My Bible Journey

Hello, I'm Mark.  Welcome to my Bible Journey! 



               I plan to read the Bible one book at a time, one chapter at a time, and one verse at a time from the Book of Genesis all the way through to the Book of Revelation.  Along the way I will summarize what I read, write down verses that pique my interest, and jot down thoughts and reflections about the Bible passage.  I don't know how long this journey will take or where this journey will take me.  I look forward to the journey and what God has in store for me and you!  I pray that I grow closer to the Lord, learn more about the scriptures,and share with other people that are interested in learning more about God's holy inspired Word.

               Listed below are the books in the Bible.  I will start at the beginning in the book of Genesis, work my way through the Old Testament, and read the new Testament, concluding my journey in the book of Revelation.  The journey does not stop here.  The journey is ongoing, as it is imperative to pass this information and wisdom down from generation to generation.  I am here for a moment; for a glimpse in time.  For my short journey upon this Earth may God light my path and be the wind in my sails that leads me and guides me.  God's will for our life is found in the Bible.  We just have to devote some of our time and listen.  I believe God will show us the way.  After all, God didn't create us to be blind.  So, why did God create us in the first place?  What are we here for?  Do we have a purpose on Earth?  Let's find out in this journey through the Bible!

Check out my good friend's, Nancy Johanna Binuya, blog. She is undertaking a daily Bible reading challenge in her faith journey. We are both reading the Bible in tandem and sharing our thoughts and reflections with each other and for the rest of you to see. Check her awesome blog out when you get a chance: https://dailybiblereadingchallenge.blogspot.com/

On this Bible Journey I will be reading the Bible and 'Thru the Bible with J. Vernon McGee.'  Many thoughts and ideas come from Mr. McGee's volumes on the Bible.  'Thru the Bible with J. Vernon McGee' is a tremendous resource and I suggest you check it out when you get the chance.
