Harmony of the Gospels — New Series
I’ve been richly blessed over the course of the last 16 months as I read through every verse in the Bible, writing personal insights and immersing myself in God’s word. This has been a great journey, one that I hope others would take. Yes, I had to learn how to get up at 5am each day, rather than my normal (for years) 6am. The prize is worth the price! Do it! Wake up a bit earlier, grab some coffee and talk to the Creator of the Universe through his holy word. Millions of Bibles collect dust each year. Make this the year you commit to hearing from God yourself.
For this new series, I’m using Zondervan’s, “A Harmony of the Gospels” in the NIV Study Bible (pp 1814-1819) as a guide. I started making my own list, then found this insert between the Gospels and Acts. Nice Zondervan!
Whatever method you choose to study the Bible, my encouragement is this: choose a method!
In Christ,
Dave
