WBS ACTION! EDITOR AND PRESIDENT
Congregations are meeting again! Thank you, Lord, for seeing us through the COVID years. Has your congregation re-started your evangelism program using World Bible School tools? If you need our help, please contact us at 512-345-8190. We are here for you.
Earlier this year, I was visiting with the Campbell Street church of Christ in Jackson, Tennessee. Pictured here you see one of their faithful Study Helpers sending our lessons for students around the world. Faithful evangelism programs change the world! I just received a text from an elder of the Oldham Lane church of Christ in Abilene, Texas where he reported 94 students in their prison ministry (which uses WBS courses) were baptized since January. Lives are being changed!
New Challenges
As you have experienced new challenges this year, WBS is also experiencing a few as well. Paper shortages and costs have challenged us to get out ACTION! Magazine in our usual way. The July issue is only in digital format as we are working through these challenges, but we are planning to resume printing in September with a special 12-page issue. Thank you for your prayers and patience! One opportunity with this challenge is the development of another great way of connecting with new ACTION! Magazine readers. If you would like to receive ACTION! Magazine digitally, click here. And please share this issue with others!
Coming Soon
We are working on a WBS Evangelism Tools catalog where we detail the wonderful tools available through WBS for sharing Jesus. Be looking for this helpful catalog in the mail soon!

This episode of One More Chapter explores how to properly apply Bible study today by first determining a passage’s original meaning, purpose, principles, and precedents, then bringing those forward without imposing modern customs or values onto the Scripture.
In this episode of One More Chapter, Brian Rex Davis and his co-hosts Noah and Bryson Continue their discussion of the concepts of purpose, principle, and precedent and how they help bridge the gap between meaning and application. They classify different types of biblical precedents—such as accepting both the practice and principle of baptism, retaining principles while adapting culturally bound practices like greetings or modesty, and rejecting both when Scripture indicates—and illustrate necessary inference through Peter’s experience with Cornelius in Acts 10–11.

This episode of One More Chapter continues the series on Bible study principles for bridging the gap between a passage’s original meaning and its application today.
