    Not really a debate thread: What are your plans for Bible reading in 2017?

    I also picked up the Chronological Bible but gave it to a friend after I used it so now I just print out a reading plan that is Chronological and use that with my regular Bible. I LOVED having it all set up in the Bible though so I could just pop in a bookmark and be ready!

    How many books are necessary?

    It is actually a very good book and could be helpful for you. No, it's not a Christian book but it does give some really good advice on learning how to deal with people in social and work situations. I think you could definitely benefit from it. Here is a Christian review of it (although not...

    Not really a debate thread: What are your plans for Bible reading in 2017?

    I'm not Scarlett but I found the chronological reading plan to be amazing - putting things together that should be together like Samuel and Psalms and stuff. Really helped me to understand a lot more of the Old Testament and the New Testament letters.

    How many books are necessary?

    But Evan - You get down on people here when they say they have heard the author speak on the subject of a book and you say that is not good enough and they must read the book. Now you are taking the word of secondary people regarding the contents of a book and saying that is OK? I think you...

    How many books are necessary?

    Or maybe he's quite a bit older than you (sorry TC) and has been collecting books since he was young. Often times pastors receive books from congregants, the church buys books for the library and they often inherit books from other pastors who have retired and are downscaling. It doesn't mean...

    The connection between: Loving Jesus—Obedience—Eternal Life

    Oh that's easy but I will give you the notes and podcast at the end. Have you ever spoken to someone of the Gospel? Have you ever shown them who they really are in light of God's holiness? What has been the result? In some people, there becomes a heart change and they become a child of God...

    Does your church have funeral guidelines?

    RSR - That sounds like my church. The messages at funerals are always wonderful and God honoring and addressing the needs of the congregation there. It's not an easy job but when done well, it is such a blessing to the family.

    Does your church have funeral guidelines?

    Definitely don't want to be legalistic at all but want to help the family during a very stressful and disorienting time. :)

    How many books are necessary?

    I have more books on my Kindle than I will ever read but I still pick them up because at times, it has been good to have them. Hubby has done some sermon series where books that I got (usually for free) were VERY handy (he just used The Sermon on the Mount by Sinclair Fergason) and other times...

    If you knew when you were going to die how would you then live?

    In this past week, a young man of 22 was killed driving home from plowing to make some extra money for Christmas. His truck hit black ice and he died but his older brother survived. The next day, a senior saint in our church passed away. On Christmas day, a man from our yacht club suddenly...

    New Sailing Record

    My husband learned most of his sailing skill from an older couple who he used to crew for on a J-30. They did the Nationals together and they were AMAZING teachers and when they retired from racing, the crew was sad and didn't know what to do. "Bob, you have a sailboat that can race," was the...

    Good Books on Evangelism

    Fantastic little book!! Our senior pastor gave it to all of the pastors at our church and I've read it myself. :) Here it is in free PDF form: http://www.discipleshiplibrary.com/pdfs/aa094.pdf

    Good Books on Evangelism

    Could you tone it down a notch please Evan? Yes, there is totally a way to do that on the iPad. It's called PDF Expert and while it's $10, it is well worth getting. My daughter is a doctoral student in audiology and she has to mark up a LOT of PDFs of articles that are in no other form than...

    The connection between: Loving Jesus—Obedience—Eternal Life

    Interesting but I led my ladies through a VERY thorough study of James and I'm sorry to tell you that we said each and every one of these things that James is speaking of. Of course, it does not read as "if you do this, you will earn eternal life". No, sorry. That is not at all what any of...

    You know, a PDF can be imported to iBooks. https://support.apple.com/kb/PH19418?locale=en_US&viewlocale=en_US I do that all the time because there are some great old books that are not available in e-reader format but are in PDF like this book. I just import and I'm all set!

    Not really a debate thread: What are your plans for Bible reading in 2017?

    I've done it a few times but it's been more of a "read through the Bible in 18 months". LOL There are definitely days I don't read my Bible even though I know I should. So I tend to get a little behind but I'm thinking a 5 day plan might be better to give me 2 days to "catch up" each week...

    Not really a debate thread: What are your plans for Bible reading in 2017?

    I'm trying to figure out if I want to read through the Bible again this year (I have a 5 day reading plan which works much better for me) or if I want to dig down deep into one book and I figured I'd see what everyone else is doing!
