Finally, after being a follower of Jesus Christ since 1981, I am happy (and ashamed) to admit that as of yesterday, I have read through every book of the Bible. All of my reading previously have been sporadic and topical in nature.
So, what's the next focus? I have two goals :
(1) Going through the "Fighter Verses" scripture memory program with my family.
(2) Personal meditation through the Book of Proverbs till end of the year to assist in the writing of my long procrastinated book!
The focus right now is on memorizing & meditation rather than just reading.
It's wonderful to have families coming together to re-affirm our commitment to the Bible as the authoritative source for all areas of life and to reflect upon the dangers of being led astray by worldly, humanistic philosophies. Since most of our children are aged 12 and below, we see this as critical window for building strong foundations in the next generation - but it begins with the parents first. At the end of our session together, we walked away with the conviction that if we as Bible-believing parents do not provide ANSWERS which are based on Scripture as our starting point, then our children will be blown to-and-fro by any and every fancy worldview that comes along. I am thankful for this group of parents who are committed to teaching a Biblical Worldview to the next generation!
