CONVENTION 2006 ITINERARY
A WORD FROM THE EDITOR - FORTY FIFTH EDITION At the end of this edition is the itinerary for this year's convention that is being held at Destiny of Hope Fellowship in Aberdeen Washington July 28-30. Please be in prayer that God will move upon those who attend the services and that His Perfect Will be done in All things. Until next time...God bless each of you in all that you undertake! In Jesus Name, All editions of The W.I.N. E-Mail Newsletter are available on the Internet. To find them, navigate to Each day, select a passage in God's Word. Talk with the Lord as you read the passage, then go back and find one or two verses which the Lord has impressed on your heart and meditate on them. II. Bible Study In this edition, we are looking at the second major section of 2 Corinthians - chapters 8-9. For more background on the Macedonians, read Philippians 4:10-19. This section of 2 Corinthians can be divided into three subsections. Read each subsection, answering for yourself the questions associated with them. Type out your answers or jot them down on a piece of paper and place in your Bible for further study and meditation. Read 2 Corinthians 8:1-15 1. What was the "grace" that had been given to the Macedonians? (8:1,7) Read 2 Corinthians 8:16-9:5 1. What was Paul taking pains to do? (8:20-21) Read 2 Corinthians 9:6-15 1. What is necessary to do in order to "reap generously"? (9:6) III. Memory Verse Here are a few suggestions that may help you to memorize your memory verses: 1. Ask the Lord to help you remember his Word (see John 14:26). 2. Use the version of the Bible you are most familiar with. What you normally read in your Bible is what you need to be memorizing. 3. Don't just memorize the contents of the verse; memorize its "address" (the verse reference) as well. You can do this by following this pattern: Step 1: reference; Step 2: verse content; Step 3: reference. Then repeat steps 1-3. Note that you are quoting the reference twice as many times as you quote the actual verse content. This gives the verse a clear "reference tag." 4. After you have read your memory verse out aloud several times, try going through your memory verse without reading your computer screen. 5. Look up your memory verse in your Bible. Look at its immediate context and read the verses that come before and after your memory verse. 6. Print out your memory verse or jot it down on a piece of paper. Take this paper with you when you go to work or do other daily activities. Meditate on the meaning of the verse throughout the day. 7. During your noon appointment with the Lord, take out your memory verse and go over it again. Talk to the Lord about what this verse means to you personally. 8. In the evening (at either your evening study or your evening devotions), see if you can quote your memory verse from memory. Then, without looking at the memory verse itself, see if you can find it in your Bible. 9. The next day, before you begin committing a new verse to memory, rehearse your previous day's memory verse and see if you can remember it (without cheating!). 10. Finally, at the end of the week (possibly on Sunday), collect all your week's memory verses, rehearse them and see if you can recall them without reading them. Spend a little extra time on any verses you have difficulty recalling. 11. Remember: Don't just memorize a verse. Put it into practice (James 1:22). It is not being able to quote a verse from memory that counts. It is His Word abiding in your heart that counts (John 15:7). When you actually apply a verse consistently to your daily life; that is when you truly know that verse! This article is Copyright © 1999, The Online Bible College.

Welcome to this edition of the W.I.N. E-Mail Newsletter. We are continuing our study of 2 Corinthians. This is a fascinating book with many nuggets of wonderful information. I encourage each of you to take your time and study thoroughly as you go through the material. You will be truly blessed as you spend time with the Lord and search out the answers to the questions given.
