Bible Bee - 2011

Have you ever noticed God orchestrates all the areas of your life? This year's Bible Bee book study is 1 Peter. Did you know that 1 Peter is the Job of the New Testament? Uh-huh. It's theme is persecution-suffering.

Which means God is going to teach me about persecution and suffering as we study it. Good thing Peter starts the book by letting us know all the good God has given us and will give us!

Please pray for our group of families as we study this summer! There has already been frustration and discouragement.

God's Word is the most important thing you can study. After all it is eternal! Unfortunately Satan and his allies knows this and tries to prevent it.
