How To Prepare A Bible Study

I’m going to be teaching this in a workshop on Saturday at our Men’s Retreat.  Here’s a preview..

How To Prepare A Bible Study

Introduction

First things first:  YOUR MAIN GOAL IN PREPARING A BIBLE STUDY:

Is to communicate a truth, that will enable people to experience their relationship with God more richly..

And glorify Him more abundantly..

Podcast

We finally have a podcast at cccville which is probably, really going to be updated regularly.

Most people have itunes (I don’t) and if you do, you can subscribe to the podcast w/that program.  If you don’t want to use itunes because it tries to dominate your computer and lock you into complete and total submission, then you can download (FOR FREE) another program to ‘catch’ and download each new audio file that we upload into the podcast feed (you don’t need to know what I mean by ‘podcast feed’ – even though I actually am referring to the rss feed which looks like a big long string of confusing code)

If you are anti-itunes… don’t feel bad.  Everybody is pressuring you to use itunes.  You don’t have to.  You can use JUICE. (note:  that word JUICE is actually a link which will take you directly to the JUICE website.  I only mention this in case my mom is reading)

Here is the address that you give to itunes or JUICE to subscribe to the podcast.  http://www.3cville.com/cccville.xml

… or, you can just click HERE

Once you’ve subscribed, your computer will automatically download every new message that we upload.

Pretty cool huh?

Why are Unhappy Americans Making False Claims about Obama’s Health Care Proposal?

(let’s start this out with a good knee jerk reaction) -Because they’re not false.  This has “Nazi” written all over it.

(update:)

Fortunately, this version of the bill is apparently off the table.  It’s funny what happens when Americans find out what the government is really up to.  Word has it, that the next version won’t be made public.  If this is any indication of what’s to come, it’s obvious that the government wants to gain more and more control of our lives.  Concerning “Nazi” statement…  look at your history.  Before they started rounding up Jews and being all ‘evil’.  Look how they started.  You will see similarities.

(end of update:)

Page 22 of the HC Bill: Mandates that the Govt will audit books of all employers that self insure!!  (businesses that don’t burden the government by using the government’s service, are going to be punished.  They have to pay more, if they don’t use the service.  INSANE IN THE MEMBRAIN)
Page 30 Sec 123 of HC bill – THERE WILL BE A GOVT COMMITTEE that decides what treatments/benefits you get.
Page 29 lines 4-16 in the HC bill: YOUR HEALTH CARE IS RATIONED!!!

What’s The Big Idea?

Is it vision?  Is it imagination?  Is it inspiration?

Maybe it’s the pressure of expectation.  Maybe it’s all about the process, and not so much about the fulfillment.

Maybe it’s for someone else.

Whatever it is, I don’t know how to define it any longer.

GRACE (excerpt from Romans Commentary by William Newell)

I. The Nature of Grace

1. Grace is God acting freely, according to His own nature of Love; with no promises or obligations to fulfill; and acting of course, righteously – in view of the Cross.

2. Grace, therefore, is uncaused in the recipient: its cause lies wholly in the GIVER, in GOD.

3. Grace, also is sovereign. Not having debts to pay, or fulfilled conditions on man’s part to wait for, it can act toward whom, and how, it pleases. It can, and does, often, place the worst deserver in the highest favor.

A Shameless Plea for Support

This a plea. It is shameless.

We are suffering from a stinky economy.

There is still time.

These are life-transforming opportunities.

Four of my children have been on 2-month long mission trips overseas. Phebe went to Egypt and worked in an orphanage. Evan went to the outback of Australia and built an airstrip. Katie went elsewhere in Australia and did evangelism and painting. Dylan went to Cambodia and poured the 2nd floor for a Bible School there.

This summer, two of my children are desiring to return. They have both raised over 50% of their support. They still need a lot more.

Dylan is going to Papua. He will be sleeping in a tent and bathing in a bucket while he’s there. His team is helping to construct a facility for a Bible School. There are already Bible School students there, but they don’t have a facility to hold their classes in. Towards the end of the project, Dylan’s team will join these students from Papua and will head out to do evangelism on the Spice Islands.

Dylan still needs $2300.00

Katie is going to Malawi. She is on, what they call a “foot washing” team. They bring with them, hundreds of pairs of shoes, socks and medical supplies. Since their baggage is limited, and they need to bring the shoes, each team member can only bring enough personal items to fit into a back-pack. In respect of the culture in Malawi, the girls will be wearing skirts the entire time they are there, and will purchase these when they land in Malawi. They will then be visiting orphanages every day… providing medical care, socks and shoes for these children. The #1 reason why children contract sickness and disease in Africa, is because of their unprotected feet.

Katie still needs $1995.00

http://teenmissions.org/teams/09008-malawi/

Please pray for my children. If you can, please consider supporting them. They need their support by June 20th.

If you can support them, please send a check (or two, they have to receive separate checks for each team) -made out to: Teen Missions Int’l

to: Dylan and Katie Myhre – 1367 Union Mills Road – Troy, VA. 22974

Thanks a ton!

CCCville’s 2009 Men’s Retreat

Extremist

The government has recently sent this report out to all the local and national law enforcement agencies.  In general, the report is highlighting the recent dangers that exist amongst radical right-wing groups here in The United States.  If you read this report, you will see that it actually does address valid concerns concerning some small isolated groups of racially hate-driven radicals.  These groups don’t make the news very often.  They are, however, putting up web sites and stockpiling weapons and ammunition.  For this reason, the law enforcement agencies are being told the obvious.  “Keep an eye on your local Neo-Nazi Club.”  -Wow.  Big wake up call for the cops.  I can’t imagine that this would be new news to them.

If you are a rational human being, you will agree that groups like this are completely and totally off their rocker.  They hate the Jews for running the world and they hate every race, excluding their own, for the simple sake of ignorance.

the government is worried that these groups are going to recruit military trained war veterans.  There are a lot of soldiers returning from the Middle East.  The report makes a returning soldier out to be a threat because of their training and their potential to be recruited.

The report has also made some of us non military Americans out to be a threat.  If you read through the report, you will agree that racially driven hate groups are bad.  The report then capitalizes on the ignorance and fear of the average American (I don’t think we’re ignorant, but the government sure does), by tacking on those who:

1. Oppose Abortion

2. Oppose Current Immigration Policies

The Schilling Show

It’s 9:19 am on Friday, April 10th.  In a little while I have to get together some sound equipment to lend out and help someone else make some color copies.  After that, I have to drop off my son at PVCC.  After that, I’ll be on the Schilling Show with Rob for an hour.  (there is some “after that” stuff for the afternoon, part of which includes an hour at SNAP Fitness).

If you had a chance to hear the show today and want to talk about some of the stuff we covered, I welcome your comments.

The podcast will be on this page, probably within the next day or two.

Godspeace!
