A New Year Resolution for 2018
How's your track record when it comes to New Year's Resolutions? Mine tend to go in one year and out the other - boom, boom...
But here's one I've made for 2018 - it's one which I invite members of Holy Trinity to join me in. If we do it together, we can encourage (challenge?) one another throughout the year!
The Bible in One Year app is a programme of daily Bible readings set over 365 days. A reading each day from the Old Testament, New Testament and a Psalm.
You can arrange for them to be delivered daily to your email inbox, or download the BiOY App on your smartphone.There is the option to read the passages daily, or listen to them read to you.
In addition there is the option to listen to a commentary (by Nicky Gumbel) on each passage. If you choose to listen to the readings and commentaries, there is about 25 minutes of listening each day.
Having people alongside you who are doing the same thing is a great encouragement, so Chris and Sonya Barrow are offering to host a monthly gathering - over a meal - for any who want to get together to discuss what they've read over the previous month. Contact them on htr_bible18@yahoo.com for more information about meeting up.
Many Holy Trinity members already have a discipline of daily bible reading,
and we’re keen to encourage you to continue in that! If you decide to use BiOY,
could you do so alongside your existing plan?
“Blessed is the one…whose delight is in the law of the Lord,
and who
meditates on his law day and night.
That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither— whatever they do prospers.”
That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither— whatever they do prospers.”
Psalm 1
Could 2018 be the year
that you rise to the challenge and enjoy the blessing of reading the whole of
the Bible in 12 months?
