Seeking God every day.
You were created in the image of God, and what better day to focus on that than National Selfie Day? Whatever you feel when you hear the word “selfie,” today we want to help you flip the selfie script.
Send a self-portrait through Bible Lens and watch it transform your selfie. See your self(ie) in a positive way, and encourage someone by sharing your discovery on social media. Tag us in your post and use #BibleLens so we can find yours.
Fill your family’s travels with meaningful conversations with help from interactive stories on the Bible App for Kids. Help them engage with God’s Word by opening the Bible App for Kids and downloading stories before you travel. Make the next trip one that you — and your kids — will fondly remember for years to come.
Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.
Proverbs 22:6
Think about the father figures who’ve made a positive impact in your life. Maybe they’ve shared wisdom, encouraged you, protected you, shown up when you needed it, or provided timely guidance.
This Father’s Day, show those men they matter by sharing an encouraging word from Scripture: like a Father’s Day Verse Image from your Bible App. It only takes a moment to let a dad know you care.
If you’re looking for godly insight on how to lead the people who matter most to you, we’ve put together a list of Plans to help you. Any of these Plans can help you see more of God’s Father heart and connect with your family in a special way.

Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds
3
because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.
4
Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
5
If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.
6
But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.
7
That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.
8
Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do.
9
Believers in humble circumstances ought to take pride in their high position.
10
But the rich should take pride in their humiliation—since they will pass away like a wild flower.
11
For the sun rises with scorching heat and withers the plant; its blossom falls and its beauty is destroyed. In the same way, the rich will fade away even while they go about their business.
12
Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.
We can experience God’s Word through paper books, by searching for passages online, and hearing it spoken to us through our smartphones. Most of us even have “favorite” versions, ones that are easy to read, or that closely match original manuscripts, or even just because we like the speaker’s voice. But…
More than a billion people don’t have any of God’s Word in their language.
Our partners are already working to get the New Testament translated into most of the world’s languages by 2033. Through #BibleForEveryone,* we’re helping them fund high-impact projects that can be completed quickly. Give now, and you can help the Doondo people of Africa get their first Scripture ever.
Your gift will impact the 123,000 Doondo speakers who live in the Republic of the Congo!*
Just imagine standing before God’s throne one day… and seeing some of the very people that your gift helped bring there:
After this I looked, and there in front of me was a multitude that no one could count, people from every tribe and every nation.
REVELATION 7:9

Life.Church is contributing $1 million over the four-year period from 2017-2020. During each calendar year, Life.Church is contributing $250,000, spread across different, high-impact translation projects.
