  • What’s the Best Way To Do This?

    What’s the Best Way To Do This?

    Like most things, the answer is “it depends.”

    In addition to asking which version is best or which one they should read, people also ask whether it matters if they listen to an audiobook or read it themselves. Which is better?

    My answer is simple. Whatever you will actually do is what’s best.

    Some people do great listening in the car on the way to work. That doesn’t work well for me. My mind drifts to other things before I know it.

    Other people need to read. Their brain engages better that way. That doesn’t work especially well for me either. My mind still wanders, and it seems to get worse the older I get.

    What I’ve been doing lately and it seems to work good for me is to listen to an audio version, while also reading along with the text. For whatever reason it keeps me focused and less prone to distraction.

    So the answer is do whatever works for you, as long as you’re doing something. Try it a few different ways and see what actually holds your attention.

    Just keep going.

  • Read Now. Worry About Expertise Later.

    Read Now. Worry About Expertise Later.

    You don’t have to settle everything before you start.

    If you spend any time looking at stuff like this, people are always arguing over which Bible version is best. Or which one is most true. Or which one is closest to the real thing.

    A lot of them also insinuate that any discrepancies or differences are evidence of a conspiracy to hide the truth from people.

    Maybe they are. I don’t really know enough to say. But if you believe in an Almighty God and that the Bible is His book, it’s probably safe to say He wouldn’t let the truth stay hidden forever.

    If you’re actually looking for the truth, I’d bet He will find a way to make sure you get it. So keep reading. Keep looking. Let Him worry about that part.

    You can think about it the same way some people talk about guns.

    If you spend any time comparing guns online, you’ll see people arguing about stopping power and insisting that owning certain guns is a waste of time because they’re inferior to their favorite.

    But here’s the thing. What actually matters is whether it fits your hand and whether you will carry it. If it’s too bulky or too big for your hand, you’ll probably leave it at home. And a gun sitting at home is worth zero if you actually need it. Compared to the “inferior” gun you will carry.

    Same idea here.

    Even if a translation isn’t “ideal” in some abstract sense, it might be ideal for you. And that counts for a lot.

    If you stick with this, you’re going to read the Bible once a year. Every year. You’re not locked into one version for life. Read one this year. Try a different one next year.

    You might like it better. You might not. You may not even notice much difference.

    Decide for yourself. Pick one you will actually read.

    You can access plenty of translations electronically at no cost. Skip around. Try different ones.

    Just keep reading.

  • Readings for 12/21 – 12/27

    Here’s the final set of weekly readings, taking you to the end of the Bible!

    As always, read the chapter of Proverbs corresponding to the date.

    Then read the other chapters as broken down, I have them listed on Sunday-Wednesday but you can be flexible with that and do it as time allows.

    The weekly readings themselves will start back up Sunday, January 4th. In the interim there will still be the daily Proverb readings, hopefully that keeps you in the habit of reading.

    Enjoy!

  • Spoiler Alert: The Last Word Is Amen

    Spoiler Alert: The Last Word Is Amen

    When I was in elementary school, we had to do book reports on books we checked out of the library.

    Yes, I’m old enough to remember when people read actual books.

    I remember one of my friends telling me that whenever he got a new book, he would read the last page first. That always struck me as odd, though I’ve since learned it’s more common than people admit.

    Kind of like reading the Bible.

    People who actually do it usually don’t make a big deal about it.
    And people who make a big deal about it often don’t do much reading.

    I thought about that this week because this Sunday marks the final readings of the year. We’ll finish Revelation. The last page.

    Amen.

    So if you haven’t signed up yet but have been thinking about it, this is actually a good moment to start. Read the ending, then start fresh in January.

    And if you’re not a “read the last page first” person, I’d still suggest not waiting until January to sign up. Life has a habit of getting in the way.

    Things you fully intend to do later have a way of slipping by.

    It doesn’t cost anything to join.

    So if you’re planning to start next year anyway, you might as well sign up now and remove the friction.
