519.0. "Meaningful Verses for Men" by CSC32::P_SO (Get those shoes off your head!) Thu Jul 07 1994 13:15

     
    Hi
    
       I am trying to put together a little package of surprises
    accompanied by Bible verses for my husband and his friends
    while they are at Promise Keepers in a few weeks.  I was
    hoping the men (and women too if they have ideas) could
    give me some insight on verses that are especially 
    meaningful to you as a christian man, husband, and father 
    that I could use in this package.
    
    An example is: (and I don't have a Bible with me so this is
    just an idea)  verse about being born again to become sons of
    God along with a birth announcement and blue bubblegum cigar
    that says "It's a Boy!"
    
    Verse about being cleansed from all unrighteousness and a
    trial size bar of soap.
    
    Get the idea?  Use your imagination......what verses are
    especially meaningful to you?
    
    Thanks for your help!

    I too will be off to Promise Keepers in Boulder in a few weeks.
    Unfortunately, me being a babe in Christ's word, I don't know any
    verses that relate..
    
    Please share what you learn..

    2Corinthians 3:18  But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass
    the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory,
    even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

    Just play the tape he got with registration for ideas.  It's great.  I 
    went in Portland, and the sound of 30,000 men singing Holy, Holy Holy is
    amazing!  Has to be a sweet sound to the Lord.

Can I share this note? Please?
Greg has his 40th in a couple of months, and I'd like to do what .0 is doing 
(plagiarism being a most sincere form of flattery!)

So, as Promise Keepers does not appear to be a happening thang here in OZ, 
does anyone fancy transcribing the tape mentioned in an earlier note? Or 
providing further hints?


Thanks & regards,

Chele

519.7Getting *really* personal...!ICTHUS::YUILLEThou God seest meTue Jul 12 1994 06:484
If your husbands have any particular hobby or interest, put it in, and we 
could probably find a relevant verse...!

    J.'s hobbys include remote control car racing and electronics....
    hardly biblical topics but that's a good idea Andrew!
    
    I did some research last night a found a few more verses.
    I'll enter them later when I get a chance, right now I have to
    go log into my phone b'fore I git in trouble!
519.9ICTHUS::YUILLEThou God seest meTue Jul 12 1994 10:2910
If you wanted to include any remote control stuff, part of Luke 7:8 could
help... 

  "I tell this one, 'Go', and he goes; and that one, 'Come', and he comes.  
   I say to my servant, 'Do this', and he does it."

 - as a reminder that the closer we get to fulfilling God's law, the more 
fulfilled we become...

How many strings does he use ?  If you wanted to get him about 2� spare 
sets, you could quote from Psalms... :

	Praise the LORD with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and an
	instrument of ten strings.
								Psalm 33:2 

	Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon
	the harp with a solemn sound.
								Psalm 92:3 

	I will sing a new song unto thee, O God: upon a psaltery and 
	an instrument of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee.
								Psalm 144:9 


Or more generally (for music books, tapes, instrument parts, etc), 
Psalm 92:1-3 (NIV) : 
	"It is good to praise the LORD and make music to Your Name, O Most 
	 High, to proclaim Your love in the morning and your faithfulness 
	 at night, to the music of the ten-stringed lyre and the melody of 
	 the harp."

But then, there's lots that would be suitable on this theme...


Then, if you wanted to give a small peice of jewelery, like cuff links etc,
there's : 

 "Besides in my devotion to the temple of my God, I now give my personal 
  treasures of gold and silver for the temple of my God"
							1 Chronicles 29:3

 "...your body is temple of the Holy Spirit, Who ias in you, Who you have 
  received from God."
							1 Corinthians 6:19


� .... also into F1 & MGs

Now MGs I presume are the cars, but F1?  Are they aircraft?  have to think 
about them....
