Let's journey through the 4 Gospels in 45 days

Here’s a handy challenge for reading through the Gospels! We’ll read a couple of chapters each day to work through the first four books of the New Testament.

 The plan takes us (in biblical order) through all four Gospels.

   It’s a super way to study the ministry of our Lord Christ on the earth, as we read each of the four Gospel accounts: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.

 We’ll start on February 1^st and finish in the middle of March.

 

Here’s a handy calendar to guide our daily reading.

 You can even print it out and check off each box, as we go. (I’ll be updating the one in the sidebar of this page, making myself accountable for the goal.)

 

Gospel readers: Start your engines.

 Ready, set, go!

Join me in reading through Psalms and Proverbs in a month

 

Who’s diving into the Scriptures, as the new year opens?

 Not sure where to start? Here’s an idea.

 

Join me in reading through Psalms and Proverbs in one month.

 It’s simple. Just read FIVE PSALMS and ONE PROVERBS chapter each day. (Hint: Save a little extra time when we get to Psalms 119, the longest chapter in the whole Bible.)

Reading through the Bible in 2022. Join us!

 

 Have you read through the entire Bible? It sounds like a daunting task, but also a great goal for the coming year.

 It’s been a while since I journeyed from cover to cover in the Scriptures, and I’m eager to do this again. Plus, a group of inspiring friends has decided to do this together. Accountability and encouragement count for plenty, when it comes to approaching all 66 books in God’s Holy Word.

 

 Our group is following a plan that takes us through the Bible chronologically, with an eye towards increased understanding of God’s hand in human history. We’re using our own adaptation of a chronological Bible reading plan we found online.

 This is an ambitious goal. It means reading multiple chapters of Scripture each day. Some days, that may come easily. Other days, it may prove to be more challenging. But God promises to meet us in His Word.

 “So shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.” (Isaiah 55:11, ESV)

 

Want to join us?

 Pick your translation. Read the Bible in printed book form, electronically, or even in audio format. Yes, you can listen to the Bible in a live feed, podcast, CD, or other techy formats, if you want. 

 

 Can’t wait to see what we learn along the way!

 And may God open our minds to understand His Word. (See Luke 24:45.)

Ripped my heart out, but bared my soul

As an adoptive parent, I never really understood what the birthing process felt like. Now I believe I may have an inkling.

I have a brand-new book.

Here’s the title:

Stealing Wonder: A Rhyming Race to Capture Grace.

It’s a soul-deep testimony of God’s grace, expressed in a series of inspirational, but often intense, poems. For He is faithful, even when I am utterly faithless. He is loving, when I am not. And His promises never fail.

I wrote Stealing Wonder: A Rhyming Race to Capture Grace over the course of several years, and it still astonishes me how the clearly traceable themes continue through many segments of the path along which the Lord has nudged me.

Honestly, this book ripped my heart out, but it bared my soul.

These are no Bible-thumping platitudes. God’s grace is gritty and gutsy and real. He meets us where failing flesh learns to fly.

I accepted the Lord more than four decades ago, and I need His grace and mercy more than ever.

Maybe you can identify with that. Perhaps we all can.

Stealing Wonder: A Rhyming Race to Capture Grace is available in trade paperback on Amazon.
