DISCLAIMER - Today is the third of "ten days" where some people, including myself, are going to try and read through the whole Bible where we hit the 'highlights' in a sense. The third "day" (I guess I should say time period) is scheduled below. This is just a post so we can have a discussion group on the comments section. Everyone feel free to join the discussion at ANYTIME and about ANYTHING (small or big) in the reading.
1 Kings 3, 6-12
1 Kings 17-19, 21
2 Kings 1-2, 6-7, 11-12

Yikes! I know almost nothing about these 4 books... It is funny, I am at the same time both afraid of this reading session to be a trip through Yawnsville and wondering if a thought like that makes any sense if this book indeed contains the very word of God... hhmmmmm.......... Here is to not judging a book by its cover and actually trusting God that He knows what He is doing.....

Reading - Day 2
DISCLAIMER - Today is the second of "ten days" where some people, including myself, are going to try and read through the whole Bible where we hit the 'highlights' in a sense. The second day is scheduled below. This is just a post so we can have a discussion group on the comments section. Everyone feel free to join the discussion at ANYTIME.
Let's stretch this second day into 2. That was a lot of reading last night and it made a bit tired. This can also be so anyone at anytime can join the "discussion". I will try to put out more questions this time around than points.

The walls of Jericho go tumblin down by the sound of the Israeli band... I know Ruth's story... I know there was a judge named Gideon and there was a lady judge... I know Samuel was important.... but other than that there is not much else I know before hand about this section in the Bible. This shall be very interesting.

reading
DISCLAIMER - Today is the first of ten days where some people, including myself, are going to try and read through the whole Bible where we hit the 'highlights' in a sense. The first five days are scheduled below. This is just a post so we can have a discussion group on the comments section.
To begin with, here is a general invitation to anyone who would like to join us at anytime, describing what we are trying to do.
Hi everybody. I have wanted to do this for quite sometime and thought today was a better day then ever to start. I have never read the Bible all of the way before, but am dieing to read it through to understand the arching story of the Bible better. To begin the journey, I am planning to go through the Bible first by hitting the 'highlights' I suppose, in 10 days. The plan is below. This I feel can give me at least a very general sense of the story line. I would be more inclined to actually do this if people actually did it with me. The more the better. I hope this can jump start a fire to burn in us for what's in that book. The very act in itself of course will not do it, but stepping out is the first thing, at times, to do before the Spirit takes a hold of you. 10 days to wet our appetites for a life time in the scriptures and a life desiring God... only by His help. only at the point in which He decides... Feel free to join the discussion that will start today in the comments section.
I think this section in John is relevant as we start in Genesis today:
John 5:39-47 - 39 “You search the Scriptures because you think they give you eternal life. But the Scriptures point to me! 40 Yet you refuse to come to me to receive this life. 41 “Your approval means nothing to me, 42 because I know you don’t have God’s love within you. 43 For I have come to you in my Father’s name, and you have rejected me. Yet if others come in their own name, you gladly welcome them. 44 No wonder you can’t believe! For you gladly honor each other, but you don’t care about the honor that comes from the one who alone is God.e]">[e] 45 “Yet it isn’t I who will accuse you before the Father. Moses will accuse you! Yes, Moses, in whom you put your hopes. 46 If you really believed Moses, you would believe me, because he wrote about me. 47 But since you don’t believe what he wrote, how will you believe what I say?”
and this one in James because reading the Bible does not allow us to just check off our God box for the week, as we read I pray that God will inflame us with what he has in store for us in our actual lives...
James 2:21-24
21 Don’t you remember that our ancestor Abraham was shown to be right with God by his actions when he offered his son Isaac on the altar? 22 You see, his faith and his actions worked together. His actions made his faith complete. 23 And so it happened just as the Scriptures say: “Abraham believed God, and God counted him as righteous because of his faith.”g]">[g] He was even called the friend of God.h]">[h] 24 So you see, we are shown to be right with God by what we do, not by faith alone.
