Bible Challenge begins today!!!! Details of this 12 week challenge are below.
Psalms 1:1-3 "Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor standeth in the way of sinners, Nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord; And in His law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, That bringeth forth his fruit in his season; His leaf also shall not wither; And whatsoever he doeth shall prosper."
This Bible Challenge should not focus on past failures. It should focus however on the very real possibility of reading through the Bible start to finish whether it be for the first time or for another time through. Whether it be from Genesis to Revelation or whether it be in Chronological order. It should not overwhelm you with the information you do not know, but enlighten you as you go. The beauty of reading the Bible through as you would any other book in your possession is that you will ascertain understanding and foundation you might otherwise miss. You can make notes throughout your daily readings of deeper studies you want to go back and do. The dates of this 12 week Bible Challenge are January 7th - April 1st, 2013.
By doing the 12 week Bible Challenge, you are in essence signing on for a 90 day reading Challenge short 5 days. Whether you decide to adhere to a 90 day schedule and double on five days; or just be five days shy of completion of your 90 days schedule; or take these 85 days to be 85 days in on a six month or year schedule; take this opportunity to get on your journey to a better understanding of the Bible!
For various timeline reading schedules, just Google whichever you are interested. Know that for a 90 day schedule, you will need to be able to set aside at least an hour each day for your reading. Less time for a six month or year schedule. Be very honest with how much time you will give to this so you do not get defeated and quit. Even if you fall behind, keep going because the important thing is your efforts and time with God in His Word!
