Term 4 Scripture Memory
The first Judges
Answer the following questions in the comments.
1) If the Israelites did not know the Lord or what He had done for Israel (Judges 2:10-11), why did they continually cry out to Him when they got into trouble? What is your first instinct when you’re in trouble? Do you cry out to God or do you try to do things on your own? Which works better? Why?

3) Why do you think Barak refused to attack unless Deborah went with him? Was this a good decision or a bad decision? Why? How do you think Barak felt when Deborah’s words were confirmed through Jael’s actions?

Last Day
Well, we’re just about done our adventure in the Philippines. Tomorrow at this time, we will have begun our long trek back to Chilliwack. The beach has been beautiful, though we haven’t seen a sunset yesterday because of the clouds. Lancelei left to visit here family yesterday, and I’m ready to get home and see my family again. It seems like we’ve been here forever, but it also seems like we just arrived. I believe that each of us, students and leaders alike, have learned a lot about ourselves and a lot about our God. I know that He is in charge, no matter what we do. I know that He brings joy and peace, not matter where we are. I know that He is merciful and forgiving, no matter how we try to escape from Him. And I know that He will use as as far as we are willing to be used. It has been a great trip, full of learning opportunities and chances to see God in action. I know that He has guided us and that we will continue to grow in Him long after we return to Canada.
See you in about 48 hours,
Mr. Neudorf
