large church - extensive study about spiritual growth and actually made it available to the public. their results?
“The common models of activating spiritual growth such as “getting people involved” in church activities (attending worship, participating in small groups, serving the needy) or sharpening their beliefs (salvation by grace, the authority of the Bible, person of Christ) were helpful but not the most effective vehicles for producing evidence of spiritual growth. The most powerful “catalyst” for moving people through stages of spiritual growth, the survey revealed, was reading and reflection on Scripture.”
The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork. Day to day pours out speech, and night to night reveals knowledge. There is no speech, nor are there words, whose voice is not heard. Their voice goes out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them he has set a tent for the sun, which comes out like a bridegroom leaving his chamber, and, like a strong man, runs its course with joy. Its rising is from the end of the heavens, and its circuit to the end of them, and there is nothing hidden from its heat. The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple; the precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes; the fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; the rules of the Lord are true, and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb. Moreover, by them is your servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward. Who can discern his errors? Declare me innocent from hidden faults. Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me! Then I shall be blameless, and innocent of great transgression. Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.
5 day reading plan.
Chronological bible reading plan >>
Read through the Bible in the order the events occurred chronologically. (The order in which the events happened)
So for example you would read genesis 1-11, — Adam and Eve, Noah and the flood, tower of babel, and then read the book of job, because job most likely lived before Abraham.
Also, in this plan, you would read the gospel of mark first because it was written before Matthew, Luke, and John.
A Bible Reading Chart
Read through the Bible at your own pace. Use this minimalistic yet beautifully designed chart to track your reading throughout the year.
This might be an option if you aren’t naturally systematic. Or you dont want to read in any particular order.
