I’m having a blast. The parables today actually came alive to me. Also, my daughter and son-in-law have committed to the challenge! Praise God! As a side note: Spring comes in 18 days !!
Mike & Carolyn Moser says:
Day 3 - Carolyn and I are reading New Life in 30 together - we take turns reading a chapter aloud to each other and commenting on how God is speaking to us, footnotes from our Life Application Bibles, etc. It is a great and different perspective chronologically. And we really like reading it together! We had to read early today with WOW tonight and our challenge and prayer is that we make the time to read together regardless of our schedules !
Why is it that as many books as we read - the Bible is the most important and the only one we don’t start at the beginning and read all the way through ?
First impressions - New Life in 30 is awesome and God is blessing us INDEED through this exercise !
Paula Stechman says:
This has been so great to be challenged every day and to have an assignment. My daughter Amber is 9 years old and we committed to do this together, and the growth she is getting from this is so rewarding. I read it out loud to her and she reads the key verse to me and we discuss it. She has stopped me time and time again to ask questions about something she doesn’t understand or needs further explanation. It is so good for the both of us because the words I have read so many times before are making me see them through a child’s perspective, which is so pure and earnest!
Roger and Kathy Price says:
We have been reading out loud together as a family every night, and Austin, who is 11, always reminds us when its time to read. We have grown closer as a family through the discussions as we read.
Jim Pouliot says:
A week has now past and I must say it’s been very fruitful for me. After finishing Acts today, I had forgotten just how much persecution Paul went through to spread the word. But God showed me through Paul’s journey just how much he enables, provides, and protects us when we are working on his team !
Loren Lanter says:
I THINK I have a mini-grasp on this one, but does anyone have any “non-look-it-up-in-a-commentary” insights on the following passage?:
Mark 7:9-13
9 He said to them, “[All too] well you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition. 10 For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother’; and, ‘He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.’ 11 But you say, ‘If a man says to his father or mother, “Whatever profit you might have received from me [is] Corban”–’ (that is, a gift [to] God), 12 then you no longer let him do anything for his father or his mother, 13 making the word of God of no effect through your tradition which you have handed down. And many such things you do.”
Carroll, Nettie Bruce says:
We become more excited everyday with our 30 day reading of the new testement. WOW. We are senior’s and have never experienced the gospel the way we are now. We begin with our first cup of coffee and sometimes read and discuss until near lunch time. We read out loud taking turn with the chapters,it’s fun and we have learned a lot by playing off each other’s thoughts and looking up things in our life application bibles
Carroll’s brother and sister are reading (some) and we are praying for the Holy spirit to give them a longing to know Jesus as their savior and the joy in their life the spirit brings,Not only their lives but the lives of their troubled families.
