God's Word in 2008

As 2007 comes to a close, we have got two more great worship opportunities at Lord of Life. Sunday morning our Lord of Life Youth will be leading worship and we will also welcome back a special guest, our former worship leader, Chad Negley. And finally, on New Year’s Eve we’ve got worship at 7pm as we look to move forward in 2008.

Speaking of 2008, I hope that you will consider joining me in reading through the Bible. For the last few years I have used the popular One Year Bible reading plan (www.oneyearbibleonline.com). I will be using this plan once again, and invite you to join in this journey through the Word. I will also make sure to post the listed readings for each day in my blog (www.pastorpr.blogspot.com) and also in our Sunday morning bulletin at Lord of Life.

If you have never attempted to read through the Bible before, my suggestion would be to set a goal in 2008 to read through just the New Testament and not the entire Bible. The entire Bible is a big investment and when you get a little behind it becomes easy to get frustrated and give up. The New Testament is something that is very manageable and if you get behind it doesn’t take that much to catch up.

Another option for going through the New Testament would be to use the audio Bibles that have been distributed at Lord of Life the last few weekends. The “You’ve Got the Time” listening plan is a 40 day plan that takes 28 minutes each day. There are still a handful of copies available in the Fellowship Center.

God’s blessings in 2008,
