The Purpose
I have a few purposes in beginning this blog.
- Firstly, I wish to make myself accountable to reading the Bible.
- I would also like to help others come closer to Christ.
- I hope that it can start conversation about different passages of Scripture and different topics about Christianity, so we can all learn more about our faith.
I am going to begin by writing notes everyday on the passages of Scripture I read. I plan to be reading from the New Living Translation. The notes will be recorded on this blog for others to discuss and for a personal reference. Comments and conversation are warmly welcomed, as we all may learn something from it or encourage each other by it.
After I have gone through the entire Bible, I hope to either discuss topics of Christianity or study individual passages in more detail.
I hope you get something from reading these posts.

So, will you be starting with the Old Testament and then working back through to the New Testament?

Yes, I will be going straight through the books of the Bible as it is written, starting with the Old Testament.

Why don’t you read them chronologically?

It’s easier this way to just go straight through the Bible. I want to read through an entire book rather than flipping through different books based on timeline (at least for this time through).
