Bible Challenge-Christ's Birth & Early Life

Good Evening to All!

It's Time for our next Bible Challenge. Tonight's challenge is titled: Christ's Birth and Early Life. I started to skip around the challenge book, but decided against it in case there was a reason for the order it was in. Just in case there are people out there who aren't very knowledgeable about the Bible and want to do the challenge anyway. My whole purpose for my blog is to get God's Word out and I wouldn't want to scare people away by giving them MEAT instead of Milk. Personally, I think I'm at the in-between stage. I know more than someone who has just learned about God, or started going to church, but less than many of the people in the church I attend. I found out just because a person reads the Bible all the way through a couple of times definitely does not mean they know a lot about the Bible or the Will of God.

Now, on with the Challenge:
