What this blog is about and what I hope it does...

I hope this will be a simple fun tool for us to grow in our understanding and surrender to God through the Bible as we connect over the web. Reading the Bible is both simple and difficult. What could be easier than opening a book and reading? Yet we've all done that and wondered what sections of the Bible mean? What's with the book of Leviticus? What is Revelation really about? Is the Song of Songs about marital love or is it supposed to be more 'spiritual' than that?

So, my intent is for this blog to be a tool that helps us in our faith. A forum for better understanding. An honest place of sharing that nurtures us as we follow Jesus together.

(There are a few resources I have included under "PAGES" that may be a helpful start, especially to those newer to reading the Bible. It's located just below this and to the right. Also included is a READING OUTLINE. If you miss a day, go on to the next rather than trying to catch up.)

ONE LAST NOTE: you don't have to join or set up an account to share comments. Just click 'comment' at the bottom of a post, click the drop down and click 'anonymous.' Then write your post and if you want sign it with your first name and finish by clicking 'Post comment.' I would love to hear your thoughts.

Looks like Hebrews!

Our next read for the online Bible reading group will be the New Testament book of Hebrews. As requested, we'll slow the pace to maybe 3 readings a week. Anyone can take part any time...no need to join anything. Read Scriptures, posts, make or just read comments/questions. Stay connected. We'll start Hebrews Thursday.

Interesting tidbits: we've had readers from 9 different countries and all 50 states; the highest read post was "1 Peter in One Sitting" found here http://togetherinthebible.blogspot.com/2010/09/1-peter-in-one-sitting.html

Look forward to reading Hebrews with you and sharing our thoughts about how to live it out!

Matt
