Day 0: 90-Day Bible Challenge

Intro:
For those of you that haven’t heard yet, my young adult group is participating in the 90-Day Bible challenge. What that consist of is this: reading “The Bible in 90 Days”
http://biblein90days.com/index.php?option=com_product&task=viewProd&id=102

This is a Bible that is designed if you only reading 12 pages a day (and the font is actually pretty large, so no small words crammed onto the page), then you will read through the Bible cover-to-cover in 90 days! That isn’t bad at all!
In addition to reading the Bible on your own, we have also set up weekly small group meeting for you to get together with other young adults for a time of discussion and encouragement.

Format

Today’s reading: 2 Kings 22:8-23:25

A thought or two:
Josiah was in a predicament that many of us in our culture might be quite familiar with, and that is Biblical ignorance. Now his ignorance was not totally his fault, because the generation that preceded him did not pass it on the knowledge of God to him, however God was still going to hold him and all of Israel responsible for breaking their covenant with God!

After the “The Book of the Law” (the Bible) was found and Josiah heard the truth for the first time and he responded immediately! His first response was personal repentance. Secondly he made sure everyone else knew the truth as well. And thirdly, the consequence of the promotion of truth created a reformation in his generation!

I believe that many of you will have a Josiah like experience during the 90 Day Challenge! Many of you will read the Word of God and think to yourself, “I didn’t know the Bible said that”, “why has no one ever told me these things” or “I have thought wrongly about God and I need to get to know Him better”. Your personal challenge is going to overflow into the areas of your world that you influence. Others will now begin to hear truth from God’s Word from you and for themselves!

During this 90-Day Bible challenge there are weekly small group meeting designed for your encouragement, on the 1st and 3rd Monday of every month Movement will have a large group worship service in the Daily Grind to inspire your relationship with God, daily I will be blogging (on Facebook and Blogger) and tweeting thoughts that are inspired from our daily reading, and more importantly than ALL of that, you will have a focused and powerful alone time with God on a daily basis!

Tomorrow’s reading:
Genesis 1:1- Genesis16:16
