Reading the Bible in a year?

Ever feel lost when you're reading through the Bible? Mix up Israel's history with Judah? What prompted David to write a particular Psalm? Why aren't Paul's letters in the order he wrote them? With the Chronological Study Bible, you get the answers to these questions and more. By arranging Scripture in historical order, you gain significant context to how God's story fits into secular history and points toward one story of salvation.

Gain new insight and clearer focus from features like:

The World Surrounding the Bible Have you ever wondered what life was really like for Bible peoples? Notes throughout ground the unfamiliar in ancient culture.

Historical Landmarks Did Abram likely see the Great Pyramid at Giza when he traveled to Egypt? Important events or landmarks are positioned alongside the biblical narrative, making the Bible come alive.

References with Context Instead of tiny Scripture verses at the bottom of the page or center column linking you to other texts, you get context to what the references actually point toward.

Transition Commentary Because this Bible is arranged in historical order, commentary sections explain how passages relate to each other and where they fit in the timeline of Scripture.

Available in NIV and NKJV

Identity: Who Do You Think You Are? By Dr. Dharius Daniels (Bible Gateway Blog) "Who do you think you are?" That phrase usually has a negative connotation in today's culture. It's a challenge. It's confrontational. When someone is getting up in our space or operating outside their area of expertise, we may ask that question as a way to say, "Check yourself." "Step back." "Take a moment to evaluate your actions and attitudes." Who do you think you are? Notice the emphasis on the word think.... Continue Reading The Profound Importance of Habits By Justin Whitmel Earley (Bible Gateway blog) "You're going to love school today," I tell Whit as I zip up his coat. "You have PE, which means you get to go outside," I go on as I tie his shoes. "And if you see your brother Ash in the hallway, make sure you give him a fist bump," I remind him as I buckle his seat belt, "because brothers stick together, okay?" This is a remarkable moment, and totally normal. You do it too. We do complicated, difficult tasks on autopilot. We flip pancakes and change diapers while also doing much more important things like chatting with a spouse or mulling over a work problem. We can do this because of the amazing phenomenon of habit.... Continue Reading Don't Let Your Past Direct Your Future By Darryl Strawberry (Bible Gateway blog) In the sport of baseball, a player's mental approach to the game can largely determine success or failure. When competing against the most skilled and athletic players in the world, a competitive advantage often is achieved more by what's going on between the ears than between the lines on the field. As a major leaguer, I tried to approach each at bat or each play in the field as a new opportunity to succeed. That meant my previous at bat or last 20 at bats, for better or worse, should have no bearing on my focus and outlook for success in the moment at hand. Each at bat as well as the next play in the field should stand on its own ... Continue Reading   - Looking for more?

Dallas Willard Daily Devotional- October 31, 2022

Click to view this email in your browser.

Doing as Jesus Does Is it then hard to do the things with which Jesus illustrates the kingdom heart of love? Or the things that Paul says love does? It is very hard indeed if you have not been substantially transformed in the depths of your being, in the intricacies of your thoughts, feelings, assurances, and dispositions, in such a way that you are permeated with love. Once that happens, then it is not hard. What would be hard is to act the way you acted before. When Jesus hung on the cross and prayed, "Father, forgive them because they do not understand what they are doing," that was not hard for him. What would have been hard for him would have been to curse his enemies and spew forth vileness and evil upon everyone, God and the world, as those crucified with him did, at least for a while. He calls us to him to impart himself to us. He does not call us to do what he did, but to be as he was, permeated with love. Then the doing of what he did and said becomes the natural expression of who we are in him. From The Divine Conspiracy: Rediscovering Our Hidden Life in God. Copyright © 1997 by Dallas Willard.

New Testament Reading Plan: NIV- October 31, 2022

Click to view this email in your browser.

View today's reading at Bible Gateway Titus 1 1 Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ to further the faith of God's elect and their knowledge of the truth that leads to godliness— 2 in the hope of eternal life, which God, who does not lie, promised before the beginning of time, 3 and which now at his appointed season he has brought to light through the preaching entrusted to me by the command of God our Savior, 4 To Titus, my true son in our common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior. Appointing Elders Who Love What Is Good 5 The reason I left you in Crete was that you might put in order what was left unfinished and appoint elders in every town, as I directed you. 6 An elder must be blameless, faithful to his wife, a man whose children believe and are not open to the charge of being wild and disobedient. 7 Since an overseer manages God's household, he must be blameless—not overbearing, not quick-tempered, not given to drunkenness, not violent, not pursuing dishonest gain. 8 Rather, he must be hospitable, one who loves what is good, who is self-controlled, upright, holy and disciplined. 9 He must hold firmly to the trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that he can encourage others by sound doctrine and refute those who oppose it. Rebuking Those Who Fail to Do Good 10 For there are many rebellious people, full of meaningless talk and deception, especially those of the circumcision group. 11 They must be silenced, because they are disrupting whole households by teaching things they ought not to teach—and that for the sake of dishonest gain. 12 One of Crete's own prophets has said it: "Cretans are always liars, evil brutes, lazy gluttons." 13 This saying is true. Therefore rebuke them sharply, so that they will be sound in the faith 14 and will pay no attention to Jewish myths or to the merely human commands of those who reject the truth. 15 To the pure, all things are pure, but to those who are corrupted and do not believe, nothing is pure. In fact, both their minds and consciences are corrupted. 16 They claim to know God, but by their actions they deny him. They are detestable, disobedient and unfit for doing anything good.

Daily Devotional by John Piper- October 31, 2022

Click to view this email in your browser.

The Danger of Drifting Therefore we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, lest we drift away from it. (Hebrews 2:1) We all know people that this has happened to. There is no urgency. No vigilance. No focused listening or considering or fixing of their eyes on Jesus. And the result has not been a standing still, but a drifting away. That is the point here: there is no standing still. The life of this world is not a lake. It is a river. And it is flowing downward to destruction. If you do not listen earnestly to Jesus and consider him daily and fix your eyes on him hourly, then you will not stand still, you will go backward. You will float by. Drifting is a deadly thing in the Christian life. And the remedy to it, according to Hebrews 2:1, is, "Pay close attention to what you have heard." That is, consider what God is saying in his Son Jesus. Fix your eyes on what God is saying and doing in the Son of God, Jesus Christ. This is not a hard stroke to learn so that we can swim against the stream of sin and indifference. The only thing that keeps us from swimming like this is our sinful desire to float with other interests. But let us not complain that God has given us a hard job. Listen, consider, fix the eyes — this is not what you would call a hard job description. It is not a job description. It is a solemn invitation to be satisfied in Jesus so that we do not get lured downstream by deceitful desires. If you are drifting today, one of the signs of hope that you are born again is that you feel pricked for this, and there is a rising desire in your heart to turn your eyes on Jesus and consider him and listen to him in the days and months and years to come.
