Reflecting God to the World
January 1, 2017
Thanks!
Thank you to all who have served in 2016! You have done great things for God!
Bible Reading
Starting tomorrow (Monday), we'll begin to read through the New Testament. It's only 1 chapter a day for 5 days a week.
| Day | Reading |
| Monday | Mark 1 |
| Tuesday | Mark 2 |
| Wednesday | Mark 3 |
| Thursday | Mark 4 |
| Friday | Mark 5 |
· Mark was written to Gentile Christians (that would be us).
· Mark 2:27 – The Sabbath was made for man to rest. How can he rest if he's busy trying to avoid breaking tedious rules?

How to Read the Bible*:
Read is daily, not as a newspaper, but as a letter from your Heavenly Father – as a letter from home.
When a cluster of Heavenly fruit hangs within your reach, gather it.
When a promise lies upon its pages as a blank check, cash it.
When a prayer is recorded, appropriate it and launch it as a feathered arrow from the bow of your desire.
When an example of holiness gleams before you, ask God to do as much for you.
When the truth of Christ is revealed in all its intrinsic splendor, entreat that His glory and beauty may ever irradiate the hemisphere of your life.
(*Yes, this is repeated from last week. However, this is appropriate since we are starting a new reading through the Bible.)
