The official motto of Nazarene Youth International comes from 1 Timothy 4:12--"Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity." The role of teen Bible quizzing in this challenge is to help cultivate the actions, attitudes, and lifestyle necessary to realize this motto. The quizzing program aims to achieve this goal through a four-part approach: (1) by encouraging meaningful Bible study, (2) by developing discipleship and life-application skills, (3) by creating opportunities for interaction and fellowship, and (4) by providing avenues for exciting Christian competition. These rules are necessary to achieve a program whose purpose and standards are clear and consistent. It is the duty of every person associated with quizzing to uphold the integrity of the rules and the quizzing program. Any attempt to gain an advantage by circumvention, disregard, or manipulation of these rules is unethical and detrimental to the quizzing program and to the ministry it promotes. Rules alone can never prevent unfair tactics or unsportsmanlike
attitudes. The actions and attitudes of every person involved (quizzers,
coaches, officials, etc.) should be in accord with the purpose and objectives
of both NYI and the quizzing program. The pursuit of success must never
dominate the commitment to exhibit a Christ-like example. In every situation--both
in and out of quizzing--strive to maintain the standards of the teen
Bible quizzing program.
