Seriously Here are some good plans: [1] I think the One-Year Bible is good: a chapter from the Old, a chapter from the New, a Psalm, and a Proverb. [2] The Chronological Bible is great! I really like that one. [3] For me, since I have taught the Bible for many, many years - I like to read a book at a time [sometimes 2-3 books at a time = 2-4 chapters a day]. Two chapters a day = you can read the Bible in 2 years Four chapters a day = you can read the Bible in 1 year. Daily Bible reading with prayer is such a blessing indeed ..... @Jayne....... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh that kinda depends on whether I want to use the Bible to justify what I want it to say, or whether I want to enjoy reading to actually be learning from it. Actually, I have been fortunate enough to be led to local church bodies that study word by word, verse by verse, through the Bible. Not necessarily in order but by books. Ha come to think of it , I did spend two years with a nice group of Christians that read through the Bible in sequence OT one year, NT the next. That was until we got to the Book I was most interested in going through with this group, for a lot of what they seem to believe just wasn't clicking as accurate in my mind as it related to what I thought was so. Finally two years into it, and I am ready to ask how does the church's conclusions and actions mesh with the book Revelation- And instead they went from Jude back to Genesis, skipping Revelation altogether. Say what, what happened to Revelation? "Oh we don't read that" Seems in order to fit their doctrines Revelation had to be hopped over. Took me two years! To find out they thought we were in the millennium time and that Satan is bond and .... Oh my, wonderful people, but wow was that a stunner, that I had not picked up on that particular quirk of doctrine. They were so diligent kind and sharing I had missed it altogether. But then a lot of the why things weren't quite matching up as we went along finally made sense, and sadly though they were the kindest of Christians I had to exit stage right. Life's adventure has it's little side trips. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting, another way of being disciplined in one's seekings. Since my own local bodies of Jesus that hav ebeen led to tend to do word by word verse by verse through th eBible. I find own my own time so to speak I do Topical Reading/study seeking application for life's needs desires and uses. Those tend to tke me through multiple books, or are least full chapters within books, at a time in cross reference fashion. For me seeking out a verse is dangerous stuff that can lead me astray of God's will and into just confirming that my own will is endorsed by God. -Danger, Danger, Will Robinson! Those here is what I think and see God says the same thing moments. Can be bad stuff that does little good and sometimes is harmful. Leads to "Oops!" moments and a lot of "sorry 'bout that " times. THOUGH once having read for fullest context, then a reminder via God the Holy Spirit, from a simple passage sure does come to mind and is often very helpful, to me anyway.

Unless I am researching a subject or looking something up to post here, I normally listen to the Bible. For about 25 years I listened to the whole bible three times a year and the New Testament probably 4 times a month. (I drove about 3,500 miles a month). now days i try and listen to the whole bible once a year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
