Most times we only read a Bible verse here and a passage there.
Somehow we don't make a clear effort to read the entire Bible.
Some of us may begin from the very beginning, i.e. Genesis.
We will often make it to Exodus.
But then we will get confused in Leviticus, get discouraged in Numbers and then finally give up in Deuteronomy.
This problem is universal because we often do not get any guidance when we read the Bible.
The books in the Bible were written thousands of years ago, featuring people, customs, places and circumstances which are quite alien to us now.
We do not understand the culture and context and situation the biblical stories were set in, that's why we easily get lost and become disinterested.
Project 'oNe thirTy' seeks to guide you through the Word of God in a more relate-able way.
First and foremost, we need to remember that the Bible is God's Word for us. The Scriptures is our Father's love letter to His people. Within it contains the wisdom, teaching, guidance, inspiration and encouragement.
Even more importantly, the Bible revealed God's awesome love for us. His love for us is personified in the person of His Son, Jesus Christ, who executed the most daring rescue mission ever.
Why not read and discover for yourself the whole story of God's lovingkindness.
We're starting with the NT because it is more easily digested (only 260 chapters), and that it is more directly relevant for us.
My prayer is that you would take up this invitation to read the NT, not for gaining knowledges' sake, but as a start to a life-long habit of encountering the Lord of the universe daily.
This blog will complement the daily readings by:
a) providing some background info and context on the readings
b) explain some difficult words and passages
c) sharing some questions to ponder
On your part, you can shoot questions and comments my way through the this blog.
Any digital shouts of praise to God are also welcomed!
