BBC

The Bedroom Bible College Manual.  That's what BBC stands for.


   Last year this intriguing material was one of my daily assignments in school.  WOAH, is it amazing!
When I first picked it up I was not to thrilled about it, but BBC has proven itself a gem!

It is a Bible Study book/instruction written/put together by Gregg Johnson. BBC is one of those things that you really have to do before you begin to grasp it. So, I'd highly recommend getting this book.

*A following is one of the Verse Studies I did recently:

Reference: John 8:34-36
..."I tell you the truth, everyone who sins is a slave to sin.  Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever.  So if the son sets you free, you will be free indeed." (NIV84)

Key Words: Truth - Jesus speaks truth because, He is TRUTH! When we have him, we have someone much, much more than trustworthy.
Slave - Anyone who abides by His prison cell of sin or legalism (both are sins) is, in a big way, a slave longing for true freedom.
Son - Through Jesus we can receive sonship, and BELONG to freedom and life forever. Through Jesus, the Son, we are made Children of the Creator.
Freedom - Brings life to our souls. Takes away the bonds/chains of sin.  In this sense, it lives a life unto the Lord, through Christ.

Promises:  Through Christ, we are FREE! If Jesus sets us free, we are free from the chains indeed.

Principles: Jesus came to break the chains apart. To rescue us from our Prison of Sin, and pay the price we could not. We are slaves to sin by human nature, but by Him who lives in me, I am a Child and Follower of The Most High.

What does this verse mean to me: I am free! Jesus came so I can take off this sin and follow Him.  I have the  truth! Truth that brings life. Real life.


*Note: This was just a Verse Study. The book also includes many more studies such as Word Studies, Chapter Studies, etc.
another thing to note, some of these things are things that I felt the Lord showing/saying to me as I was doing this, you may view this study or scripture with an entirely different view, and that is okay.
