A Review of NKJV Adventure Bible

By -
Image
A few years ago, I decided my 7-year-old son needed a new Bible.  He had received a simple King James Bible as a gift, but it had no extras and I knew he had difficulty understanding it.  We had used several Children's story Bibles, but I wanted him to be able to read actual Bible verses on his own and also be able to participate in Bible reading during Sunday School classes and Bible studies.  So began my search for just the right Bible for my son. Since I am a little hyper on researching things, I thought that I'd share our experience by reviewing the Bible we selected: the NKJV Adventure Bible. First, a little about my son.  He is very advanced in his reading skills, so though he was in first grade, he probably read at least a 4th-grade level.  However, he is still a second grader, so he wanted lots of color, pictures, and explanations.  He also wanted it to look interesting. Now, my husband and I had some ideas of what we thought he should have as...

My Favorite Hymns about God's Love

By -

For Valentine's Day, I was going to do a hymn study on a hymn about God's love. God's love is the ultimate example of love.  His loving is giving, sacrificial, and gracious.  Our love can only hope to be a reflection of his agape love. Since I was unable to choose just one hymn, I have decided to share some of my favorites instead. And Can It Be? (Amazing Love) by Charles Wesley, 1738 And can it be that I should gain An interest in the Savior’s blood? Died He for me, who caused His pain— For me, who Him to death pursued? Amazing love! How can it be, That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me? Amazing love! How can it be, That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me? ’Tis mystery all: th’Immortal dies: Who can explore His strange design? In vain the firstborn seraph tries To sound the depths of love divine. ’Tis mercy all! Let earth adore, Let angel minds inquire no more. ’Tis mercy all! Let earth adore; Let angel minds inquire n...

Bible Scavenger Hunts

We recently had a Sunday School picnic at our house and I needed a large group game.  I wanted to do a scavenger hunt and decided to include Bible clues.  So I used biblestudytools.com (or I could have gotten old school and pulled out my concordance) and searched in the Bible for objects that were in my yard.  I started with door, tree, and table.  Then, I remembered sand, steps, porch, flowers, and even herbs.  Finally, I got a little creative and used "shed" and "mail." To play the game, give the teams their first clue.  They should fill in the blank in the Bible verse.  The word in the blank is where they should go next.  When they get there, they should find the next clue.  They should continue following the clues until they get to the final location. Here are my clues (in KJV, because that's what I thought the people at our picnic would be most familiar with) and the answers:  John 10:9 “ I   am   the   __...
