For years I was guilty of neglecting a relationship with other men. That's all changed now. Matter a fact I will be enjoying a nice breakfast with about 25 men later this morning.
A Daily Study of God's Word for Christian Sportsmen
January 27, 2011
Today's Photograph . . . . The Forest Floor Is Scratched Bare (MQ)
Bible Study Verse
Hebrews 10:25
Not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near. (ESV)
Thoughts
"Birds of a feather flock together," is especially helpful when you are trying to shoot them. Fall turkey hunting is the pursuit of turkeys in flocks.
You'll know it when you find them. The forest floor, under the canopies of big oaks or beech trees, is scratched bare from the presence of not just one, but many turkeys.
I've always been amazed that an effective turkey caller, imitating one turkey, can bring in an entire flock.
(Matt F)
Action Point
Perhaps one of the most distinctive marks of the biblical Christian is that he or she lives in community with other brothers and sisters, "meeting together" as this verse says, in the church. Someone has once well said that there is no churchless Christianity.
I wonder; are you neglecting "the flock?" If so, find your place among God's people in a Bible-saturated, Christ-centered church.
Sportsmen's Tip of the Day
Learn from the experts. Turkey callers who have mastered the subtle variety of turkey calls can give you an arsenal of calls and techniques to bring in birds.
Feel free to forward this on to friends. Can you imagine if our whole community had great marriages? What would our churches be like? What would our homes be like?
We want you to be able to take part in this conference. If your schedule is holding you back, please don't let it. We want to work with you. We would be willing to meet with you for a showing or we're also considering maybe a Bible Study or Sunday School class time to view it as well as the February 11th & 12th. We're even willing to run the program in your home church at a later date if your church would allow it. But you need to register before the Jan, 23rd deadline to get the $35 price.
We even had a few more door prizes come in this week.
United Men of Faith is sponsoring the Iron Sharpens Iron Men's Conference again this year. This will be my 3rd year going. It's great to be surrounded by a few hundred men wanting to learn how to do it better. Check it out guys, it's a great event.
You may already know a little about the Art of Marriage conference that we are hosting at our church on February 11th & 12th. It seems some people got the wrong impression. Some thought that this was only for couples that had marriages in trouble. Believe me it's not. If your married or engaged to be married, it's for you. For $35 per couple you can't beat it! We even have door prizes.
The conference will hit several topics including:
SESSION 1: LOVE HAPPENS (PURPOSE OF MARRIAGE)
SESSION 2: LOVE FADES (DRIFT TO ISOLATION)
SESSION 3: LOVE DANCES (ROLES)
SESSION 4: LOVE INTERRUPTED (COMMUNICATION)
SESSION 5: LOVE SIZZLES (ROMANCE AND SEX)
SESSION 6: LOVE ALWAYS (LEGACY)
Now be honest, isn't there at least one of these topics you feel your marriage could improve on? Ruth and I have been married for 21 years and we found great info here.
Remember, early registration is only $35 until January 23rd. Registration will then be $45 from January 24th-30th. If you know of anyone else that would be interested, please pass it on.
Guys only! What do you think your wife will say if you tell her you want to take her to a marriage conference to improve your relationship? Do you really have to think about this? Come on it's even Valentine's Day weekend!
