3 “You shall have no other gods before Me.
4 “You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; 5 you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, 6 but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.
7 “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.
8 “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. 11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.
12 “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you.
13 “You shall not murder.
14 “You shall not commit adultery.
15 “You shall not steal.
16 “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
17 “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s.”
Techniques
There are several approaches to memorizing Scripture.
- Erase the words
- Write the Bible verse on a white board and have everyone read it aloud together. Then erase a word and have them read it again, supplying the erased word. Continue erasing words and reading the verse aloud until all the words are gone. At this point, the entire class should know the verse.
- Hand write the verse
- Write the verses down several times by hand until you can do it from memory.
- In song
- Many passages of scripture have been set to music. Memorizing the lyrics to a song is a lot easier than memorizing raw text, and the memory will last for years. If the verse you are trying to memorize has already been set to music, switch to the version of the text that matches the song. If it has not been set to music, make up your own tune. Explore different translations of the text to see which one lends itself best to your song.
- Say it aloud
- Hearing it and saying it will reinforce it much better than just "thinking" it will.
- Say it with rhythm
- This is similar to the "in song" approach from above, but it is often easier to make up a rhythm than it is to make up a whole tune. Clap your hands and stomp your feet at various places in the verse if that helps. Turn it into a clapping game like "pat-a-cake" and learn it with a friend.
- Add action
- How many songs do you know that have motions associated with them? If you're making up hand claps and foot stomps, it will help even more if you add other actions such as casting a fishing line, or tracing the outline of a heart in the air.
- Make a rebus
- A rebus uses pictures to represent words or parts of words. For instance, the word "I" is represented with a graphic depiction of an eye. If you spend enough time coming up with a clever rebus for your verse, you will likely have memorized it by the time you are finished.
- Find structure in the verse
- Write the verse out so that it highlights the structure. Recall that Hebrew poetry works by repeating an idea using different words. Line them up! We also find structure in New Testament verses. For instance, 1 John 2:3 could be written like this:
Now by this
we know that
we know Him,
if we keep His commandments.
- This approach lines up the common words "we know" and helps the brain to organize the verse more effectively. It also lines up the third "we" with the first two, so that it's possible to memorize a shorthand for this verse - "we know, we know, we keep". This forms a skeleton upon which we can hang the rest of the words. Look for other structure as well, such as that the word following "we" always starts with a 'k' and has four letters.
- Use a Puzzlemaker Online
- to create written activities for scripture such as:
- Crosswords
- Wordles
- Fill in the blanks/Missing letters
- Blank out (Similar to Hangman)
- Scripture Scrambles
- Step On It
- Print out each word of a passage on paper, one word per page in large print. Lay the paper on the floor and step down on each page as you say the text. Remove words from time to time.
- Writers Block
- Write each word of a passage on blocks of wood, one word per block. Mix up the blocks and put the text back together. Two block sets of the same verse makes for an exciting game!

Leer las 13 creencias doctrinales del voto bautismal de la Iglesia Adventista del Séptimo Día y explicar la importancia de cada uno. |
1. ¿Cree usted en la existencia de un solo Dios: Padre, Hijo y Espíritu Santo, que constituyen una unidad de tres Personas coeternas?
La confesión de su creencia en Dios (incluyendo a la Trinidad) es el primer paso hacia la salvación.
2. ¿Acepta la muerte de Jesucristo, en el Calvario, como el sacrificio expiatorio por sus pecados y cree que por la gracia de Dios, mediante la fe en Su sangre derramada, es salvo del pecado y de su penalidad?
3. ¿Acepta a Jesucristo como su Señor y Salvador personal creyendo que Dios, en Cristo, ha perdonado sus pecados y le ha dado un nuevo corazón, por lo cual renuncia a los caminos pecaminosos del mundo?
4. ¿Acepta por la fe la justicia de Cristo, reconociéndolo como su Intercesor en el santuario celestial, y acepta la promesa que asegura que Dios le dará la gracia transformadora y el poder para vivir una vida centrada en Cristo y llena de amor, tanto en Su hogar como ante el mundo?
5. . ¿Cree usted que la Biblia es la Palabra inspirada de Dios, y que constituye la única regla de fe y práctica para los cristianos? ¿Se compromete a dedicar regularmente tiempo para la oración y el estudio de la Biblia?
6. ¿Acepta que los Diez Mandamientos son una expresión del carácter de Dios, y que los mismos revelan Su voluntad? Siendo así, ¿se propone usted, por el poder de la presencia de Cristo en su corazón, guardar esta Ley, incluyendo el cuarto mandamiento, el cual requiere que observemos el séptimo día de la semana como el sábado del Señor y como monumento conmemorativo de la creación?
7. ¿Anhela usted la pronta venida de Jesús, que San Pablo llama la bendita esperanza, cuando «esto mortal se vestirá de inmortalidad»? ¿Es su propósito prepararse personalmente para encontrarse con el Señor, y, al mismo tiempo, hacer todo lo posible para dar testimonio de Su amorosa salvación, usando sus talentos en el esfuerzo personal de conquistar almas, con el fin de ayudar a otros a prepararse para Su gloriosa aparición?
Ser un «adventista» es anticipar el segundo advenimiento de Cristo.
8. ¿Acepta la enseñanza bíblica de los dones espirituales, y cree que el don de profecía es una de las señales que identifican a la iglesia remanente?
9. ¿Cree usted en la organización de la Iglesia, y se propone adorar a Dios y sostener a la Iglesia con sus diezmos y ofrendas, con su esfuerzo personal y su influencia?
10. ¿Cree que el cuerpo es templo del Espíritu Santo, y que es su deber honrar a Dios cuidando del mismo, evitando el uso de todo lo que es perjudicial; absteniéndose de comer alimentos inmundos; del uso, la fabricación o la venta de bebidas alcohólicas y tabaco, en cualquiera de sus formas para consumo humano; y del abuso o mal uso y del tráfico de narcóticos u otras drogas?
11. Conociendo y comprendiendo los principios bíblicos fundamentales, tal como los enseña la Iglesia Adventista del Séptimo Día, ¿es su propósito, por la gracia de Dios, cumplir Su voluntad ordenando su vida de acuerdo con estos principios?
12. ¿Acepta la enseñanza del Nuevo Testamento acerca del bautismo por inmersión, y quiere ser bautizado de esa manera como una manifestación pública de su fe en Cristo y del perdón de sus pecados?
13. .¿Cree que la Iglesia Adventista del Séptimo Día es la iglesia remanente mencionada en la profecía bíblica, y que personas de todas las naciones, razas y lenguas son invitadas a formar parte de esta comunión y ser aceptadas en su feligresía? ¿Desea ser miembro de esta congregación local de la iglesia mundial?

Requisito 7 |
|
Estudiar y conversar con un adulto y su grupo acerca de dos temas de la vida real a continuación:
|
Discusión:
- If you find yourself gossiping – stop. If you hear gossip and do not pass it on, it dies.
- When you follow the Pathfinder Pledge "I will be pure, and kind, and true" it is impossible to gossip.
Articles:

Lying
- When you follow the Pathfinder Pledge "I will be pure, and kind, and true" it is impossible to lie.
- The Pathfinder Law includes "Keep a level eye." which means Pathfinders will not lie, cheat or deceive.
Profanity
Profanity is the use of curse words or "dirty" words. In Mark 14:71, Peter used profanity when he was trying to prove that he was not associated with Jesus. He was correct in his assumption that the use of such language is incompatible with the nature of Christ, and he greatly regretted having done so.
- The Pathfinder Law includes "Keep a level eye." which means Pathfinders will avoid doing anything that will cause them to cast their eyes downward in shame. This includes profanity and crude talk.
- The Pathfinder Pledge includes "I will be pure, kind, and true" which likewise prohibits the use of profanity or crude talk.
Not only will we avoid the use of profanity ourselves, but we will not willingly put ourselves in a position in which we know we would likely be exposed to it. This means we will be careful about the music we listen to, the programs we watch on TV, and the entertainment we seek on the Internet. We will also excuse ourselves when our friends begin using such language.
The Worldwide Web
The World Wide Web (the portion of the Internet available as hypertext - which is most of the Internet these days) is one of the most powerful tools ever developed by mankind. It allows people to stay in touch with one another, meet new people with common interests, learn new subjects and deepen our understanding of things we already know. But for all of the good things it can be used for, it can just as easily be used for bad things.
The Internet is filled with temptations. It can be used to engage in malicious talk or to engage in uplifting or informative talk. It can be used to view pornography or to view nature photography. It also has the potential to consume all of a person's time. Not only free time, but time that is not really free (such as time for sleep, for work, or for study).
The Bible offers guidance on our use of not only the Internet, but the use of other tools as well:
“Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable——if anything is excellent or praiseworthy——think about such things.”
The Internet honor suggests that you develop a covenant governing your use of the Internet and sign it along with the rest of your family.
The Pathfinder Pledge says that you will be pure and kind. This prohibits the use of pornography, or engaging in mean talk (including "trash talk" in a gaming situation).
STD's
Sexually Transmitted Diseases are a difficult subject to talk about with teens. However, they need to understand that when sex is used outside the marriage, there is a high risk of consequences that can have lifelong effects.
These are some of the diseases that are transmitted sexually:
A baby who contracted Gonorrhea from its mother

There are many others.
If you choose to discuss this subject with your Rangers, it would be a good idea to talk about these diseases in detail, noting that many of them are not curable, and some of them can be fatal. However, most kids have a tendency to believe (on an emotional level) that they are immortal - that is, they believe that "it couldn't happen to me." Therefore, a disease being possibly fatal (HIV) may not be as effective a curb as a disease that disfigures one's appearance (Herpes).
Understand going into the discussion that the kids are very likely to giggle and joke about the topic. This is normal, so do not let it derail your presentation. Even though they are giggling and joking, the information is getting through.
You may wish to segregate the boys and the girls for this discussion.
God's plan for us includes sex, but it is limited to married couples. Transmission of STD's is extremely unlikely in a married couple in which neither partner has ever had sex with someone other than their spouse.
