JBQ Statement of Purpose
|
Scripture: Colossians
2:6-8: “As ye have therefore
received Christ Jesus our Lord, so
walk in HIM. Rooted and built up in Him and established
in the faith, as ye have been taught,
abounding therein with thanksgiving. Beware:
lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit,
after the traditions of men, after the
rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.” KJV
Statement
of Purpose: To prepare, build up, and
establish young people in the faith
as they diligently study God’s Word.
Goal: To
raise up our children fully equipped to serve the Lord
both in the body of Christ and in the world, as the Lord our God shall
call.
Nebraska
Bible Quiz is about discipling our children.
Training them up in the way they
should go, so that, when they are old,
they will not depart from it.
Our
district emphasis is based on awards for each
quizzer’s
achievement in learning God’s Word, not solely on their skill during
competition.
Two
levels of competition and award certificates are offered,
with step by step achievement stickers for both levels.
Coaches
and parents are encouraged to grow in their walk
with the Lord as they
teach, study, practice together and attend
competitions with their children.
Competitions
are held with teams across our district offering the
opportunity for the ‘body of Christ’ to fellowship with
one another.
10
Things Every Quizzer Should Gain From Quizzing
|
1.
LEARN GOOD STUDY SKILLS
Opportunity for student / parent involvement to develop
study skills and devote time learning God's Word.
2.
LEARN DISCIPLINE SKILLS
Patience in competition or filling the role as assigned
rather than doing only what the quizzer would normally
do if permitted.
3.
LEARN THE WORD OF GOD
Have a Biblical foundation to form a strong world Biblical
view. Understanding 'why' a Christian does or does not
do certain things. Knowing 'why' we tithe, attend church
services regularly, study the Word, and minister to others.
4.
LEARN TO ROLE PLAY
Everyone cannot do everything. Quizzers are asked to fill
specific roles for the team's benefit.
5.
LEARN RESPECT FOR LEADERSHIP
Quizzers must listen and obey their coach's specific instructions.
They may not tell the other quizzer, a coach or officals
how to perform their duties.
6.
LEARN RESPECT FOR EACH OTHER
Quizzers are not to correct one another, nor ridicule or
make fun. They are not to monitor and make evaluation
of another quizzer's ability or performance.
7.
LEARN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GOOD AND BAD COMPETITION
The sole priority of quizzing is not winning, nor gaining
personal accolades, but doing wht is best for the team
and staying within the individual role assignment.
8.
LEARN ABOUT CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY
Quizzers
should develop Christian friendships, pray for one another
and enjoy fellowship with members of their own team and
with those of other churches.
9.
LEARN TO TEST THEIR OWN LEADERSHIP SKILLS
Quizzers should learn about doing what is right, at the
right time, for the right reasons.
10.
LEARN TO HAVE FUN
Quiz
teams should have fun wherever they go. Never let another
adult or quizzer hinder that aspect of quizzing.
