RANGER Class Investiture Achievement

_Faithful as we march along, in Kindness, Truth and Purity
In the Pathfinder Song, we describe ourselves as faithfully marching in kindness, truth and purity.The traits allow us to go forward boldly as leaders. In kindness we look to the needs of others. In truth we focus on Christ and our integrity. And in purity, we dedicate ourselves to the task, and avoid distraction and wrong turns.

Spiritual Discovery

Some Bible Marking Helps
Holy Scriptures: The Holy Scriptures, Old and New Testaments, are the written Word of God, given by divine inspiration through holy men of God who spoke and wrote as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. In this Word, God has committed to man the knowledge necessary for salvation. The Holy Scriptures are the infallible revelation of His will. They are the standard of character, the test of experience, the authoritative revealer of doctrines, and the trustworthy record of God's acts in history. (2 Peter 1:20, 21; 2 Tim. 3:16, 17; Ps. 119:105; Prov. 30:5, 6; Isa. 8:20; John 17:17; 1 Thess. 2:13; Heb. 4:12.) [From The 28 Fundamental Beliefs of the Seventh-day Adventist Church]

• The 2009 First Quarter Adult Sabbath School Lesson focused on The Prophetic Gift, including the inspiration of the prophets and Bible writers
