Hi !
In this issue, you'll read:
THE BOOK OF 2nd CORINTHIANS - PART EIGHT
A WORD FROM THE EDITOR - FORTY SEVENTH EDITION Many thanks to Pastor Dell and Sister Brenda Johnson and all of their staff for the hard work they did in feeding the people and extending hospitality to everyone who attended. They all deserve a big round of applause and praise from those of us who were taken care of because we were made to feel really special. God bless you Pastor Dell, Sister Brenda, and all of your staff at Destiny of Hope Fellowship. 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 morning, 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 will be reading 2 Corinthians 10:1-11:15. This minor section 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 meditation and study. Read 2 Corinthians 10:1-6 1. How does Paul say he is appealing to the Corinthians? (10:1) Read 2 Corinthians 10:7-18 1. What was the purpose of the authority God had given Paul? (10:8) (note 13:10) Read 2 Corinthians 11:1-15 1. What is the foolishness that Paul asks the Corinthians to put up with? (11:1) 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.

We just arrived home a few days ago from the FCGM Annual Convention. Let me be the first to tell you that we had a marvelous time fellowshipping together. Pastor (now Bishop) Daniel from Voice of Gospel, India came and blessed us throughout the convention with his wisdom and knowledge. He spoke in the Saturday evening service and the Lord really moved upon the hearts of the people. I will try to get a report with some pictures for the next edition if possible.
