This Devotion was written by Sportsmen Devotional and posted with permission Bible Study Verse: Romans 10:13 For, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." NIV. Acts 2:21  And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. NIV. Thoughts: It’s the time of the year in my neck of the woods to plan for the following fall hunting season. Hunting leases expire and are renewed yearly at this time of year. It opens the door for hunters to join leases and for hunting clubs to find new members. It also allows clubs to pick up more land to lease if any has become available. Hunters are making plans, and hunting clubs are making plans. I have to make decisions; I either have to pay and renew my membership in my current hunting lease or let it go and pay for a membership in another lease. If I don’t do anything, I will be left out and hard pressed to find good hunting grounds when the October archery season opens for deer hunting. I have to make plans. Action ...

  This Devotion was written by Sportsmen Devotional and posted with permission Bible Study Verse 1Peter 5:8 Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. NASB1995 Thoughts: I love heading out to the deer blind early in the morning during hunting season. It’s so peaceful, quiet, and relaxing that early in the morning. I get to spend some quality time with the Lord. But after a while of sitting, my mind can start to wander, and daydreaming starts to take over. I normally let it happen; what harm can come from this? Action Point: Jesus wants us to have a sober mind so we can keep focused on Him and His word. Peter reminds us to keep our minds sober so that when the evil one attacks us, we are ready. If we are not focusing our lives on Jesus and His word, we are not of a sober mind. Allowing your mind to go to a fantasy world is not for a sober mind, and it leaves you open to the evil one attacking you. Th...

  This Devotion was written by Sportsmen Devotional and posted with permission Bible Study Verse: Matthew 4:18-20 18 As Jesus was walking by the Sea of Galilee, He noticed two brothers, Simon who was called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen. 19 And He said to them, "Follow Me [as My disciples, accepting Me as your Master and Teacher and walking the same path of life that I walk], and I will make you fishers of men." 20 Immediately they left their nets and followed Him [becoming His disciples, believing and trusting in Him and following His example]. AMP. Thoughts: I like fishing for bass. Sometimes, when I fish a particular fishing hole, I have a nice, big wooden walkway where I can stand and cast. I’ve caught many bass there. It’s easy fishing, but I can’t cast and reach the majority of the water, especially the spot where there are some sunken trees. When I see a big bass strike in this area, I have to step off the walkway a...

  The Men of the Outdoors began its’ busy summer schedule with a trip to lake Lac Vieux Desert to spend several days fishing. Despite a little wind we had three nice weather days. The fish on Lac Vieux Desert get bigger every year.  We caught a large number of bluegills over 8 inches and perch over 10 inches. We did clean several hundred fish and enjoyed a very good fish fry. Fishing was just part of the experience. Our times together in Gods’ word, building friendships and sharing stories was an important part of our trip.   Again, Bob Dailey served as our host and guide. Bob did an awesome job which we greatly appreciate.   We thank our Loving Father for blessing us not only for the fish we caught, but also the time of fellowship we enjoyed.
