Meal
Time Devotions:
In
today's world. Sitting at the dinner table is a rare thing indeed.
With our busy schedules. Work, school, church, social events, family
events, work around the house and others. Dinner has become more of a
pit-stop than a family gathering.
The
original purpose of this book is to get your family talking about the
spiritual matters that count. To help prepare our children to face
life's matters God's way. With that said, I personally am using this
book for an entire different purpose.
I
am responsible for my church's Men's Ministry. Getting a group of men
together is much more difficult than even getting your family
together at the dinner table. Early morning is usually out of the
question due to work and family. After work is even harder. So what
do you do?
One
of the best ways for men to meet is at a local restaurant after work
for about 45 minutes to an hour at best. After work we are tired and
hungry. Meal Time Devotions is the perfect lesson plan for us.
Prayer, Appetizer, Main Course, Table Talk, then some Vitamins and
Minerals. The issues affecting our youth are very similar to what we
as men are facing in today's busy backwards world. The easy to follow
format of this book makes leading the group a breeze.
Table
Talk, open discussion is key to a productive Bible study group, in my
opinion. We sit down during Sunday School and listen. We listen to
the Sunday sermon. This is a chance to ask questions and discuss what
is going on in our lives while keeping God the focus of the
discussions.
Though
I am using this book for an entire different purpose, it works just
as easy with a group of men as it will with your family or any group
gathering. Easy and compact to carry around in your back pocket.
Youth Ministers wold benefit greatly by using this book too.
Vitamins
and Minerals is the closing session. Leaving everyone with God's Word
to follow for the rest of the evening and/or week. This book is a
wonderful tool.
Teach,
Preach and Reach!
