Outdoorsmen News 4/30/2009

We had nine make it for the meeting and Bible study Tuesday. Not bad considering the weather.

The reports from the Men's backpacking trip were good and everyone had a great time. The weather was quite good considering what had been forecast. Frank 'Trout Slayer' Foster put on a clinic of how to catch fish while Glenn Morrison provided (numerous) examples of why it's a good idea to replace your fishing line periodically. They're a team act.

We discussed Luke 20:1 - 8 (A question of authority) and also a bit of Luke 20:9 - 19 (The wicked tenants). Once again the religious leaders were unable to trap Jesus. The parable of the wicked tenants is both a historical reference and a prophesy of things to come. Both topics are just as pertinent today as they were back then. If you did not read Luke 20:9 -19 I recommend you take a moment to do so. We must make sure that we are not, or do not become, like the wicked tenants. Like the crowd Jesus was speaking to we all say "we'll never let this happen!" but just as in the parable it did happen; the messengers were rejected and abused and when the Son was sent he was killed and cast aside.
