Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.

• Exodus 40:34

There are ten Bible verses that are quoted as the questions with one word left as a blank.  Fill in the blank for the answer.  There is a pattern in the answers, a simple one.  Some of these verses may not be on your list of memory verses, but you should be able to figure out the pattern.

There are a few ways to answer “Fill-in-the-Blank” questions.  You could simply know the answer.  Each of the answers is a single word.  You could read the sentence and simply intuitively think of a word that might fit.  Maybe you know the context of the story.

The questions are in biblical order and half are from the Old Testament and half from the New Testament.

I have enjoyed writing these quizzes over roughly three and a half years.  I hope you find this the simplest, with the greatest message.  Believe me, if you think of this quiz as being a trick, it is not.  It is my message to you.

Looking up the Bible References gives the answer away quickly, but here goes.

Well, do I really need to do the reveal?

Really, the secular world would argue that this is not a message of the Bible, but what do they know anyway?

If we carried this message to all the people on earth, it would be a better place.

But in the anxiety and turmoil of today, we need this now more than ever, and it seems so very short in supply.  May God help us.

This word is mentioned in almost every book of the Bible.  In the New Testament, only the book of Acts fails to mention the word.

Whether you did well on this quiz or, ummm, not so well, … Here is Phil Wickham singing, Falling in Love.

Here is Gordon Mote with Love Love Love.  It’s a song about one of the shortest sermons ever.  It wasn’t much, but, man, it was enough.  I like Gordon Mote’s piano playing for the Gaither Homecoming crowds, but he can sing too.

And here is God is Love sung by Katy Nichole.

Here are the Asidors with You Gotta Love Everybody.
