Double Dog Dare You

Looking to shake up your spiritual routine a bit or maybe just looking to begin one? Let me double dog dare you to  join me this year as I commit to dig into the Bible and journal what God says to me. I am going to use the Wayne Cordeiro scripture reading plan called Life Journal. For those of you who like to do things a little more old school you can choose to purchase a journal on the previous link or purchase one in the gathering area at Five Stones Church.

I am going to be using the same plan but through one of my favorite sites called YouVersion. Using this electronic version you can choose the reading plan by Wayne Cordeiro and journal, post, share, and tweet all on your computer.  My other favorite part is that I can use it on my iphone at any time. If you choose to go this route my user name is kingme and you can find some of my posts or follow me as I go on this journey. One of the things that I love about this system is that they have a journal that you can purchase for your children to study the Bible alongside of you. That makes it easy to gather together each day or a few times a week and have everyone share what God said to them during their personal time.

Now let me be honest I’m not trying to read the Bible through in a year. While I know some people love to do that, it is not my goal this time around. My goal is to read systematically through my plan and stop when God illuminates a verse for me and then to spend time with God on how to apply that verse into my life.

The plan is simple. It is a systematic way to read through the Bible and record what God says to you personally. Here’s how it works in your journal time. You can also see some of my previous posts to see how this works out.

S – SCRIPTURE: What Scripture or Scriptures stood out to you?
O – OBSERVATION: What stood out to you in the passage?
A – APPLICATION: What does the passage mean to you and what are you going to do about it?
P – PRAYER: Talk to God about what you learned.

Hope to see many of you take the challenge to apply truth and see what God does in your life.
