The reading for Monday, December 11, 2023 , is Hebrews 1 - 3

 I find Hebrews a difficult book to read. The "faith chapter" doesn't particularly move me.

Reading the Bible Through in 1 year

Planning to try to do this again in 2025.  Hoping to add to previous posts and to stay on the schedule better.  The schedule, in general, is to read 3 Bible chapters 6 days per week and 5 Bible chapters on the 7th day of the week.  May the reading of the Word bless you.  Previous post: I have long wanted to create an online space in which people could discuss Bible passages. To that end, this blog will show what chapters to read/listen to each day to finish reading the Bible through in a little less than 1 year. We will read 3 chapters every day except on Sundays. On Sundays we will read 5 chapters. If I calculated correctly, this reading plan will finish on Christmas day 2023.  Feel free to comment, reflect and/ or to agree, disagree and, perhaps most importantly, to agree to disagree and move forward together.   This is a place for civil and respectful discussion/reflection. Some scriptures to consider: Titus 3:9  But avoid  foolish controversie...

The reading for Tuesday, February 7, 2023 , is Numbers 7 - 9

Numbers 7 - 9   Although I find the listing of what each tribe brought to the tabernacle dry reading, I do note that each tribe brought exactly the same thing. It's fair. I am also curious about how they decided which tribe presented on which day. It's not by age and it doesn't say.  I am also struck by a celebration lasting 12 days. What celebration in our culture lasts 12 days? None that I can think of. The longest thing I can think of in our culture is the county fair which lasts for a week.  I continue to remind myself that all of these offerings speak to the holiness of God and a greater understanding, albeit it a nanoparticle, of the import of Jesus' death on the cross.

The reading for Friday, January 6, 2023 , is Genesis 18 - 20

 Today's reading:  Genesis 18-20 The Lord and 2 men visit Abraham, Sodom & Gomorrah, Lot & his daughters, Abraham & Abimelech When these visitors come to Abraham, I am struck by how long the meal would take. 36 pounds of flour is a lot of bread to make. The calf still needs to be butchered and then cooked. Sounds like an all day thing to me.  I have often been struck by Abraham's boldness in asking the Lord to save Sodom & Gomorrah, starting at 50 and then making the way down to 10. Today, I think of Abraham's persistence when speaking to the Lord. I also find myself wondering if Abraham was thinking to himself, with each increment, that place is pretty wicked this might be a losing battle.  What was the sin of Sodom?  Ezekiel 16:49 & 50    “‘Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy.   They were haughty and d...
