Your word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You. Psalm 119:11 NKJV
What a joy it is for us to witness the awe-inspiring ways the Lord uses His Word to penetrate our hearts. During 2015, Blue Letter Bible had the opportunity to come alongside the National Bible Bee and help provide tools for students participating in their summer study program. We then attended the National Conference in November, where we met two brothers, Everett (14) and Jarrett (12)--both had memorized about 800 Bible verses in preparation for the contest. They are avid users of the BLB study tools and told us they particularly like all the Bible dictionaries, and the Interlinear for bringing clarity to Greek and Hebrew word studies.
Recently, these boys and their mother joined us for a staff devotional. Frankly, we were astonished at their level of biblical comprehension. They verbalized some spiritual benefits of studying the Gospel of John for the Bible Bee:
Everett said, �It has been very rewarding to memorize and study this part of Scripture�it has helped me to cultivate a love for God and His Word, to internalize it in my heart, meditate on it, and ultimately apply it to my spiritual walk.�
Jarrett said, �I never imagined that there could be so much application to the Gospel of John, like being humble and showing compassion to those in need.�
Testimonies of young lives being impacted by the in-depth study of God�s Word is at the very core of Blue Letter Bible�s ministry and mission. These brothers work hard and enjoy the challenges of competing, but more importantly they recognize the eternal value of having God�s Word hidden in their heart�incidentally, they placed 3rd and 17th among thousands of Bible Bee contestants.
We are truly humbled at the way God is using the Blue Letter Bible ministry to advance His Kingdom.
May God and His Word be exalted,
Jim Milligan
Chief Executive Officer
P.S.: If you have been blessed by resources and study tools Blue Letter Bible offers, we humbly ask you to prayerfully consider a gift of support. Thank you for your consideration.
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
Blue Letter Bible study tools make reading, searching and studying the Bible easy and rewarding.
