Many people struggle to read the Bible because of the sheer daunting task of finishing such a large book. It can feel like an incredible amount of work for so little an accomplishment.
“So long, a year or more, just to finish 1 book?”

However, the Bible isn’t a book. The word “Bible” that we use comes from the Latin plural word “biblia”, meaning books or a collection of texts. The Bible isn’t a book, it’s a library. If you read the Bible in a year, that means that in one year’s time you have read 66 books. Thats more than a book per week. That’s quite a feat.

Be excited to study God’s Holy Word by relishing in the accomplishments of finishing the individual books, even large sections of these books, and in no time you’ll have read an entire library.

Then you’ll notice that as you read, the words of God change your heart. You’ll discover wisdom not found in any other texts. You’ll discover Christ in every book. If you’re not saved, you’ll come to the knowledge of the Gospel that saves. If you are saved, you’ll grow in this Gospel and be sanctified in Christ. You’ll discover this library is alive and fills you with this life. God’s Word is sufficient, if only we’ll take the time to consume it.

Jeremiah 15:16
“Your words were found and I ate them, And Your words became for me a joy and the delight of my heart; For I have been called by Your name, O Lord God of hosts. “

Romans 15:4
“For whatever was written in earlier times was written for our instruction, so that through perseverance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.”

Psalm 119:68 — “You are good and do good; Teach me Your statutes.”

Deuteronomy 32:4 — “The Rock! His work is perfect, For all His ways are just; A God of faithfulness and without injustice, Righteous and upright is He.”

Psalm 145:17 — “The LORD is righteous in all His ways And kind in all His deeds.”

Mark 7:37 — “They were utterly astonished, saying, ‘He has done all things well; He makes even the deaf to hear and the mute to speak.’”

While it would be really cool if this did turn out to be Noah’s Ark, creation itself declares that there is a God.

“For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse.” -Romans 1:18–20

Goodmorning everyone! (Yes, even those that don’t agree with scripture being the final authority in matters of the Gospel and Christian living.)

May the Lord bless you anyway and His mercies shine down upon you.

“How blessed are those who observe His testimonies,
Who seek Him with all their heart.” - Psalm 119:2

Just a quick book recommendation:

If yall are interested in church history and would like a detailed, encompassing, captivating, and well cited book that reveals church history, I strongly recommend this and his second book “The Story of Christianity: the Reformation to the Present Day.” He’s also got another great volume called “Worship in the Early Church.”
If you’re interested in learning why we believe and practice what we believe and practice as Christians, I strongly recommend you checking these books out.

Perhaps you’ve been told that “Sola Scriptura” is not in the Bible, or perhaps that 2 Timothy 3:16 is vague and insufficient.

Please feel free to copy these scriptures below and save them to your device. Study them out and pay attention to how God speaks about His word. Then, see if He speaks the same way about feelings, emotions, experience, or traditions.
