The Essential 100® Bible Challenge is a simple tool to read through the Big Story of God's Word. The reading plan is based on 50 Old Testament and 50 New Testament passages. Continue with the ninth part "Psalms and Proverbs." ®Produced by American Bible Society in partnership with Scripture Union, Inc.

Have you ever tried running away from your challenges? My counselor once told me, “It’s time to stop avoiding your problems and learn to face them.” It takes a lot of courage to walk through difficult situations, but it’s the only way we will grow in our relationship with Christ. “Bear Hunt” is a five-day journey on facing our everyday challenges and how to become stronger because of them.

If you desire godly wisdom, there is no greater document than the book of Proverbs. It touches every aspect of our daily lives. Other books emphasise 'what' and 'why'. Proverbs teaches 'how'.

Discipleship works against fear. As we obey God’s commands, we entrust ourselves to him. Like the students attending the schools founded by D. L. Moody in Northfield, MA, God’s people “are encouraged to test the meaning and value of the Bible’s teachings experimentally, by acting upon them, and living them out.” As we “test experimentally” the word of God, we will find that we will have fewer and fewer reasons to be afraid.
