Have you ever wanted to read the Bible though? Do you start out strong in January and by the end of February you have bogged down in Chronicles and end up falling away? It only takes Just 15 Pages A Day.
I have just finished reading the Bible through for the first time this year. Yes, I said the first time. In 2008 I expect to read the Bible through at least 4 times. Now before you quit reading let me finish. You too can read the Bible through more than once. I learned this method/technique/ system and if you take a large print Bible and read at least 15 pages a day you will read it through 3 times. If you read 20 pages you will it will equal 4 times.
Now why would you read it that many times? I didn’t say study, I said read it through. Read it for the sake of getting the big picture, read it with the intent of trying to grasp the fullness, not a specific topic. I have been reading the Bible this way for about 20 years and I still get something new out of it every single time.
I challenge you, get a large print Bible and set aside 20 minutes a day to start at page 1 and read just 15 pages a day. Don’t worry if you can’t pronounce the names, don’t worry about all the details, just read to get the feeling and the flow of the entire book. I recommend having a notepad and pen with you so that is something jumps out you can note it and then go back later and study that out, but continue reading until you see that in about 4 months you will not only have read the Bible through but you will have a whole new perspective.
Let me know what you think.
