Transform Your Bible Reading in 2020 (Free Webinar!)

Lots of people make New Year’s Resolutions…or goals…or plans-of-attack…or fresh starts. Whatever you call it, for Christians at least, “Bible reading” is typically somewhere on the list. Is time in God’s Word on your list? Do you have a plan? (Hint: You need one!)

My desire is to help you start well…so you can sustain a vibrant time with God all year long (ahem…and longer). That’s why I’m hosting a FREE webinar. There are three live options, so pick the one that works for you.

These are some of the questions I’ll answer…

  1. Is it really possible to enjoy the Bible?
  2. How do I keep my mind from wandering?
  3. Why can’t I remember what I read (and how do I fix that)?
  4. What is my routine for the entire year? (Hint: I don’t do the same thing every month.)
  5. What translation do you recommend?
  6. What if I have tried year after year and NEVER been consistent? (This is a biggie!)

Are you in?

3 Mistakes to Avoid When Internalizing the Bible

In the last two weeks, I have taken time to lay out the benefits of internalizing the Bible and the general “how-to” guidelines for internalizing verses, whole chapters, and whole books. Several years ago, when I wrote Falling in Love with God’s Word, I included an entire chapter on what not to do when internalizing. Rather than paraphrase it, I thought I’d just give you the whole chapter (so you can avoid the mistakes I made when I first started internalizing).

NOTE: The rest of this post originally appeared in the chapter “Is There Anything I Shouldn’t Do When I Am Internalizing Scripture?” in my book Falling in Love with God’s Word. [Read more…] about 3 Mistakes to Avoid When Internalizing the Bible

3 Benefits of Internalizing the Bible

This post is Part 1 of a 4-part series on internalization. In case you don’t know what I mean by “internalization,” I use that word instead of “memorization,” because the goal should be to know the Word, not just the words. (wink) Today we’re going to look at the benefits of internalization. After all, there’s no point in jumping into the “how” until you’re convinced of the “why.”

I recently read through the Bible Savvy series by Pastor James Nicodem. One section of one of the four books lays out a few benefits of internalizing. While I’ve been talking about these for a long time, he has put them much more clearly and simply than I have, so here you go…

Internalization Makes the Bible Portable.

When I think of internalization, my mind always goes back to the first chapter of Joshua. Here’s the scene: The Israelites have spent four decades wandering through the desert. Moses has died and the leadership mantle has been passed to Joshua. The people are on the edge of the Jordan river. They are about to cross over and finally – finally! – settle in the Promised Land. First stop – Jericho!

You can think of Joshua 1 as the pre-game pep talk. Check it out… [Read more…] about 3 Benefits of Internalizing the Bible

My Top Posts and Videos from 2018

Another year is nearly in the books. As I pause to look back – and ahead – I am in awe at all that God has done. This has been a busy year! Rather than write anything new, I looked back and grabbed a handful of my top posts and videos. Scan the list and check out something you missed – or revisit something you remember enjoying.
