Project 2013: Read Your Bible Through in a Year starts tomorrow. Remember that “context is everything,” when you are reading the Bible. That’s why it’s so important to read it through. You begin to see God’s overall plan. There is a continuity throughout the Word which many people miss, as they jump around from verse to verse.
I will be commenting each day. Sometimes I may have lots to say; sometimes little.
It would be great for you to leave comments also.
There are a few rules:
- We are assuming that the Bible is truly God’s Word. (If you don’t believe that the Bible is truly His Word, you are welcome to read along with us, but please don’t try to argue that God wasn’t behind the writing of this special book).
- And speaking of arguing, let’s don’t do it. If you have positive insights, please feel free to express them, but don’t be argumentative.
- If you miss a day or two or three, don’t give up. You can catch up with us.
- Try to look at the Word with fresh eyes. If you have read the Bible through many times before, you may feel that you already know everything it says. Let God speak to you anew and afresh as you read. That’s where the blessings are.
- We will be reading from the Old and New Testaments every day.
