About the Living Room Study…
Someone asked me why I challenge everyone to read a chapter of the Bible, each day…as opposed to my teaching a chapter each week. It was a good question, and I did a little research. Here’s what I found.
There are 66 books in the bible. The Torah and Tanakh (Old Testament) are comprised of 907 chapters. The New Testament has 260 chapters. That’s a total of 1167 chapters. Taking the weeks of Christmas and Easter into consideration, we basically have 50 weeks each year to teach. If we study the bible, a chapter per week, it will take 23.34 years to finish God’s Word. When we read the bible linearly, a chapter each day, we finish the bible in 3.2 years. Plus we have a better understanding of the themes & context of each book, and how they fit together in the big picture.
We live in exciting times, and the world offers us a myriad of God-less options. The level of faithfulness we employ today, in making those choices, will drastically effect our futures.
Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. Rom 10:17
Let’s get on the “fast trak” and pursue God’s Word, together, without abandon!
Blessings.

Was flipping through some old CD’s and found the one you gave me and autographed, “to my good friend and only mentoree”. Thought I would google you and see what your family is up to these days. You look very California in the photos!
I am home in Canada, doing counseling in private practice and a lot of singing. Would love to hear from you guys if you get a chance. If you are on facebook you can look me up there.
