Reading the Bible for Transformation

As we begin discussing what we believe about the Bible you may find this blog helpful for getting the most out of your devotions.(I know I did!)



Beginning January 1, 2010 I will begin a one year Bible Reading plan and I would like to invite you to join me in this journey. The goal is to read through the entire Bible in one year. Obviously the object of this goal is not merely to "get through" the Bible but rather to allow the Bible "get through" us.

Certainly to read through the entire canon of scripture in a single year is a noble pursuit yet the ultimate goal is for our lives to be transformed by God's Word. Let it be our ambition to at every turn encounter the Incarnate Word of God (Jesus) through the Written Word of God (the Bible) that we may know Him, Love Him, Obey Him, Serve Him, and Proclaim Him! Join me in this spiritual procedure in 2010: to allow God's Word to penetrate our hearts, remove the disease of sin, transplant faith in Jesus, and suture us through His Spirit to be faithful disciple-makers. -PT
