We are getting ready for our Bible in 90 Day journey! Remember to order your Bibles now to be ready.
MCC-DC is embarking on its 5th journey in reading
the Bible in 90 Days. For those taking
this journey, this experience will open the Bible up in a way that is different
than other Bible studies. The goal is to
read every word of the Bible from beginning to end – without skipping.
How is this helpful? In traditional Bible studies, sermons, and
workshops, participants delve deeper into the meaning of specific passages,
stories or themes. Reading the entire
Bible cover-to-cover, provides context to all of this. Seeing the progression
of the stories as they unfold, reading about people in the Bible who may
rarely, if ever, be the subject of a sermon or Bible study, opens a new
perspective on the meaning of Biblical stories and passages and can open a new
perspective and relationship with God.
All participants are strongly encouraged to order the
official Bible in 90 Days Bible. The
Bible is especially formatted to be 12-pages of reading a day. We have found participants are more likely to
complete the journey with this Bible.
This Bible can also be purchased as an eBook or audiobook.
Some key tips:
Get into a Routine -- Find a time each day (morning, lunch, night), to complete
the daily reading – get into a routine.
The hardest time is usually the first week, but once you get into a
routine and see how fast and far you are moving, it will become easier.
DO NOT SKIP – Do not skip anything. You do not want to get to the end and say you
read everything, except… There may be
hard names and words but you are reading to yourself so do not stress. Even if you fall behind, do not skip
ahead. Try to find extra time to catch
up or add a few pages a day to your reading until you are caught up.
DO NOT LINGER – Do not fall into the trap of lingering. Yes there will be times you want to reflect,
research or meditate on a particular story or passage. If this happens, take note and finish the
reading for the day first and, if you have time, go back.
Attend weekly meetings – whether in person or by phone, try
to attend the weekly meetings. These are
opportunities for everyone to share their questions and thoughts and also help
to encourage one another in the reading.
Don’t Stress – just read.
