B90 - Bible in 90 Days

New Bible in 90 Days classes are forming. They will meet at 10:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. on Tuesdays starting May 29. Cost is $25 for materials. Contact Regina Childress (rchildress@marvinumc.com or 903.592.7596) for information.

How can you find 45 minutes a day to read the Bible?

Pray. If your desire is to seek God through His word, He will honor that request. You will be amazed!

Recapture time. Do you spend time watching TV, checking up on Facebook, etc.? Instead, make a commitment to redirect that time to God for 90 days. You will be glad you did.

Make use of technology. Do you spend lots of time in the car? Purchase a Bible on CD and make the most of that commute. Do you like to exercise, walk, work in the yard, etc.? Download the Bible on your MP3.

Set an example for the family. Do your daily reading while your children do their homework. Let them encourage you too!

Under stress? Read the Bible before you go to bed. Rest in God as you put aside the worries of the day.

Testimonials

What a sense of accomplishment! I have not ever read much of the Bible, so the experience was very moving and a reassurance of God’s presence in our lives. Life-changing experience.

Prior to B90, I “knew” in my mind the Bible was a “living” document, but through reading the Bible, I experienced the Word as a living, transforming instrument of God. My desire to know God through learning who God is has become a focus of my life. My faith was reaffirmed. I am so glad He did not forsake me or forget me.

I found this to be a fulfilling experience to commit to something that I was not positive I could accomplish, yet I was determined to see it through to completion. I felt better about myself in committing one hour each and every day and making this a priority in my life. I learned so much more about God and myself.

The experience of reading the Bible has helped me understand the Word more. I hope to continue reading the Bible each day. Life-changing would be my best description of this experience. I think my relationships with family and friends are even better!

I did it again! The second time through B90 helps you gain an even deeper understanding. You recall the names and stories much more readily. I recommend everyone retake B90 about one to two years after the first time.

The Bible in 90 Days course has brought me together with my mother, having the opportunity to share an in-depth discussion on the progression of the Old and New Testaments and the teachings in a somewhat chronological progression of events.

B90 has helped reinforce the trust I have in God ‘s plan for all of us. We have to do our best to follow his plan for us, trusting his will to be done.

I have a strong heart-felt desire to do more Bible study. I have found a time when I am at peace, can pray and know that God is there with me. What a great feeling!

This is the first time I have read the Bible completely. Reading it during work breaks and in public, people would ask what I was reading. I would show and tell them, hopefully leading to others becoming interested in reading the Bible.
