"THESE WERE MORE NOBLE THAN THOSE IN THESSALONICA, IN THAT THEY RECEIVED THE WORD WITH ALL READINESS OF MIND, AND SEARCHED THE SCRIPTURES DAILY, WHETHER THOSE THINGS WERE SO." (ACTS 17:11)
Bible Reading Plan
Free Audio Bible
Picture
Many churches have a Bible reading plan to help you finish reading through the bible in the course of one year. Our desire is not to limit our reading of God's Word, but to maximize it, to crave it, to desire it over TV, smartphones, and other distractions that have no eternal value. 

We realize that this mindset is counter to culture and even foreign to most people. We advocate listening to God's word via Audio Bible in your home, while you drive to and from destinations, and when possible to do so at your job (your assignment from God).

Jesus said that His words provide fullness of joy. We recognize that hearing God's word WORKS ALWAYS, even if it isn't felt or perceived, because feelings lie. Get as much as you can, as often as you can, and in any way you can... for then it will serve to influence every area of your life, and like Joshua, God will cause your way to prosper according to His will for your life. 

We know that when we heed the Psalmist that God's word helps us to avoid sin. "Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee." Ps 119:11.
"The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul; the decrees of the Lord are sure, making wise the simple; the precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the Lord is clear, enlightening the eyes; the fear of the Lord is pure, enduring forever; the ordinances of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey, and drippings of the honeycomb. Moreover by them is your servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward." (Psalms 19:7–11) ​
