We believe that the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments were given by inspiration of God, and that they only constitute the Divine rule of Christian faith and practice.

Being good, Bible-believing people that we are, we’ve begun to really challenge one another to stay in the Word daily.  After all…

• If this really is a message from outside the universe, we really should know it well.

• And if it really is authored by a Being so much greater than ourselves, we’ll have to work at it to really understand.

• And if we’re really human, it’s not something we can cram into our minds.  We need to visit the text often, and in small enough portions that the Word has opportunity to take root in our souls, bit by glorious bit.

So, we’re doing this together.

We’re reading through the entire Bible in one year, beginning today, March 1, 2010.  You can join us – it’s easy and it’s free.

Find more details on the Bible in One Year page.  Details like:

• How and why this is a chronological reading, which makes it NOT a Genesis to Revelation reading straight through.

• How you can commit to reading only the New Testament in one year instead of the entire Bible.

• How to get the digital version OR the print version (or both!).

If you really want to stay on top of this, ask for daily reminders via email.

Here’s week two of our “Prayers from the Bible” series of readings.  Use these prayers to bolster your spirit and shore up your convictions – next week we’ll begin the full one-year walk through the Bible!

The one year plan finds us reading through the entire Bible chronologically.  We begin in Genesis, but quickly find ourselves in Job, then back to Genesis again, and so on.

To keep our minds alert, though, we’re actually doing two separate readings at once: each day includes a portion of the Old Testament and a portion of the New Testament, so it’s really two separate timelines per day.
