instead, the Issachar Track
is going to offer more classes on discernment, critical thinking,
and evidential evaluation.
• Previously the Koinonos Track was focused on encouraging the
students to find and fulfil their calling (all be it without any
instruction on how to do this). This was primarily achieved
through simply awarding of K-Credits for student ministry service.
Experience has now shown us that rather than being a motivation
for ministry service it has become a stumbling block to some
who find it difficult to first understand their calling and then to
become active in that calling. Therefore, the Koinonos Track will be
offering many new classes on how to be an Ambassador of Christ.
From evangelism to ministry in the home, our new series of classes
will hopefully inspire you to become a fruitful servant of our Lord.
2) Creating the Repository of Your Biblical Knowledge:
• You will have your own KI work/storage space that is yours to
record your journey through the Bible and in your ministry.
This repository will be available on your computer and mobile
devices all of the time so you can gain access to your personal
notes and information any time you need it.
• Access to all of your quizzes, tests, and discussion questions on all
of your completed classes. This will provide an easy way to provide
an up-to-date transcript of all of your work.
• Embedding of your personal notes within each class session.
This will allow you to document your insights, questions,
and conclusions for later reference.
• You will be able to publish your thoughts within KI for comments
and questions.
• Join ongoing forums or create new ones to discuss the issues that
matter to you the most.

– Albert Einstein
pages we find the answers to the biggest question of life.
What does the universe tell us about its Creator, and what has He
done to reveal Himself to us? Above all else, that is what this little book
is all about.
Information Versus Noise
We generally recognize the difference between order and disorder.
A code is ordered. A communication signal is ordered. They are both
meant to be recognized and interpreted and understood, because their
very purpose is to transfer information. Language is ordered. Music is
ordered. As language is garbled or music becomes chaotic, the result is
noise. The transfer of information has ceased, and cacophony has taken
its place.
In science, it’s exceptionally important to distinguish the
difference between real information and “noise.” Let’s say a
mining company wants to know the concentration of cadmium,
lead and arsenic in the rock before they start digging, because they don’t
want these toxins to leach into the local rivers. They take samples of the
rock and send the samples to a local lab where the rocks are tested using
sensitive instruments. Let’s say that one of the instruments has a high
VOLUME 26 | ISSUE 4 |
15
COVER CONTENTS ORDER
Personal UPDATE | APRIL 2016
background noise for cadmium. That is, the instrument gives a reading
of 2ppm (parts per million) cadmium even when testing completely
pure water. The testing lab knows this. They’ve tested the instrument
repeatedly, and they know they have to account for this background
noise before making their report on the cadmium concentration in the
rock. With each run, they test a “blank” sample of pure water. When
their instrument reads 15ppm of cadmium in a sample, they minus the
blank’s reading for the background noise and report 13ppm cadmium.
In science, “noise” is the opposite of true information. Noise is
disordered and chaotic. In Greek, the word chaos means “disordered”
or “void,” and the word cosmos means “order” or “arrangement.” Noise
exists everywhere, and it can cause confusion. It requires purposeful
energy to make and keep things ordered — to create true information
and separate it from the noise.
An engineer trying to design a communications system has the
job of improving the signal-to-noise ratio. The engineer wants to get
as much signal and as little noise as possible so that information can
be communicated clearly with little confusion. Anybody who has used
walkie talkies knows the difficulty in trying to understand somebody
when the words are drowned out by hissing and crackling sounds.
The same principle applies in anything we try to accomplish;
we have to put in effort to make things ordered. The second law of
thermodynamics states that the randomness of a system — its entropy —
will always increase in a closed system. No machine is perfectly efficient.
The directed energy used to make the machine whir gets randomized and
energy melts away into the universe and is lost for any useful purpose.
We spend a weekend cleaning up the garage. How long does it stay that
way? The kitchen. The hall closet. We spend purposeful, thought-out
energy making order, but randomness takes over.
Information scientists use both deterministic and stochastic models
to make predictions. In deterministic models, the end result is predictable
based on known parameters and initial conditions. Three plus two equals
five. If we sell seven shirts for $5 each, we will gross $35. A stochastic
model, on the other hand, includes a random variable. We might know
16 | VOLUME 26 | ISSUE 4
COVER CONTENTS ORDER
APRIL 2016 | Personal UPDATE
the parameters and initial conditions, but because of this random variable
we get different outcomes. We can set certain bounds for that variable
and so know that our results will fall within a certain range of results,
but we aren’t sure exactly which it will be. For instance, we might know
how many people will come into a room, and we might know their ages
and their incomes, but we don’t know their heights. We only know that
they are most likely between 4’7” and 6’11” and we make our predictions
based on that distribution range.
Elusive Randomness
This leads to the issue of pseudo-random numbers. It may be
surprising, but it’s almost impossible to create truly random numbers,
and yet scientists sometimes need them. In 1955, the Rand Corporation
in Santa Monica published a book called One Million Random Digits,
with 100,000 Normal Deviates.
The average layman would look at that and laugh, because the
book is just lists and lists of random numbers. The untaught
civilian would consider such a book completely
ridiculous, but there are people who pay good
money for random numbers. It took
the most advanced company
of the day to generate this
product and to give
buyers the assurance
that the number
lists were truly
random.

The Seventy Week Prophecy of Daniel 9 includes the most incredible

to have known.
In a confidential briefing to His disciples, Jesus also highlights this passage as

As Nancy looked into the story of Job, a powerful light shines upon
this mystery when Job speaks at the very end of his affliction saying,
“I have heard of Thee by the hearing of the ear; but now mine eye sees
Thee…” (Job 42:5)
Something incredible happened to Job during that night of darkness that
he went through. The word “see” is the word ra’ah in Hebrew, which also can
mean to “experience.” Ironically, it was the darkness that ultimately caused Job
to spiritually “see” or experience his Creator as he never had before. During that
long night of loss, God’s faithful servant was transformed into God’s intimate
friend. And the Bible ends his story with these remarkable words, “…the Lord
blessed the latter end [days] of Job more than his beginning.” (Job 42:12)
I have the blessing and honor of speaking and praying with many Christians
who are currently enduring a similar season of sorrow and hardship. These are
faithful men and women who have continually sought the Lord for direction,
loved Him and even taught others about Him. When God allows crushing
circumstances to enter our lives, if we are not prepared and do not understand
what is happening, we can often find our faith shipwrecked and our trust
shattered.

I
n the appendix of his definitive work Cosmic Codes: Hidden Messages from the
Edge of Eternity, Dr. Missler lists nearly two hundred rhetorical devices
employed throughout the Holy Bible. Dr. Missler writes, “Many
forms of multi-level and reflexive codes and rhetorical devices… are
employed in communication and language, and the Biblical corpus of
text is no exception.” He continues, “The exploitation of metaphors,
analogies, similes and types in the Bible is particularly provocative in
that they often reach across the individual authors and the era in which
they were written.”1

Logos Pathos
and reaches valid conclusions. Ethos refers to the credibility of the
speaker. What qualifies the speaker to know what he claims and what
character traits inspire confidence that the speaker is honest and impartial
in his assertions? Pathos refers to the audience and its shared values
and emotional connection. Politicians and advertisers rely heavily on
pathos when evoking an emotional news story or when using a cute
animal to sell a product. An equilateral triangle often depicts this
relationship and implies that each element should be present in roughly
equal measure for a presentation to be more effective and persuasive.
Too much information can tire an audience – “the head can only absorb
what the seat can endure!” Too much identification with the audience
can come across as pandering and compromise the credibility of the
speaker. The oft-quoted phrase “Nobody cares how much you know
unless they know how much you care” comments on the relationship
between logos and pathos. The Greek words serve as mnemonics for
their respective meanings:
• Logos: The “words” which are spoken and the facts upon which
they are based
• Ethos: The “ethics” of the speaker in terms of credibility
and proficiency of the topic
• Pathos: The “sympathetic” connection with the readers or listeners
which shows an understanding of where they are at in terms
of predisposition and values

One of the last instructions given by Jesus to the Church was, “Go into all the
world and preach the gospel.” (Mark 16:15)
The fact is most Christians don’t know how to share their faith effectively.
Sadly, many of the people they know in the world today are wandering
