Micah 7:18 Who is a God like You, Pardoning iniquity And passing over the transgression of the remnant of His heritage? He does not retain His anger forever, Because He delights in mercy..

Bring BSM into your New Year!

By the title I am guessing you have at least two questions, what is BSM and why would you want to bring it into your New Year?
Well, first let me introduce you to Bible Study Magazine “BSM” is published by Logos Bible Software. My first thought when I heard about a paper magazine produced by a company who deals only with electronic resources, well let’s just say it was less than favorable, after all how good could a company who deals in e-publications do in a paper world.
Well, I got the inaugural issue and I flipped through it and noticed the quality of the production, so my first impression was good. I decided to jump right in and find an article, well being in college and just finishing my third and final semester of Greek, I naturally chose “Greek Word Study without Greek” which lay out in four easy steps to get at a realistic and usable definition of Greek words from scripture. I just finished Greek Exegesis and in four steps, they did an excellent job of conveying one portion of the exegete’s task. BSM’s explanation of the use of resources used in doing these studies was thoughtful, clear and backed-up by their own powerhouse of on line resources.
From there I decided to involve my whole family, so I made 6 copies of the Bible Word Find, from 2 Kings 18, and the race was on, unfortunately for me the wife won and finished the puzzle in a matter of a few minutes, followed by me and then each of the kids rolled in one by one. Fun was had by all and we spent sometime connecting in a different way and the kids can’t wait for the next issue and neither can I, I want a rematch.

Included in this magazine is a 8-week Bible Study, that will keep you engaged in each issue until the next one arrives at the door. This is a useful and encouraging resource for everyone, from an average Christian who just wants to learn more about the God who they serve or the Bible Professor who is looking for something different. Bottom line I liked the magazine so much that I am now a subscriber and am looking forward to the next issue.

Great Job Logos and Bible Study Magazine, I highly recommend this magazine as a resource no house should be without, so get yours today at www.BibleStudyMagazine.com
