Bible Memory #2

This has been a fun week with VBS every morning. I have been in charge of Rocket Rec. and this week would not have run as smooth as it has with out my three helpers, Patrick, Vincent, and Derek. Those three guys have been the best! In honor of VBS this week I thought that I should use today’s Bible Booster verse for our 2nd week of Bible Memory. So this week Bible verse come from Psalm 29:4

“The voice of the Lord is powerful; the voice of the Lord is full of majesty.”

Seat Belt Ad

So this youtube video was shared with me last week and all I have to say is WOW! This is seriously one of the best ads that I have ever seen. I always wear my seat belt but if I was Simonne who did not this video would totally make me change my habits.

Habits...Bible Memory

Habits, we all have them and whether we want to admit it or not they are a part of who we are as individuals. One of the underlying parts of my ministry is trying to instill good habits into the lives of the students, parents, and the advisors that are a part of the student ministry. Each letter in the word HABITS represents a different habit that we need to consistently working on so we can continue to grow in our faith with Jesus Christ.

The Habit that I am going to introduce to you today is Bible Memory. Some people have the gift of reading a Bible verse once and then they have it memorized, and those people drive me crazy, however everyone else has to spend time living in Gods word to be able to have it stored in our memory bank. One of the best things about Bible Memory is the time that we get to spend reading God’s Word and meditating on His Scripture.

Each week I am going to post a Bible verse and I am going to challenge you to join me in memorizing that Bible verse. How awesome will it be that in a year we will have 52 verses stored in our memory so that we can call on God’s Word when we need to.

Our first passage comes from Ephesians 4:29 –

“Let no corrupting talk come out of you mouth, but only such as is good for build up, as fits the occasion, that it my give grace to those who hear.”

In a world where it is so easy to fake fun of people, curse, gossip, and hurt other people lets spend time this week reflecting on these words from Paul. My prayer is that as we spend time this week in God’s Word that we will begin to see a change in words that come out of our mouths.

Back Home

Well we made it home safely and almost injury free. Curt cut his finger pretty bad while trying to pull some duck work out the floor but we were all thankful that he still had 10% of his tendon still connected in his middle finger. If he would have cut all the way through the tendon then he would have had to have surgery right away but with 10% still remaining he was able to get stitched up so he could meet with this own doctor at home.

We had a great time in Camden, NY with the people from Cluster 13 Ministries. They are incredible people and do great work in the name of Jesus Christ. God was at work in all of our hearts this past week. If you have the time I ask that you watch this nine minute video from our mission trip.
