5 Ways to Read More of the Bible

J.A. Medders has some terrific advice to help you read more of the Bible. At its core, his essential counsel cannot be improved on: Just read the Bible. But we have so many expectations regarding what Bible reading time should look like, that we often fail to read simply because we can’t meet our accumulated expectations!

So Medders offers 2 rejections and 3 practices to encourage you to just read.

1. Reject needing the Instagrammable scenario (you don’t need an undistracted 30 minutes or a perfect cup of coffee; just read).
2. Reject the checkbox (you don’t need to wait for enough time to complete a predetermined selection of text; just read).
3. Read on your phone (make use of technology and downtime; it is no less valuable or spiritual).
4. Read without study speed bumps (just keep going and don’t feel like the time is wasted if you don’t look into every curiosity).
5. Read in community (“teamwork makes the dream work”).

This is great and encouraging advice. Just keep reading, and God will use it.
