(Every third Saturday of the month at 930AM at Miramar Church) Men's Breakfast 2012 theme: "How to study the Bible for all its worth" (Title borrowed from book: "How to Read the Bible for all its Worth," Authors Gordon Fee and Douglass Stuart)The Bible as Prose* Story/Narrative (January 21, 2012)The Bible as Proverbs/Poetry (February 18, 2012)The Bible as Psalms/Personal (April 21, 2012)The Bible as Prophecy/Preparation (May 19, 2012)The Bible as Prescription/Praxis* (June 16, 2012)The Bible as Proscription*/Anti-Praxis (July 21, 2012) March no breakfast (out of town)   *Prose (the ordinary form of spoken or written language) *Praxis (practice) *Proscription (prohibition or forbidden) For the first six to seven months of our breakfast fellowships, we will look at the different genres (types, styles of writing) of Scripture for each one must be approached somewhat differently in order to gain or maximize our interpretation skills. In other words, not each book or section of the Bible can be read like the gospels or prophecy. We must consider that each one of these bring with it a set of different challenges to understanding what you are reading. Moreover, when you are reading from the book of Matthew as opposed to Proverbs, you will find that in order to accomplish interpretation, and subsequently application, you must know the structure and literary style (genre) so that accomplishing interpretation does not become a foggy and haphazard event. This of course is important to reading the Bible devotionally. Ultimately, the key to your reading is accurate meaning for accurate manner of life. To this end, we endeavor to learn as much as we can.   Therefore, mark your calendars so that you can prepare for these fellowship times. We look forward to God's Word "invading" your "whole" life. As we become more skillful in handling God's Word, we become more skillful to distinguish between good and evil, hence we mature (not the least, that our worldview and values solidify). We are looking forward to a great year. Be praying for these meetings and the door open to men and their needs. As we teach men to be lovers of God and His Word, we help in making godly men leaders of their spheres of influence: home, work, neighbors, friends, etc. You cannot substitute edification in God's Word for mere entertainment; nonetheless, the purpose of these meetings is to achieve genuine edification, fellowship, fun (we play basketball or soccer), and sanctifying activities (discussions and reflection).    Hope to see many men come.  "For we can do nothing against the truth, but only for the truth" (2 Corin.13:8)   Blessings, Pastor James T.

Dear Gentlemen,   I would love to let you know that we are planning another men's breakfast that will include the representation of several churches. Once again, plan ahead. Either the second or third Saturday of August tentatively we will be shooting for as a date to come together and fellowship and learn. I've asked pastor Darin from Westgate Baptist church to do us the honor and follow up on the teaching from last time together. He will follow up on some of the questions that arose from our discussion time. The topic had to do with sanctification (the process of becoming more and more holy).   I hope you can plan ahead and try and be there. Last time together we had lots of food and a great time getting to know many of the men from each respective church. In fact, we had a total of seven churches represented and 38 men attended. Let's do it again! "For we can do nothing against the truth, but only for the truth" (2 Corin.13:8)   Blessings, Pastor James T. Cater Miramar Church 6390 SW 32nd Street Miramar, FL 33023 (954) 981-4677 pastorjim@miramar.org www.miramarchurch.org

Dear Gentlemen,   I wanted to thank you for attending our monthly men's breakfast. Thank you for the fellowship, camaraderie, and the building up of each other. The time we had together in getting to know each other's ministries and lives is worth an eternity. We were blessed to have so many men in one place--the final count was 38!! I personally enjoyed getting to know many of the different members from each one of your churches (there were 7 churches represented in whole group). It was truly a delight.   Thank you David for challenging us with such a challenging passage of Scripture--Romans 7:13-25. We hope we can continue to meditate on the truths you presented. Thank you for your diligence in study. The time in the passage was well spent.   Thank you all for the food--lots of it!!! Below are some pictures of the event...
