Reading the entire Bible

This sermon might be a blessing to someone and answer those questions.
Hopefully others will be encouraged to make this a daily routine.

The Half Has Not Been Told
Pastor Bruce Mejia, First Works Baptist Church

I have noticed that those who depend upon daily devotional booklets or websites do not grow spiritually nearly like those who find the inner motivation to stay in the raw Word of God. The Holy Spirit seems to really help them understand as they hunger and thirst for His Word. I keep an archival pen next to me to underline and make marginal notes and cross references. I expect to be blessed every day and get insight directly from the Spirit. Sometimes He even reminds me of other verses that coincide or answer questions to a passage I'm reading. Then I open and He has me look directly to the verse that I did not know where it was. I would miss that blessing if I didn't spend the time reading the very Word of God. I hope others will be blessed this way too.

I pick a version. I pick an activity where I'm alone to associate with reading it.

For instance. Last time, I picked the ISV and chose any time that I sat in the waiting room to read it. It took about three years.

I'm reading "Miller's Church History" while I am in the waiting room. I plan to go to ESV next.

Everyone has a reading room. Replace all the reading materials with a large print Bible.

More times than I can count since I haven't kept track. My biggest gain is growing closer to God through His Word. It's an excellent way to get to know our Creator, and to have a good idea of what's coming and why the world is as crazy as it is today.
