----------------> tryReadNit: How can I begin my journey thru Bible? Some ideas here.

Read Gods Word in context!

**posts temporarily removed - will be back soon **Welcome to my : "this really isn't a blog is it? I named it tryreadNit..

All opinions on books, videos & links are my own and receive no compensation for any reviews.

So, how do we know if we are reading the Bible properly? If whenever your reading the Bible and it bothers you and troubles you and sometimes even makes you angry, chances are your beginning to understand it. Hang in there with reading it because the Bible is filled with amazing blessings but to get to them we must travel through some muddy waters.

I guess I began wondering if there were other Christians raised in the church who one day realized decades later that they never really read the Bible . They have no clue what it says. They only know what someone else told them it says.
A funny thing happens when you read Gods Word as it was meant to be read. In context from beginning to end. Cover to cover. You soon discover that what you were told doesn't square with what it actually says.

This blog chronicles my journey from when my eyes began to open since my first time thru the Bible. I examine how so many passages of scripture get twisted to fit someone's agenda. I talk a lot about "context." Quite often I sound critical and judgmental. This cannot be avoided. My goal is to promote discernment. My goal is to encourage others to research what the read and listen to . So many believers have no idea why they believe what they do.
The main idea of this blog is context. Read Gods Word as a book. Not rocket science. It will take some time. It wont happen over night. Comparing what we "thought" the Bible says to what it "actually" says can be frustrating but the blessing of understanding Gods Word in context is worth the effort.
Acts 17:11b

I recently purchased a chronological Bible that I truly love and I think it could help those who struggle reading the Bible .

When a believer senses that something is just not quite right , that is a good time to read or listen to the Bible thru. I found that many believers want to at least read it once in their lives. These days its not that hard to find Bible audio but knowing which ones to trust is not always so easy.. I have researched and compared countless links and videos and have found only a few that I can trust and I will include them here. It helps to put these on your own devices and listen at your leisure .
Any desire to read and or listen to Gods Word is not a thought of your own. Only God can put that desire in ones heart. Pray before doing anything and that prayer should sound something like this...…."Help!!!!!!" and God will answer that prayer.

1 ) The Bible project it doesn't get much easier than this. This is designed to stir ones heart to know more.

4) Calvary chapel teaches thru the Bible verse by verse. My favorites are Calvary chapel of Philadelphia ( Joe Focht) & Calvary chapel of Santa Barbara (David Guzik) two men who are faithful to the entire context of the Bible.
