2012 Bible Reading Challenge
The Bible. God’s Word. It’s living. Active. Sharper than a sword. Sweeter than honey. It can renew your mind. Restore your soul. Transform your life. It was written by fishermen, doctors, shepherds and kings. Yet every word is inspired by the One Who created all things. We read the Bible, but the Bible also reads us. It shows us who we are. And it shows us who we can become. Most importantly it can help us develop a deeper relationship with its Author, the Living Word, Jesus Christ.
Over 100 years ago Charles Spurgeon said, “I can find ten men who will die for the Bible for every one who will read it.” Today it’s worse. The average American owns 3 bibles yet reads none of them. Only 18% of professing Christians read the Bible each day. But this can change!
You can decide right now to make God’s Word a priority in your life. Develop a habit. Go deeper. Grow stronger. Get closer to the One Who loves you the most. This year our church family is embarking on a journey through the Story of God. It’s an investment in the eternal. Will you join us?
Getting Started
There are a few things that will help you get off to a good start and to stay the course for this journey through the Bible:

- Decide when and where you will read the Bible each day. Pick a comfortable place free from distractions, and a time you will set aside to seek God each day.
- List a few “reading partners” whom you can mutually encourage to keep on track this year.
- Make a commitment, asking God to help you read through the Bible in 2012.
