Every word of the Bible is living and will bring life to us even when we do not fully comprehend what we are reading. The Bible is our daily bread. To have a healthy spirit we have to have a well-balanced meal, and not just snack on familiar, topical, or even favorite portions.

The 2-tier approach:

Our year-long journey will take us through the New Testament three times and the Old Testament once. The pace works out to be around five chapters a day, out of five sections in the Bible. The New Testament readings are referred to as Tier One: Gospels/Acts and Epistles/Revelation. The Old Testament readings are referred to as Tier Two: History, Poetry, and Prophets.

Jesus is the fulfillment of all the Bible, so I would instruct you to immerse yourself in the New Testament passages daily and if you have the time, then go for the Old Testament passages.

Even though it’s broken up into 66 books, The Bible really is just ONE BOOK. By reading through both the New and Old Testaments simultaneously, we will grasp a deeper understanding of the heart of the Father and we are more likely to begin to SEE Jesus in every part of the Word. The Author, Himself longs to encounter you on every page.

Off we go!

The implanted word is able to save our souls. Here is our eternal promise in receiving the implanted word in our hearts, the salvation of our souls. Wait a minute, I thought my soul is saved? Well, it is saved in the fact that if we die, our soul ascends with our...

That I May Know Him – Week 30

Our Bible reading is about to pay rich dividends. It’s all about Jesus! That’s why we are reading the New Testament three times this year and the Old Testament only once. This is because now everything is spoken in the Son. God speaks Jesus. This week, we are...

That I May Know Him – Week 29

All Scripture is profitable and equips us thoroughly. We cover Timothy and Titus and walk with Jesus up to His arrest in the Gospel of John. We will finish Judges and read through Ruth. Psalms of Ascents continue, and we will read the description of Ezekiel’s Temple....

That I May Know Him – Week 28

The Holy Spirit and belief in the truth bring sanctification into glory. 2 Thessalonians 2 contrasts two moves of mankind. One away from God called the “falling away.” The other is the “obtaining the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.” What is central is that the falling...

Let us celebrate our freedom in Christ! The Liberty Bell is an iconic symbol of American Independence and was cast with the inscription, “Proclaim LIBERTY throughout all the Land unto all the inhabitants thereof” (Leviticus 25:10). In North America, we celebrate the...

Freedom and our Inheritance are found in Bible reading! I enjoy reading aloud the Scriptures and I enjoy listening to the Scriptures being read. I do both depending on my day and time restraints. In twenty-some minutes I can listen to five chapters we are reading as I...

That I May Know Him – Week 25

The word of God will make us free because it brings us to Jesus. Jesus said to those Jews who believed in Him, “If you abide in my word, you are my disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free” (John 8:31, 32). That’s how powerful...

That I May Know Him – Week 24

The Lord told Joshua to be strong and courageous and then He told him how. Strength and courage are required today in the face of so many uncertainties. God’s ability to perform His promises is ours to expect. But, when fear and dismay take over through our senses and...

That I May Know Him – Week 23

Scripture reading is the only way into the fullness of God. Without God’s word, we are powerless against the devil and subject to the world. Jesus said, in His prayer to the Father, before being offered up as our sacrifice: “I do not pray that You should take them out...
