Ivan Venter:
Building Godly Characeter
Bible Study Leader

Welcome to our Christian Character Bible study!

Hi I'm Ivan Venter and live in Potchefstroom South-Africa. I am currently doing my practical year to become a full time Pastor in the ministry. I love the Lord with all my heart and also want to serve Him in everything that I do.

I am married for about a year and four months now. I love my wife very much and adore the role that she plays in my life. She is my partner in life, my best friend and my companion in Christ.

Christian Character: Passion

God has given me a passion to encourage the flame that He has put inside each one of us. When we look at our character in Christ we see that this is the furnace room of our lives and if the fire is burning low here, our passion for Christ will also suffer.

Christian Character: Why

We live, we grow and change as a world. With that in mind I think that our character is most fragile when it comes to our relationship with God.

Paul touches on this when he writes in Romans 12: 2 that we have to be transformed by the renewing of the mind and in the same time not to be conformed to this world. This however leaves us with a lot of questions:

The roles we play in our communities
In each others lives and
How to get to the practical side of being a testimony in this world.

These can only be answered by looking and digging into our character in Christ.
