Read and study the bible in a year with us.
The scriptures are alive and will impact your personal life. There are several reasons why this is important.
One, it allows you to prioritize and build the discipline of making time to be with the Lord.
Two, you are able to understand the means through which God speaks to his people.
Three, you are able to set a good example for others to follow.
Some people like to read so many Bible chapters every day. I would not dissuade them from the practice, but I would rather lay my soul asoak in half a dozen verses all day than rinse my hand in several chapters. Oh, to be bathed in a text of Scripture, and to let it be sucked up in your very soul, till it saturates your heart!
Charles Spurgeon
Four, you build a knowledge base and a spiritual one, as a reference point for later years, and deeper places in the will of God.
Five, you are able to find renewal, and strength in the rich words of the scriptures.
Six, It is a place to find daily insight and direction in a chaotic world.
Finally, it cleanses the whole man and trains the conscience to be sensitive to the will of God.
The scripture is the blueprint given to the natural man to walk with God. Too little of the scripture and you will be pretty much groping about in the dark concerning the will of God.

All this and more, you will be able to experience as you read and study more of the bible.
