Bible Study Verse
Ephesians 5:1-2
Be imitators of God, therefore, as
dearly loved children and live a life of love,
just as
Christ loved us and gave himself up for us
as a
fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
(NIV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thoughts
Just about every time I go into the woods, I
try to
be something I'm not; I imitate something
else--perhaps
a dying rabbit, to attract a coyote or
mountain lion; or maybe a worm, to attract
a smallmouth bass.
I almost always try to imitate something
that will
help me successfully outwit my prey.
In my
life as a
Christian, I have but One to
imitate--God--by being like His Son,
Jesus. One of the
ways Jesus taught us
to imitate God is by loving those He came
to seek
and to save. He loved us, even to the point
of death. That
is being like God; and that is what is going
to
attract
others to take God's "bait" and accept His
gift of
salvation. (CS)
Action Point
Being a Christian isn't all that
complicated. We are to
simply be like Jesus, and, therefore, be
like God. To
do that, we must love as Jesus loved--the
Father
above all else, and others as He loved
them.

Sportsmen's Tip of the Day
If you're going to go varmint calling, be
sure of the prey
species in the area where you're headed
and have the
appropriate calls. Then, listen to some
tapes or DVDs
and practice. That's right, drive the
neighbor's dog
crazy!
