Ok who wants to go for it again? I'm starting January 1st!:grin: I found a better downloadable schedule here: http://www.havenministries.com/schedule.pdf So print, grab your Word, and let's get to feeding our spirits!:clap:

Anyone can jump on at any time. I didn't see a read the Bible challenge so I figured, why not? Let's do it!:yay:
 
Wow that is a lot. I just don't think I can do it. How do you manage it?? I'm sure my eyes would just gloss over and I'd have no idea what I was reading!
 
I would love to do this but I know realistically 90 days is not enough time for me to read and comprehend. I would feel rushed and reading it for an exam. :nono:
 
Alright - I guess if you guys can TRY, I can TRY too.

I'll be using my chronological bible and just reading 4 of the readings a day. There are 365 readings so dividing that by 90 gives me about 4 readings a day.
 
I would love be in on this..thanks.... I have tried this before but and I failed to finish that, so I'm up for the 90 challenge!

I think I have a plan on how to accomplish this since I take public transportation.

In the morning, I'll reading 1 session. In the evening, I'll read the 2nd session. When I get home, I'll read the 3rd session. And before bed, I'll read the last session.
 
Welcome challengers!:grin: Anyone else who wants to jump on can do so at any time:) Hairlove I love your plan:yep: I'll be doing something similar. I plan to get my reading done in the morning but on the odd chance that I'm pressed for time I will do half in the morning, half in the evening:)
 
I thought it would be cool to share notes as well so I will go first:

Day One Reading Notes

*The Word (Jesus) God The Father, and The Holy Spirit are all present at the Creation.

* The "light" is different from the sun, moon, and stars. Wondering if this could be a picture of Christ or the Church (He separated it from the darkness). The Bible doesn't say so I certainly won't add to it, however just pondering.

* We see God's Justice & Mercy present at the fall. Even though God cast Adam & Eve from the Garden, he made then clothing from animal skins. Also we see a picture of Christ. The blood of the innocent is shed to cover the shame/sin of the guilty.

* We see that God curses the ground. I believe this is why Cain's offering was rejected. He brought God an offering from the cursed ground however Abel brought the correct sacrifice. It is only by the shed blood of the innocent that sin can be atoned. Another picture of Christ IMO.

* Cain's response "Am I my brother's keeper?" reveals yet again the nature of man to not take responsibility for his own sin. Much like Adam blaming Eve and Eve blaming the serpent, Cain refuses to take responsibility for his own sinful actions. Mankind grapples with this fleshly tendency to this day.

* Once again we see God's Justice & Mercy. Though God punishes Cain,he shows him mercy by marking him.

* First occurence of polygamy in the Bible came from Lamech from the wicked ungodly line of Cain. Polygamy was not God ordained, it was contrary to His original design (Christ sets this straight later...sorry for the spoiler!:lachen:)

* Out of all the Children Adam and Eve had (how many kids can someone have in almost 1,000 years WHOA!?) only Seth's line called upon the name of the Lord.

*Enoch walked with God and was taken up (I believe Enoch is one of the 2 witnesses mentioned in Revelation)

*Fallen Angels & women came together and produced giants. Have read the book of Genesis several times but this is the first time I ever caught that fallen Angels (demons) at one point could take on physical form....I will be paying close attention to find out when/if they lost this ability. This could be an interesting spin off discussion!

* Ongoing theme, the nature of man is depravity and the only good in man comes from God. In the absence of God there is wickedness and corruption. Noah's time sounds a lot like our world today:(

* The Bible calls Noah just, perfect and righteous. He obeyed God without question or hesistation. The same thing is said about and occured with Abram. This leads me to believe that God's idea of perfection is unwavering trust and faith in Him.

* We see 3 types of water, the waters of the deep, the rain, and the window's of heaven. There's a theory that there was a canopy of water in the atmosphere which would hold higher concentrations of oxygen in. This would explain how a huge brachiosaurus with tiny nostrils could breathe, why animals were so huge, and why people lived so long. Validation of Creationism.

* Noah give a sacrifice of atonement to God (another picture of Christ)

* God makes covenant with man never to destroy the world by water again, the land is no longer cursed.

*Once again we see that wickedness is not a learned behavior but a part of the human condition (wicked from youth)

* God puts the fear of man into the animals. First instance of man eating meat (we see it no where else prior to this, I'm guessing man and animals were still vegetarian up until this point)

* Noah passed out drunk nekkid, Ham saw him and told his brothers who respected their father and covered him. When Noah awakened he cursed CANAAN (Ham's son), blessed Shem & Japeth, and did nothing to Ham. I think Noah was still a little tipsy and cursed the wrong person:lachen: The Bible is so real:grin:

* God blessed Abram and made Abram rich using Sarah's beauty! Go team woman!:grin:

*Was Mechidedek Christ?

* God gives Abram the land that is still being fought over to this day

* Sarai gets the bright idea:rolleyes: to have her hand maid have sex with her husband and then has the nerve to start trippin when she gets pregnant (like SHE wanted) and blame Abram:rolleyes:

*God comforts Hagar, and prophesies the current Middle East conflict.

There's way more there than these notes I took but these were the things that really popped out to me this time through :)
 
:grin: I PM'd you about this before I checked the threads. You kicked everyone's butt last year. I have this Bible and I love it. I only made it to day 10 last year. I'm determined this year. kbragg - you will not leave me in the dust again! :rolleyes:
 
SweetlyBlessed your PM had me :lachen:

I'm still here ladies! I've got 3 days of notes to post! I'll be posting after church today:yep:
 
* We see that God curses the ground. I believe this is why Cain's offering was rejected. He brought God an offering from the cursed ground however Abel brought the correct sacrifice. It is only by the shed blood of the innocent that sin can be atoned. Another picture of Christ IMO.

I agree with the majority of this but I was always taught and discerned this as Cain not giving God his first fruits. "In the course of time (which means first has been harvested and probably eaten already; like what he offered was an afterthought) Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering to the Lord. But Abel brought fat protions from some of the firstborn (first is first, you can't get much first then that aka first fruits)..."

Just my 2 cents!

Hmmm....you make an excellent point here also! Actually that lines right up with God commanding in today's reading in Exodus to set apart the firstborn of everything etc.:yep:

Cain was the first "hater" in history come to think of it!

I've completed 5 days of reading so far:yay:

I've decided after much thinking not to post all of my notes here. I will only post high points or big aha's as i read as posting all my notes will be way too time consuming:( If one of you would be willing to take a child or two off my hands that'll free up a lot more time:lachen:Soooooo kidding!:look:
 
Thanks KBragg! This was actually one of my NYR. To read a book for knowledge, for fun, for improvement and the Bible this year. I used to read a lot, but not anymore.

I may not do it in 90 days, but it gives me a guide line to use in my reading. I may stretch mine to 9 mos.:look:
 
I have never read the Bible back to front as of yet. I'm gonna look at the schedule then will determine if I can commit to the 90 days or not. This will definitely help my spiritual growth. :)

Cain the first hater. :lachen: I'm officially done with you kb! You're a day ahead of me already. I took my Bible with me to work today thinking that I would have some down time and I left it at work. I could easily grab another Bible and continue but I really like the read of this one. Ah well. Some of my favorite foods, big comfy sweats and my couch means at lovely catchup evening.

I don't take notes but I do put questions in my phone while I am reading and then later put a cute lil color sticky under that verse with it. When I get the answer, I write it on the sticky for reference. The sticky stays until I am comfortable with committing the understanding to memory. Maybe we can go back and forth about them to get clearity via PM.
 
Hey ladies! I'm on day 7 currently (and today is supposed o be my day 9!:blush:) I've allowed myself to get too busy for the Lord:nono: My prayer life is lame too:nono: As of today I am back on track. I have used my 2 grace days already and I plan to read a few extra pages each day until I'm caught up and have earned them back! I'm also going to get back into the habit of getting up when my hubby does (5:30am:blush:) and spending that quiet time in prayer. I need to keep Christ at the forefront of my life. I AM SECOND and I need to remember that!:yep:
 
Does anyone think they can copy and paste the reading schedule for me pretty please?

My comp. for some reason is not opening pdf files, and I can't read the link. Thanks if you can!
