Study Tip:  Next Wednesday is Christmas and the Wednesday after that is New Years.  That is two whole weeks without a practice, so it may be tempting to lose yourself in holiday cheer and forget all about Bible Quizzing.  DON'T DO IT!  Christmas is the time we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, the very man Paul is spending all of Romans talking about.  Set aside some time each day over the next two weeks to review Romans, and you'll find your Christmas season substantially enhanced.

Study Tip: Are you taking full advantage of the tools available to you for studying?  While we provide commentaries, MP3s, puzzles, lists of reference and FTV questions, scripture portions and keywords, many quizzers wind up just doing the same old thing and just read the chapters for their studying.  There is nothing wrong with that, but it can become old hat after a while and you can lose the excitement that comes with new discoveries.  Consider really digging into ALL of the tools at your disposal to reignite your excitement for Bible Quizzing!
