National
Bible Bee Competition
The Shelby
Foundation began a scripture memory competition in 2007. They desired through their non-profit organization
to encourage youth to study the Word of God and to memorize it.
I
participated in it the year that it began as well as the following year, afterwards
graduating out of the qualifying age category.
The first
year I participated, we were given a booklet to memorize covering several
topics, cards to memorize containing bible related questions and answers, and a
list of 1200 verses of scripture to impress into our minds in those few summer
months.
The second
year’s materials were similar, but were more family-oriented then the previous
year.
Through extensive
study and memorization of the scripture which was encouraged by the National
Bible Bee Competition, I embedded a general reference of important scriptures
into my knowledge as well as gained a better understanding of the Christian
make-up which has provided wisdom on many critical issues in my personal life.
Firstly, I
would like to say thank you to all who volunteer their time and funds to
promote this influential, God-honoring cause.
I have talked with youth nation-wide who have been positively affected
by your efforts. Thank-you!
