Bible Study Verse
Ephesians 5:25
Husbands, love your
wives,
just as
Christ loved the church and gave Himself
up
for her . . ..
(NIV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thoughts
When visiting a friend at his home, I
noticed a sign
hanging next to his game trophies which
read:
WE
INTERRUPT THIS MARRIAGE FOR THE
HUNTING
SEASON.
Is this a rut into which
sportsmen tend to fall? I've found that I
must maintain a balance. Our scripture
verse tells us to
have a
sacrificial love for our wives. Philipppians
2:4 states: Each of
you should look not only to your own
interests, but
also the interests of others. Do we
consider the
needs and interests of our wives and
children who
don't hunt? As the
spiritual head of
the family, it is important to set an example
and have
our priorities in order. (TL)
Action Point
Instead of scheduling back-to-back hunting
weekends
from September through December, meet
with your
family and plan some activities together.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sportsmen's Tip of the
Day
When you are hunting on the Lord's Day,
take time
before you leave to read a devotional and
have prayer
time.
