Bible Study Verse
Acts 17:10-12
As soon as it was
night,
the
brothers sent
Paul and Silas away to Berea. On arriving
there, they
went to the Jewish synagogue. Now the
Bereans
were of more noble character than the
Thessalonians,
for they received the message with great
eagerness
and examined the Scriptures every day to
see if what
Paul said was true. Many of the Jews
believed, as
did also a number of prominent Greek
women and
many Greek men. (NIV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thoughts
Ever had a slick sales person try and sell
you the
latest and greatest? Whether it's a car or
a firearm, a
good salesman will do their best to sell you
a bill of
goods. And if they think you know less
about the
product than they do, then Katie bar the
door, because
they'll pour on the salesmanship all the
harder! You wouldn't walk into a sporting
goods store and let
the young man behind the counter with only
a few
years hunting experience sell you a rifle of
a caliber
you've never heard of would you? You'd
probably ask
around, check the Internet (now there's a
good use for
that pc!) and do some research of your
own before
dropping the big bucks (no pun intended)
on a new
deer rifle
(RC)
Action Point
Back in the Apostle Paul's day, the
Bereans weren't
skeptics when he preached to them; they
were eager
to develop their own convictions about the
scriptures.
When Paul was teaching, they would go
home and
examine the scriptures every day.
(The Bible--not just
for Sunday anymore!) You cannot inherit
someone
else's convictions. Be like a Berean--get
into the Word
daily. Know the Word so that you may be
prepared in
season and out (2 Timothy 4:2).

Sportsmen's Tip of the
Day
We often pride ourselves on knowing a lot
about rifles, calibers, bows and broad
heads; but I
found out a few years ago I didn't know it
all. It took a
little humility; but while looking for an elk
rifle caliber
suitable for my 98-pound, 13-year-old
daughter, I asked a
number of people and found out just how
helpful
sportsman chat rooms are for this kind of
information. As you
might guess, there were many shooters out
there who
replied with the perfect elk round for a
young shooter.
I found the Talk Forums on the Cabela's
website to be
particularly helpful.
