Ok – It’s been a while since I’ve pushed any of my friends to read through the Bible with me.\u00c2\u00a0 The wait is over!\u00c2\u00a0 I got a lot of feed back that reading the Bible cover to cover in six months was just too much (don’t get me started – 7 chapters a day = 30 mins of reading, ANYWAY…), so for those of you that said you just couldn’t study the bible ‘that fast’ – we are slowing it down.<\/p>\n
Starting July, we are reading the New Testament in six months – that’s right, a mere 1.5 chapters a day if you wanted to read straight through.\u00c2\u00a0 You won’t get a better deal than that!\u00c2\u00a0 Ok – I’m making light of the situation, however we are going to ‘study’ the word and not just read it, so there may not be a set ‘reading’ schedule per se, but its all still being worked out.\u00c2\u00a0 One suggestion was that we group the books together and pick blocks of time to cover a group – for instance, July and August we could dedicate to reading the four gospels, but not have a rigid chapters per day set.\u00c2\u00a0 You could read the gospels in parallel and compare them, or read quickly past the ‘begets’ and spend days on the beatitudes.<\/p>\n
As always, we are going to log our thoughts, questions, revelations online with my good friend Jason Fisher’s website: http:\/\/www.blog.godfidence.org\/bible\/<\/a><\/p>\n
