Verse for Today

Read the entire Bible in one year

Read the Bible.
Every day for a year.

Every day?  Why bother?

If your life is all about you, don't read this book.  Put it down now.  Take it back.  You won't like where it takes you.  But if your life is about something more ...

Even if you suspect that it should be, then read on.  But be warned - there are dangerous ideas within.  Life-changing ideas.

What do you live for?
Who do you live for?

We were made for something more: CONNECTION.

The creation story tells us that we were made for connection - with God and others.  It is not good for us to be alone.

We invite you on a journey.  Not complex; not easy.  Simple, but hard.

ONE YEAR - to learn, to see, to grow, to connect.
ONE YEAR - to connect with God. God's terms ... not yours.

You will not be left unchanged.  Unconnected.  The challenge: (1) Do it; (2) Tell someone. Connection is just a word if you're still own.  Connect with God, and others.  How you do it is up to you.  Tell your friends, do the weekly reading together, blog about it.  In short, do what you do, be who you are, and let your connection with God shine through.

As part of my personal spiritual discipline in 2012, I have decided to read through the entire Bible this year.  This is possible thanks to an amazing resource, The One-Year Bible, which provides a reading plan to enable one to read through the Old and New Testaments (as well as Psalms) once, and Proverbs twice by the end of the year.

To keep me accountable and on track with the plan, I have decided to share a reflection on one of the passages each day.  You are invited to join me on this Biblical adventure.

May God bless you mightily as you delve into the riches of Scripture!
