I couldn’t believe what I heard, Robin Williams died…suicide!!! Robin Williams was amazing actor and brought so many smiles to my face as so many others. Only God knows what this man was dealing with inside himself, the battles, the demons. To us he seemed happy and joyful, but down deep he was searching, he was missing something very valuable…God! Money, popularity, fancy toys, and big houses can’t fill the void in your life. There is only one that can complete you, the one that formed you. He gives us life and life to the fullest.
Starting early, we have taught our children to read God’s word, to pray, and to seek his face in time of trouble. We have emphasized, he is there for you at any time…he loves you and wants a relationship with you. We know if they don’t have their own personal relationship with God the father, then they too will search all their life for something to fill that void! One of the ways we encourage Bible reading is JBQ. We have had days in the past, where one or two of the girls didn’t want to study, but after encouraging and not giving in, they can’t wait for this season to start!
Here are some Quotation Questions they will be working on this year:
-“Acts 3:6 …Silver or gold I do not have, but what I have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.”

-John 1:3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.
-“Revelation 22:13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.”
-Romans 3:23 For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
-“Romans 1:16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes.”
-“Ephesians 2:8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith–and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God.”
-“1 Corinthians 13:13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.”
-“1 John 4:8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.”

*Junior Bible Quiz (JBQ) was created and designed to help children develop a love for the Bible and an understanding that its truth can guide their lives daily. Junior Bible Quiz offers a fun, exciting way to motivate children to understand the all-important truths in God’s Word. Through cooperative learning, children work together on teams to learn and understand the questions and answers from the Bible Fact-Pak. Then using cooperative competition the children meet with other teams for a fun quizzing match. There are twenty questions in a match, with two teams of quizzers trying to beat each other to the buzzers to get the first shot at the answers. It has been said that JBQ is the fastest growing discipleship program in children’s ministry.
