Connected churches. Great books. Knowledgeable and talented preachers and speakers. These are all wonderful in the life of a Christian.  But at the core of all of these should be the Bible.

The Bible is the recorded word of God given to us.  It is the canon, or standard, against which all these churches, books, and teachers are to be measured. It is the source of truth. The best way to understand God and His relation to us and the world is to study scripture.

With just under three weeks until the start of 2024, I wanted to take the time to remind you of The Bible Recap.  The Bible Recap is a great “Bible-In-A-Year” program that doesn’t just have you read the word of God, but provide you with an accompanying podcast and other tools to help you understand what you are reading.  I wrote about this plan earlier this year and I encourage you to check out that article to find out more.

At the end of that article, I mentioned I wanted to go through the Recap again.   This upcoming year is that time, and I wanted to invite all my readers to join me. If you are interested, here are a few things you can do to prepare:

First, visit the Bible Recap website.  Specifically, read their “Start” page.  There you will find information about what reading plan will be followed, where to find the accompanying podcast, and what apps you can use to follow the plan digitally.  Furthermore, you will find several “Prep” episodes to listen through to get ready for your journey which will begin on Jan. 1^st (or whenever you are ready).

Second, if there is any interest, I am planning to host a Bible Recap group on the Bible App, one of the suggested apps.  As a group, anyone who participates will have the opportunity to share thoughts and encourage the members of the group as they read through God’s Word together.  If you want to know more or are interested in joining the group, please email me through the website at terrence@half-air.com.  Unfortunately, you need an invite to join, but I will be glad to send you one if you request it.

This past year I have read through several good devotional plans, listened to some of the best sermon series I have ever heard, and read informative books and articles.  Still, I am missing the daily time in scripture that I experienced in 2022. I am looking forward to that in the upcoming year, and I hope you will consider experiencing it as well.  Maybe we will go through it together.
