How Do You Go About Reading Your Bible? Do You Set A Goal Such As Reading The Bible All The Way Through Every?

Our church goes thru the Bible Word by Word, line by line, Book by Book.
Plus daily devotionals like:
Spurgeon, C. H. (2006). Morning and evening : Daily readings (Complete and unabridged; New modern edition.). Peabody, MA: Hendrickson Publishers.
Chambers, O. (1993, c1935). My utmost for his highest : Selections for the year. Grand Rapids, MI: Discovery House Publishers.
Federer, B. (2003). American minute. St. Louis, MO.: Amerisearch, Inc.

Personally I spend a few hours daily studying the Bible, but since it is generally topical study, I make sure to get in my regular Bible reading as well.
When I turned 40 a few years ago, I established a plan to read read three chapters of Old Testament, one chapter of Proverbs, and three chapters of the New Testament every day, five days a week. (Any five days.)
By so doing, I will have read through the OT 40 times, the NT 120 times, and Proverbs 1200 times, by the time I am 80.

Sometimes I spend a little time each day for a whole week study just a few passages. Other times, it might be a chapter a day. I go in to the cross references as well as study notes and the bible handbook.
There is nothing wrong with setting a goal…I was happy to have finally read the entire New Testament. Now I’m going back with ” a fine toothed comb.”

My wife and I are currently studying Proverbs. Proverbs is all about Wisdom. We are using the Life Application Study Bible (NLT). It’s got all sorts of notes, commentaries, charts, cross references, etc.

I think you should start with ;1 corinthians 14:34-35 “Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law.
35 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.”

I read as the Lord guides me and I read for understanding not to acomplish a goal..I have read through the Bible many times and I have no idea if I have read it all or how many times I have read it.

Study on tapes due to handicap.
I have a “Non-resident” Church.
study from original languages
Bible lines up with beliefs that my family
has handed down generation to generation
from the beginning of time.

It’s good that you want to set that kind of goal. Usually I read chapters and sections that have to do what I learn at Sunday School or Youth Group. I am able to understand them more that way.

I attend Bible Studies. But I am also on a constant one year program to read my entire Study Bible. I have done so twenty times now and I am still learning new stuff.

any way that fits you i go to http://www.familyraido.com/worldwide and go to archives and Reading fellowship download archives click chapter- vs

It is an individual work that changes for each person.

I read it from cover to cover…after which I became an atheist…

I’ve read it all the way through, and I took lots of Bible classes in childhood, and so I realize there is no god.
.

So, you’ve read it cover to cover, and you’re still a Christian? Wow!

hi ‘
have you ever heared about (Gospel of Barnabas) ? just take a look. god bless you

no im surprised u do. maybe your more religous?

Dear Church Lady,
For the past several years I’ve been reading God’s Word from Genesis to Revelation each year. I’ve used many different Bibles (translations and formats) to keep me on track.
Years ago, reading Kings and Chronicles, I started wondering if the Israelites were getting any messages from God. When I got to Isaiah I got my answer, they were indeed getting guidance from God. I started thinking that it sure would be nice to read the Prophets right along with the appropriate history.
One of my Bibles gave a chronology which I used in my reading but before long I realized that the chronology pertained to WHEN the material was written not when the events happened. I eventually found The Daily Bible in Chronological Order which I read.
The Bible I’ve read most is The Daily Walk Bible and it is what I’ve been reading in 2008. I’ve given many copies to friends, family members, friends of family members and people at church and I tell them that I’ll be reading along with them and if they have any questions, I’ll be glad to share with them the extra material I’ve gathered through the years.
Depending on the questions people ask me I use devotions from great authors like Charles Spurgeon, Oswald Chambers, A.W. Tozer, A.B. Simpson and Martyn Lloyd-Jones. I also use various commentaries, including Matthew Henry’s, and other Bible helps.
I’m currently reading the Bible with a college sophomore from my church and because she doesn’t have much time we aren’t moving very fast. But that is fine with me because I’m having a great time researching her questions.
You have a wonderful desire and I pray that the Lord will bless your reading and understanding. No matter what method I use, I always learn new things.
Edit:
As I walked these past two days I pondered 2 things: 1) your question about setting a goal for Bible reading and 2) is there a spiritual significance to the fact that many areas of the U.S. don’t have any acorns this year. I didn’t see a single one as I walked but in previous years I had to be careful not to twist my ankle stepping on one.
That helped me to see that my main goal in my Bible reading is to get to know the LORD better and draw nearer to Him.
For His glory,
JOYfilled but missing Schneb
