Best NIV Teen Study Bible

Monday, January 26, 2009

I would like to recommend the NIV Teen Study Bible, what I believe to be the best Teen Study Bible available.  Kids age 12 - 15 need a Bible that they can read, understand and relate to.  The New International Version is now revised for a new generation.  If you are homeschooling your children, you find this invaluable as a resource. As an on-the-go teen, they are moving fast, but you are going to find that God is moving faster!!  The NIV Teen Study Bible will help your child keep in step with all he/she has done, is doing, and is going to do in the world—and in his/her life. 

This NIV Teen Study Bible is totally revised.  It is the best-selling Bible to help your child discover the eternal truths of God’s Word and apply them to the issues they face today.   It tells them what God is saying to them personally.

You already know that this New International Version is the most read and most trusted Bible translation available today.

I have found the NLT2 Life Application Study Bible, what I think is today’s best-selling Study Bible.  This New Living Text 2 Life Application Bible has been updated and expanded.  In it I have found over 300 new Life Application notes with nearly 350 revisions and a Christian Worker’s Resource making the number one Bible even better.  To enhance the study is a Free iLumina software CD-ROM.

Studying the Bible is a complicated at times and I need many references to help me with the study and I find this NLT2 Life Application Study Bible with all of its updates to really “fill the ticket”.  I would encourage anyone wanting to understand the Bible better to use this Bible.  Send it to your favorite student.

The New Living Translation of the Bible is Easy to Understand

Thursday, January 08, 2009

I have found that a translation of the Bible is to convey the meaning of the Ancient Greek and Hebrew texts as accurately as possible to the modern reader.  The New Living Translation is based on the most recent scholarship in the theory of translation.

The translators created a text that would make the same impact in the life of modern readers that the original text had for the original readers.  In the New Living Translation, this is accomplished by translating entire thoughts (instead of words) into natural, everyday English.  I find that the end result is easy to read and understand and it accurately communicates the meaning of the original text.

Why Should I Read the Bible Scriptures?

Thursday, January 08, 2009

 I would like to add a few scriptures that clearly reveal why you and I should read the Bible.
MATTHEW 4:4  NLT
But Jesus told him, “No!  The Scriptures say, ‘People need more than bread for their life; they must feed on every word
of God’.”
JOHN 8:31-32  RSV
Jesus than said to the Jews who had believed in him, “If you continue in my word, you are truly my disciples,
and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”
2TIMOTHY 3:16-17  NLT
All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives.  It
straightens us out and teaches us to do what is right.
It is God’s way of preparing us in every way, fully equipped for every good thing God wants us to do.
HEBREWS 4:12  NLT
For the word of God is full of living power.  It is sharper than the sharpest knife, cutting deep into our innermost thoughts and
desires.  It exposes us for what we really are.
JOHN 6:63  ICB
It is not the flesh that gives a person life.  It is the spirit that gives life.  The Words I told you are spirit, and so they give life.

The Bible is the Divine Word of God

Thursday, January 08, 2009

As we read the Bible it becomes very evident that the Words are a Divine Revelation from God.  God is telling man
what He want us to know about Himself and His Plan for us.
The Bible, the Holy Word of God is the only written revelation of God to man.
No one has been able to successfully refute the Bible.  We know that many mock the Bible but will not challenge it
point by point.  Anyone that has done an indepth research of the Bible has not been able to disprove It, but only
find evidence that the Bible is all  inspiration and truth.
Many can start  out to disprove the Bible, but in the end find themselves to be believers of the Word of God.
God just can not be disproved, nor His Word.
