The No Greater Love Mardi Gras outreach for 2011 is just a month away. This is the latest in a series of emails aimed at helping you to prepare well so that this may be our best year to date.
Reminder – the deadline for taking advantage of the discounted registration is February 21.
You may register on-line at: http://www.nogreaterlove.org/application.html
This week’s emphasis is on Study. For No Greater Love Ministries, Study is one of the four points of the cross and very important to all our efforts.
We always encourage men to develop a habit of daily Bible reading. Reading the chapter of Proverbs corresponding to the day of the month is a simple format and informs one’s life with godly wisdom from day to day and year to year. In addition, reading daily devotional books like My Utmost for His Highest by Oswald Chambers is also a powerful source of challenge and inspiration. Many men have also found resources like The One Year Bible an excellent way to read the Bible comprehensively.
NGL emphasizes these applications of Study of God’s Holy Word:
Read – simply reading the Scripture informs your mind and often raises questions.
Study – this is the process of searching for answers and thinking more deeply about the Bible.
Memorize – to memorize the Scripture is to internalize it and to have it most available for your use as a godly man.
Meditate – to meditate is to contemplate and to deeply apply the truth of Scripture to your heart and life.
Here are a few scriptures which you can study prior to our days in New Orleans and along the Gulf coast:
2 Corinthians 6:1-13
Galatians 2:11-20
2 Samuel 11:1-17
John 21:15-22
