THE AMERICAN BIBLE CHALLENGE!!!

The Girls of Grace, Wagner Warriors and Women of Faith have a battle on their hands. The second semifinal is about to begin. It gets closer. Next wek will be a bye week for the show so we can get closer to the finale. $100,000 at stake, but to get there, another 20K will be in their hands. So.....

LET THE CHALLENGE COMMENCE!!!!

Team Members: Cynthia "Cindy" Shaw (Life Acts director), Elizabeth Samala (Life Christian Center & Life Acts CFO); Ezraley Samala (child support services student clerical aide). The Samala family started a full Gospel ministry to restore broken lives with simple acts of love, food, and resources. With this movement, Life Acts was birthed. Now the Samala sisters work alongside Cindy, their father, and pastors in this outreach ministry of Life Christian Center International Ministries of San Diego. If they win, they'll buy industrial shelving and refrigerated storage for Life Acts, allowing that ministry to touch even more lives.
Wagner Warriors
Hometown: Owasso and Tulsa, OK
Charity: Wagner Ministries, International
Team Members: Daniel Wagner (student); Joshua Wagner (student); Jesse Wagner (student). These brothers and best friends have been part of their family’s international ministry their whole lives.

Charity: A21 Campaign, which seeks to abolish slavery in the 21st century
Team Members: Kari Jobe (singer); Lisa Harper (author); Sheila Walsh (author/speaker).

They are playing for A21, an anti-trafficking organization.
 
We start with....
 
LISTINGS IN THIS WEEK'S TV GOD
 
Let's tune in to these shows.....
 
1. "Minute to Sin It": In this episode, Achan has 60 seconds to find & bury a beautiful robe, two hundred shekels of silver & a bar of gold. He took these items from where- Jericho, Gomorrah, The Temple or Target?
 
The Women get Jericho. 10 on the board and the next listing says....
 
2. "The Price is Righteous": In this episode's final Showcase, Abraham bids 400 shekels of silver for the field & cave of Machpelah. What did he use the cave for- a house, hideout, bat cave or burial place?
 
The women bury the jumper for a burial place. 2 for 2. Last listing.....
 
3. "Are You Smarter than an 8-Year-Old King?": Game show prodigy Josiah cleans up in a Geography category when it turns out all the questions are about the place he reigns from- Lystra, Jerusalem, Gibeon or Funkytown?
 
Won't you take me to.....Jerusalem. The Warriors prevent the sweep. Now the Biblical Brainbender while you watch the commercials roll by:
 
Which would you rather spend- one day as Job, three days in a whale or 40 days on the ark?
 
They chose 40 days on the ark rather than 2 seasons on Gilligan's Island. They all got it right! Excellente! We move ahead to.....
 
BOOK 'EM DANIEL
 
Before we begin, former LA Ram Rosey Grier was in the rafters, because his uncle Nikki is in the choir. Okay on to the event. You have to stack up the books in the correct order and step back a few to score. 50 on the line. 60  on the clock....fire the pistol......NOW!
 
If you're playing along the correct order was....
 
Leviticus, Joshua, Esther, Song of Songs, Daniel, Habakkak & Malachi
 
The Girls of Grace continue to roll. 75 on the board after 2 rounds. We move on to.....

ALL DOGS LOVE THE BOOK OF "RROOF!"
 
If you're wondering why they are dogs in the bible, it be a different story. However, it'll be dog commands attached to biblical questions for 50 points in this 2-player game. The Warriors begin with this.....
 
("Obey your master? I can do that"): In what two letters does Paul tell Christians to obey their Earthly masters- Romans & Galatians, 1 and 2 Corinthians & Ephesians & Colossians?
 
It's Ephesians & Colossians....and they're both right! The Women have this....
 
("When my ears itch, I just scratch them. Who needs false teachers?"): What epistle that taks about itching ears has this dog been reading- Romans, 2 Timothy or Titus?
 
They get titus. Wrong T. Timothy is the one. The Girls have this last one.....
 
("Better a living dog than a dead cat. LOL- so true!"): Where in the Bible can you find the phrase "even a live dog is better off than a dead lion"- Ecclesiastes, Proverbs or Psalms?
 
They get Ecclesiastes. And it is! Moving on to....

ELISHA? I THOUGHT YOU SAID ELIJAH!
 
Can you remember these names? The Warriors do. They have this....
 
Um, that priest who gave Goliath's sword to David...the guy w/ the funny name...who is he again- Abimelek, Ahimelek or Elimelek?
 
They get Ahimelek, but the one with the B is correct, sadly. The Women have this name to ponder....
 
That king that Jeremiah served under...something w/ a Z...his name was- Zebadiah, Zephaniah or Zedekiah?
 
They get Zedekiah......correct. The Girls end it with this.....
 
That idol-worshipping ruler of Judah who was Hezekiah's father...who was that guy's name again- Azaz, Ahaz or Ahab?
 
They get A.....H......A......Z........Y-E-S. After 4 rounds. It's the Girls of Grace with 175, The Women of Faith with 95 and the Warriors hanging in there with 85. Time now for.....
 
THE CHOSEN THREE

The girls go first. They want to know three of these are credited w/ composing a psalm found in the book of Psalms- Uriah the Hittite, Ethan the Ezrahite, Jonathan, Moses, Asaph or The Sons of Israel?
 
They get Moses and Asaph, but the sons of Israel.....aren't it. Ethan the Ezrahite was the one. The Warriors go next. They want to know the women Jesus traveled according to Luke 8.
 
Mary Magadalene, Priscilla, Joanna, Susanna, Elizabeth or Lydia?
 
They get Mary, Joanna and Susanna....and oh Susannna, it's a HAT TRICK!
 
It's down to teh women of Faith. They want to know the 3 trials Paul faced in 2 Corinthians 11: pelted w/ stones, boils and leprosy, earthquakes, danger from rivers, lion attacks or sleep deprivation?
 
They get pleted with stones and river danger, but earthquakes....isn't the one. sleep devriation would've put them into the finale. So it's nighty-night for the girls who'll add $2500 to their total. Now the bible study showdown. Wake up and smell this....
 
SHEEP
 
Time to shave the facts as tehy head into the room with the notable absences of Michael Henry and Justin Robinette's Texas Tech hip-hop squad.
 
The Girls go first, they get.......6. Lucky 7 will put the Warriors in.......and lucky they do with about 8 ticks left. BTW, that 3rd question, Solomon, not Saul was the one that was the difference. However, we need a 3rd team for help. The tiebreaker.....
 
How many total chapters are there in The New Testament?

Elizabeth put down 363, but Ogechi from another team put down 90. The answer is...........260, the Girls receive payback and charge into the finals. There you have it. The Wagner Warriors, The Girls of Grace and the sisters of Mary will be the 3 for the championship round. $100,000 at stake. Until then....
 
THOU SHALT SEE YOU NEXT WEEK!
