| Jon reading this morning, while Abigail snuggles! |
I don't know
that this title is adequate, but for most people it is the time when they make
changes in their life. I posted at the beginning of 2010 that our family is in the habit of reading thru the
Bible every year together using a NIV Chronological Bible.
.
It is like
brushing our teeth, it is part of the daily routine. We get up, the kids do
their math lessons with Jon, I prepare breakfast, we eat, get ready for our
day, and then before we all go our separate ways we read the Bible together.
The chronological versions of the Bible separates the scripture into 365
readings in the order scholars think they actually occurred. For example when
you get to the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John and they all tell the same
story you would be reading each of those on the same day. For me, I've found it
really has helped be understand the course of events better.

.
This will not
be the only Bible time we have during the day, the kids have done studies on
New Testament Survey; Denominational Doctrines; the Reformation Movement; Apocrypha
Writings; and studies of various individual books of the Bible. Jon enjoys studying
books of the Bible and reading commentaries. Me, I like just about any of the
Beth Moore study books or First Place
.
.
Last year the publishing
company was changing the cover on
the particular publication that we have been reading for the last decade, so I
purchased Bibles with the old cover for each of the kids. One day when they go
off to college I will pack it along with them and we can all still read
together-ish! You don't have to have a chronological Bible to read scripture in
the order in which scholars think they occurred there are great reading plans that let you use your current Bible.
Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds;
tie them as symbols on your hands
and bind them on your foreheads.
Deuteronomy 11:18
