Read Year Bible '12

In 2012 a group of us are going to read through the Bible. Everyone is invited. We’re going to read through in chronological order using Coram Deo’s reading plan found here: http://cdomaha.com/resources.php under Gospel Formation “Yearly Bible Reading Plan.” This is primarily a Hanscom Park deal, but I could never in good conscience tell anyone ever that they should not read the Bible through in a year. So anyone is welcome to join. I already asked my mom. So you can too. (Chronological means we read in the order that things happened, not necessarily the order the 66 Bible books are in).

When I told Doug that I felt like I was reading my Bible all alone, he told me to lead a group through reading starting Jan 1, 2012. So that’s why I’m writing this, and not him.

Hosea commends us to "know, let us press on to know the Lord. For His going out is sure as the dawn; He will come to us as the showers, as the spring rains that water the earth” (lots of verses are similar, this is just one of my favorite.).

Reading the Bible is a unique way of getting to know our God. Nothing compares when it comes to understanding His ways and heart. Prayer helps us know, but in a different way (reading the Bible works best when knit with prayer). Creation tells us certain things, but only so much. Because of this, reading the Bible is essential to knowing Jesus well. And all of it talks about Him, so we ought not to leave anything out. So we are going to read it all through this year.
