BLB: Year in Review (part 2)

Ministry Overview

Blue Letter Bible’s mission is to facilitate an in-depth study of God’s Word through an online interactive reference library that is continuously updated from the teachings and commentaries of selected pastors and teachers who hold to the conservative, historical Christian faith. By God’s grace and provision, BLB now offers over 680,000 content pages of Bible study resources, including:

Advanced Bible Search
Bible Study Tools
Audio, Video, and Text Commentaries
Audio Sermon Downloads
Daily Devotionals and Reading Plans
Topical Papers and Theological Notes
Spanish Language Resources
Social Networking and Applications
Blue Letter Bible Institute

One of BLB’s key offerings is the Hebrew-Greek Lexicon, which gives users immediate access to the original Hebrew and Greek words of each passage as well as cross-referencing of the original language to other passages throughout the entire Old and New Testament. Most recently, BLB has expanded ministry reach through Spanish language resources, social networking (Facebook andTwitter), Mobile BLB, and the newly created BLB iPhone and iPad applications.

Included within the ministry of BLB is the Blue Letter Bible Institute (BLBi). BLBi is a co-laboring effort with other ministries, teachers, and Bible colleges aimed at providing online courses that are identical to courses being taught as part of Bible college curriculums, conferences and seminars. BLBi currently offers 12 courses with competency exams, and has proved to be an excellent resource to the lay body who are seeking to grow in the essentials of Christianity.

  1. Wow! BLB has been busy providing for the Church so many great resources to equip us for day-to-day ministry! I thank God for you all, and hope to use more of what the Lord has provided through this site – I may have trouble keeping up with you, though! Merry Christmas and a fruitful 2012 to all!

  2. Titus 2:3-5 The aged women likewise that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness not false accusers not given to much wine teachers of good things (4) that they may teach the young women to be sober to love their husbands to love their children (5) to be discreet chaste keepers at home good obedient to their own husbands THAT THE WORD OF GOD BE NOT BLASPHEMED

    1 Timothy 2:9-12 In like manner also that women adorn themselves in modest apparel with shamefacedness and sobriety not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly array (10) but which becometh women professing godliness with good works (11) let the woman learn in silence with all subjection (12) but I suffer not a woman to teach nor to usurp authority over the man but to be in silence

    Ephesians 5:22-24 Wives submit yourselves unto your own husbands as unto the LORD (23) for the husband is the head of the wife even as CHRIST is the head of the church and he is the saviour of the body (24)therefore as the church is subject unto CHRIST so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything

    1 Peter 3:1-6 Likewise you wives be in subjection to your own husbands that if any obey not the word they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives (2) while they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear (3) whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair and of wearing gold or of putting on of apparel (4) but let it be the hidden man of the heart in that which is not corrupted even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit which is in the sight of GOD of great price (5) for after this manner in the old time the holy women also who trusted in GOD adorned themselves being in subjection unto their own husbands (6) even as Sara obeyed Abraham calling him lord whose you are as long as you do well and are not afraid with any amazement

    1 Corinthians 14:33 For GOD is not the author of confusion but of peace as in all churches of the saints

    1 Corinthians 14:34 let your women keep silence in the churches for it is not permitted unto them to speak but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law

    1 Corinthians 14:35 And if they will learn any thing let them ask their husbands at home for it is a shame for women to speak in the church

    Colossians 3:18 Wives submit yourselves unto your own husbands as is fit in the LORD

    Mark 7:8&9 HOWBEIT IN VAIN DO THEY WORSHIP ME TEACHING FOR DOCTRINES THE COMMANDMENTS OF MEN (9) for laying aside the commandment of GOD you hold the tradition of men as the washing of pots and cups and many other such like things you do

    Luke 6:46 And why call you me LORD LORD and do not the things which I say

    Luke 8:21 And he answered and said unto them my mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of GOD and do it

  3. I am praying that we will be able to give as the Lord will provide. Please, pray for us, because our finances are so delicate now, but God knows it all.
    I advertise you site with lots of people every time I can, and always they thanked me for such wonderful site. I am with you over 10 years or more.
    Read my Bible, study as much as I can.
    One area that don’t use, because I don’t understand how to use is the Greek and Heb site,
    God Bless you all for your dedication.
    Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year. Looking forward to see Jesus soon
