The new trend in reader’s bibles without verse numbers, notes, headings, etc. is a great trend. I started reading 30 minutes in the morning a few months ago, and it helps connect to the story of scripture emotionally. When I study, I don’t often laugh, cry, get angry. But when I read I do. This is great advice I wish I’d learned decades ago.
This was good. The analogy of studying/discussing a movie without having watched it was so illustrative and really helpful clarify your point, thank you😊
@keithferrin yes, it was the simplicity of reading vs study. Know the book before you try to understand one section in it, so simple, so relevant. Thanks 😊

i decided to use my kindle as a reading bible. i make too many notes in physical bibles and can’t help going into study mode. Would you recommend an outreach paperback or gift bible as a good reading bible?
Yes! I see so many Bible-in-a-year reading plans, especially at this time of the year. People want to do it. They set out to do it, but then they “get behind”, feel defeated, and quit altogether. I’d rather just let it take however long it takes.
I think you might be missing my point. I'm not putting a timeframe on how long you should read. I'm trying to put a timeframe on how short is "too short" for you to really understand. Reading for 3 minutes a day will never lead to consistency and transformation. However, reading for 15 minutes (or 90!) will! I agree. We're all different in our reading speeds and abilities.
I totally agree with Keith. Setting a time to read your bible is a lot less restrictive than following a plan. If you miss a day of a plan, you have double the amount to read the next day. If you miss a day on your reading day, you just pick up where you left off when you next read, and no pressure.
I haven't watched the video yet, but the way I think about it is... 😀
* Bible reading to see the forest.
* Bible study to see the trees.
I like it. Spot on!

Thanks Rob. You and me both! That's one of the reasons I speak to students any chance I get! :)

Thanks! That's the "light bulb moment" analogy for so many people. (Including me when God showed it to me 25 years ago!)
@ you mentioned a chronological Bible or a chronological reading plan? I am interested in reading the Bible chronologically
@@ewetoob137 Great! Here's a video I did on that th-cam.com/video/8IAj6KNuzXg/w-d-xo.html Enjoy!
@@keithferrin thank you so much!
@ You're welcome!
Great points. Great video. I liked your movie analogy
Thanks! The "movie analogy" is probably the one I get the most "a-ha" comments about. I use it all the time. :)
Good one 👍
Glad you liked it! Did you have an "a-ha" moment?

For sure. A lot of those outreach/gift Bibles have very few notes, so they make great reading Bibles!
Stop, quit putting a time fram on reading, your a good reader I'm not. Just read it and use the time needed.
You’re
