Looking for some ideas for your kids now that they are out of school for the summer? The summer is a great time to teach your children about the Bible. Here are some ideas for Summer Bible Activities: 1. Memorize Some Bible Verses I have a list of 50 Bible verses you can memorize. Or if you need something to build your confidence, I have a list of short Bible verses . I also have some tips to make Bible memorization easier . 2. Watch What's in The Bible with Buck Denver. I have a review of this series that takes kids (or anyone, really) through the entire Bible in 13 DVDs. It's both fun and educational. 3.

Blessing Bags for the Homeless

By -
Image
I feel so helpless when I see homeless people on the street.  Their needs are very apparent and yet greater than what I am capable of helping.   Homeless care packages or "blessing bags" are one way I have used to help the homeless in a small way.  It helps to provide for some of their needs.  They are a way to say "I see you and I see your needs and I care."  Our God is a God who "give food to the hungry" (Psalm 146:7) and we can be a part of that. Blessing Bags Contents: Many people have lots of ideas for what to put in bags for the homeless.  Here is what I put in mine: a pair of socks deodorant lotion multi-purpose wipes band-aids chapstick tissues gum cracker packs applesauce (pouches are great so they don't need spoons) granola bars (don't get anything too hard in case they have dental problems) beef jerky or beef sticks Here are some other ideas that I loved: hat, gloves, or scar...

Bible Reading Chart

By -

Hopefully, you have a plan to read the Bible as we start this upcoming year. I have used many different reading plans. The Bible in a year (both Genesis to Revelation and chronologically), with a little of Psalms and Proverbs each day (or not), a "harmony" of the Gospels, just one book, and topical plans. I have several other shorter reading plans you could use as well.  This year, we decided to encourage my 12-year-old son to read through the Bible and that my husband and I would read with him. We thought that it would be too much pressure to read it through in one year, so we settled on reading one chapter a day.  I made this Bible Reading Chart so we could keep track of what chapters we have read. All you have to do is put an x over the number of each chapter as you read it. That way you can read at your own pace. You don't even have to do them in order. So, print this out here  and start your 2021 with a resolution to read God's Word.

Bible Verses for What A Beautiful Name

By -

While I initially resisted this song due to its repetitive chorus (basically epitomizing the 7-11 stereotype of modern Christian worship), it won me over.  First of all, the verses are powerful, filled with references to God's Word.  Second, the choruses are true.  The name of our Lord is beautiful, wonderful, and powerful.  Finally, the psalms are filled with songs that are very repetitive.  (I wonder what critics of modern worship think of Psalm 136 and all those "For His love endures forevers?") What A Beautiful Name by Ben Fielding and Brooke Ligertwood Verse 1: You were the Word at the beginning One with God, the Lord Most High. John 1:1  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Hebrews 1:1-2  God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways, in these last days has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom als...
