Outdoor Truths: Aiming Outdoorsmen Toward Christ Nov. 29th
Gary Miller ~ outdoortruths.org
As I am reminded of this issue, my mind is drawn to the church. It doesn’t take long to see the impact that most are making is nothing like it once was. Recent polls have uncovered the fact that the population is steadily moving away from church attendance and that Christianity is no longer the default religion in America. What this tells me is that the habitat has changed. What once was fertile ground for those seeking God has become in some places, barren and unproductive. Introspection is called for, and as I look within I see that there has been uncontrollable circumstances that has surrounded the church, but instead of working harder on keeping our ground fruitful, we have been satisfied to blame the “hawks” and “coyotes.” My friend, the church is still where mission work is most effective, but if you are not changing in order to keep up with the predators, your mission field will move to other ground. Devotions from a Hunting, Fishing, and Sports Father to His Son by Gary Miller Gary Miller, writer of the Outdoor Truths column has a new book especially for Dads and their sons. This collection of devotions from father to son draws upon the rich experiences of men who hunt, fish, love the outdoors, and all kinds of sports. It illustrates spiritual lessons for growing into the kind of men who follow Christ with zeal and who love their families with devotion.
