I thank you all for looking at this site. The "Helpful Links" section to your right is all NHD information from their official website. Please note: this blog is not affiliated with NHD and does not represent the interests of NHD.
No, this blog is to represent the interests of Godly young men and women who will, hopefully, use this competition as a vehicle to learn more about the Lord's providence and man's gifts and failings - Soli Deo Gloria!
While I'll try to keep wry comments to a minimum, there can be a conflict between pleasing man-made rules (like in this competition) and making sure we are working to please God and be His instruments. I hope to address where these issues lie and propose solutions.
Since it IS a contest, there ARE rules and standards of which one should take notice. It's a voluntary action to decide to put one's work and research into such a format, but I believe it is a good excercise for two reasons: 1) It can give the work and research focus, teaching good tools, techniques and discipline; 2)that most work in this world is fenced in by some restraint or expectation, so practice in staying true to principle while fulfilling obligations is an excellent excercise!
The first scripture I would offer all participants, parents and teachers is Galatians 1:10; Do I seek to please men or to please God? For if I please men, I cannot be a bondservant of Christ.
Gratefully in Him, Charly
