VBS4ever.com was founded on the lifelong impact Vacation Bible School (VBS) and other positive spiritual experiences have on one's soul. VBS4ever.com focuses on reflecting growth through the word of God, and enables the sharing of His love and wisdom throughout our lifetime. This online spiritual resource is accessible 24-hours/day, delivering the truth to all who are seeking to grow closer to Almighty God through His word.
2Timothy 2:15 - “Study to shew thyself approved unto God ... rightly dividing the word of truth.”
VBS4ever's weekly blog has a unique feature of linking God's word to music, teaching how a song corresponds with the Bible, and providing a perspective of the song's purpose and how it glorifies God. Christian writers and musicians are blessed by God to deliver His message, which not only edifies and teaches, but allows us to praise His holy name.
The VBS4ever.com motto is, "A lifetime of spiritual learning + growing = fun!"
Many lost people think that Christianity is boring, or they are afraid of having to give up bad habits or friendships if they start aligning their life with biblical principles. But Christians soon find that living according to the word of God is actually a deeply rewarding experience. Romans 2:6 reminds us that God "will render to every man according to his deeds”.
The important thing about studying is to be sure you're using the correct study material. With the many 'bible' versions out there ... how do you know which 'bible' is the inspired, infallible word of God?
2Timothy 3:16 - “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:”
'All scripture' does not mean 'all versions,' it means all scripture inspired by God. Read 1Thessalonians 2:13 Only one Bible is inspired by God for the English-speaking people. Read 2Peter 1:20-21 Study to shew thyself approved! Rightly divide His truth! Read 2Timothy 4:3-4
In the featured song titled, "In the time that you gave me," writers Dennis Morgan and Shawn Camp inspire us to ask ourself: "Am I living each day to the fullest, while living out God's purpose for my life?
"In the time that you gave me, did I give all I could give? Did I love all I could love, did I live all I could live? Was my faith in Your grace strong enough to save me? Did I do all I could do in the time that You gave me?
In the time that You gave me, did I face the devil down? Did I make him turn away every time I stood my ground? If today is the day You should decide to take me, did I do all I could do in the time that You gave me?
Oh, and I'll never know 'til it's over, but I wanna fly on Your shoulders! Might have strayed from the path; I might have gone a little crazy; I like to think I did You proud in the time that You gave me.
And as the hourglass empties, no it won't even phase me, if I did all I could do in the time that You gave me."
Proverbs 27:1 - “Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.”
Friends, we aren't promised tomorrow. Jesus wants a relationship with you right now, today. He died so that you might live eternally, but you must accept His gift in order to go to heaven. There is nothing you have done that Jesus won't forgive, and when we become His child, He removes our transgressions (Psalms 103:12)
Corrie ten Boom, famous Christian and holocaust survivor, once quoted her sister, who said: "There is no pit so deep that God's love is not deeper still." Don't wait until you're in a desperate situation to call out to God ... you desperately need Him now!
“You can never learn that Christ is all you need, until Christ is all you have.” ― Corrie ten Boom
Have you accepted Christ's gift of salvation? Are you reading the true word of God? Are you doing all you can do in the time that God has given you?
