The New Testament In 100 Days!
Did you know that in less than 100 days (Jan-March) you can read through
the entire New Testament? Even if you cannot do it for the entire
year we challenge you to at least read through the New Testament
during the first 100 days of the year 2002. It is not a hard task to
read the New Testament. Many people start their "Through the Bible"
effort with Genesis and give up somewhere in Leviticus. Start with the
New Testament and it will be easier. You can read through the entire New
Testment in less than 20 hours, that's less than an hour and a half
per week -- about 12 minutes a day!

Daily Readings
Bible reading is a great way to schedule time alone with God whether in the 
morning or the evening before going to bed. Each reading is about 3 chapters in 
length. You ought to be able to do it in less than a 1/2 hour. Discipline 
yourself to do it at the same time and place every day.

Sunday Readings
Sunday is make-up day. If you missed any reading or if you read only a
few chapters per day make up for lost time by reading for an hour on
the Lord's Day. You may even choose to make Sunday afternoon your entire
Bible Reading Time. In three hours reading you can make up the entire week.

Reading Out Loud
Getting sleepy while reading the word is a common problem. One way to overcome
the sleepiness is to read the Bible outloud. It can be whispered or in a loud 
voice. It helps. Try standing up and reading from a raised desk. It is harder
to fall asleep while standing.

Listening Through the Bible
The Bible on Cassette tape is a great way to go through the Bible in a year. 
There are advantages to this kind of reading. 1) You can be involved in other
things while listing - like jogging, walking, ironing, etc. 2) The pace is 
always the same, and the difficult words are pronouced for you. 

Notebook in Hand
One of the drawbacks to listening to tapes is that you cannot mark your Bible 
while the reading is going on, unless you are accompanying it with your Bible 
open. Whether you listen or read the Bible through try keeping a journal of your 
reading either with a notebook handy while you read or marking in the margin of 
your Bible.

Discovering God's Promises:
As you search for promises to live by pay particular attention to Jesus power 
over "all the work of the enemy." Wherever you are in the Bible there are things 
to pay special attention to. Nothing is so precious as to discover new and 
precious promises.

Ask Yourself
    Is there a promise to claim?
    Is there a command to obey?
    Is there an example to follow?
    Is there a sin to avoid?
    Is there a truth to explore further?


Children's Bible Reading
It is not easy for a child to read through the Bible nor to sit and
listen to long passages being read. We recommend that if you have
children in your home that you read daily one story from Ken Taylor's
"The Book."  Ken Taylor is the translator of the Living Bible.  He did
that while commuting by train to and from work so that his children
would understand the Scriptures.

The children have caught up with us.  Be sure to go with us to the New
Testament.  It is important to follow the Law with the Grace of God as
revealed in Jesus. "The Law came throught Moses but grace and truth
came through our Lord Jesus Christ." (John 1:17)
