Read the Bible Aloud
Some of the most fun I've had in my Bible study time has been sustained periods of shouting God's Word aloud. Throughout Scripture God calls His people to response and action, and often a spoken word is the simplest form of response. Putting God's Word in your mouth and ears may be the most effective way of placing it within your heart.

Moleskine Notebook Bible
Create an interleaved Bible by pasting alternating pages from old abused paperback editions into a large plain notebook. With a little ingenuity and some old Bibles and some household items you can have a study tool similar to Jonathan Edward's blank Bible.

Creating Cross References
One of the most common ways to take notes in your Bible is to create your own cross-references in the margins, linking verses that interpret and illuminate each other. Often the process and order of creating these cross references leads to new revelation as topics connect and diverge, one theme leads to another and the relationship between topics in the Word often brings light.

Newsletters
My monthly newsletter articles feature the fruits of study and obedience to fulfill God's call as an urban missionary in the Metro Detroit area. The newsletter posts feature the opening article and a link to the full newsletter and to old newsletters. The articles focus on discovering intimacy and passion on the urban mission field and in Muslim Ministry.

Christ's Commands: Amplified Bible
This highlighting project didn't start out with a complex color scheme, but grew from the desire to focus on a single subject. Jesus makes an unequivocal statement in John 14:15 that constantly challenged me as a young believer and continues to stir me and burn me today: "If you love me you will keep my commandments."p>

It also features the books of the Bible in individual documents so you can print an individual book to look at. Perhaps the most obvious use of this resource is the creation of an interleaf Bible.p>

Dr. Grant Horner's Bible Reading Plan
One of the most highly recommended and unique Bible reading plans comes from a Professor of literature, theology and philosophy from the Master's College in California, Dr. Grant Horner. I've heard about this plan for sometime and finally had the opportunity to check it out for myself. Dr. Horner's plan is highly developed and designed to create maximum retention. The plan organizes the Bible into ten sections and organizes readings in each section. I have not tried this plan, but Dr. Horner's suggestions on reading are very astute, and I have utilized similar methods in the past. The basic design of the plan can be adapted to create a your own personal plan: simply create your own lists and attack the Bible the Horner way. You can get PDF files of Horner's lists here. Enjoy the article below.

I have been using this system for about 45 days and I love it. There are some days I can't get the 10 chapters done and I just keep going in the cycle. As kind of a Bible (the book itself) junky the recommendation to use one Bible and not hop around was a challenge. Since I have a 1967 Scofield Reference Bible (the one Dr Horner uses) and I had been wanting (after 30 years) to try the KJV again in honor of the 400 anniversary, I selected this one.
ReplyDeleteHI! A dear friend and sister-in-Christ shared this Bible reading idea with me just this morning! When I googled it, YOUR blog came up.
ReplyDeleteThanks for providing the thorough information for me and others along with the bookmarks to keep us organized...My friend said she had been reading through the system since January 2010 and she is hooked on the Bible more than ever before!
I will start the reading plan TODAY!!!
This one certainly looks interesting. It gets around the weaknesses of many plans, in that at no point are you required to read ten chapters of Leviticus or 1Chronicles in a day. The question now is whether I want to surgically add seven more ribbons to my Bible. ;)
ReplyDeleteThat's what the bookmarks at the end of the article are for Chris.
ReplyDeleteI may try this for my Holman read through
ReplyDelete@Jonathan -- I saw the bookmarks (they're in my Bible now, as a matter of fact), but I just like ribbons. ;)
ReplyDeleteI've used this system for 51 days now and it's totally amazing... I feel like it has a flushing effect on me. flushes out the scum in my big head.. I bless the name of the LORD..
ReplyDeleteJust starting it and am very excited!!
