OUTSIDE READING ASSIGNMENT A One Year Bible Reading Program Used by Permission

Program Introduction The Bible is God s revealed Word to men. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to discover what it says and obey it! Many Christians confine their Bible reading to certain favorite portions and only when they feel the need. But the Scriptures declare, The whole Bible was given by inspiration from God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives; it straightens us out and helps us do what is right. It is God s way of making us well-prepared at every point, fully equipped to do good to everyone ( Timothy :,, Living Bible). Want to know a secret of the Apostle Paul s dynamic, fruitful life? Listen to his testimony, This is why we never collapse. The outward man does indeed suffer wear and tear, but everyday the inward man receives fresh strength ( Corinthians :, Phillips). To keep spiritually fit we need the whole Bible, and we need to feed our souls from it daily. Bible reading helps us know Jesus Christ better. We learn most about Jesus in the New Testament, particularly the Gospels, but He is actually the theme of the entire Book. After His resurrection Jesus astounded two of His disciples by beginning at Moses and all the prophets (the Old Testament) and interpreting to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself (see Luke :). Look for Jesus Christ throughout the Bible. People are groping for purpose and meaning to life. But we have undermined the very foundation for purposeful living by substituting God s truth with humanistic speculations. The result is more and more people confused, frustrated and in despair. How assuring are the words of Jesus to His Father, Thy Word is truth! Yes, the Book is true. And it is absolutely trustworthy. Men s theories undergo constant change, but the Bible needs no alteration. It is the most up-to-date Book there is. It is anchored in historical events and invites honest investigation. You can unreservedly place your confidence in it. Develop the habit of regular, consecutive Bible reading and meditation and mark your growth in spiritual vitality, joy, stability and usefulness. The Plan. You will read the New Testament in one year, and you can read the Old Testament either in one or two years.. Check the appropriate squares when you have read the specified portions. If you follow the one-year plan you will check both outside columns for the Old Testament, but only the left column in the shaded New Testament area.. Don t fall behind in your reading. If you miss a day continue to read according to date and as soon as possible make up the missed passages.

. The Old Testament books are read in the order in which they appear in the Bible. If you follow the one-year plan, you will read in two sections of the Old Testament each day, beginning with Genesis and Ezra.. In keeping with the object of knowing Christ, the reading of the four Gospels is spaced throughout the year.. You will read an average of verses a day for the two-year plan and verses for the one-year plan. Program Program In Chapter Ten our lesson was the and its importance in learning how to develop our own personal relationship to the Lord. At that time we introduced you to a very simple -day program, called Appointment with God. This program guided you through a series of different ways, or patterns, you could use in addressing a passage of Scripture. Last week you completed the Appointment with God series. In this lesson you are introduced to a Program which allows you to use these passages of Scripture to guide you in developing your relationship with God. These Bible Reading charts will take you through the entire Bible in one or two years. If you do not have some other reading program you are following, let me encourage you to let the Program become your guide for passages.
