But, don't we always get something new out of Scripture every time we open it up? At least, I feel like I do.<br /><br />I guess in my mind the difference between reading through the Bible in a given amount of time (whether it be 90 days or a year or two) and Bible Bowl is that in Bible Bowl I studied the same text for a year. That is why I believe I can return to that part of Scripture, because I went over it again and again and tried to memorize it. But with the reading program; there is no memorizing, no reading over the same passage again and again. <br /><br />I don't know. I know its not bad to read through the Bible in a year. But is it the best way to study? Maybe it stems from the overview you get, the ability to see the big picutre.<br /><br />I agree that not doing it because of wrong motivations would be equally as bad. But what about the feeling of failure you get if you don't accomplish "your goal"?lilkuphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16468435228263972862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13199716.post-66693653239969536652006-12-07T07:53:00.000-06:002006-12-07T07:53:00.000-06:00I think you answered your own question in a way. Y...I think you answered your own question in a way. You said it wasn't until you got older that you were really able to apply what you learned in Bible Bowl. I think the same can apply for your kids...they may not get a lot out of it right away...but as they get older they will have an easier time finding the passage and they'll be able to apply the knowledge that they learned. If reading through the Bible in a year is the only way we can motivate ourselves to read, then I say it doesn't matter what are intentions are...it sure beats the alternative..."my motivations are wrong...so I won't read through it in a year" But what if that wrong motivation leads to something positive. Sorry for the long reply, but I've been thinking about the same thing.Jeremyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05268289351434809081noreply@blogger.com
