Comments on: Taking God’s Word Seriously, Pt. 3 http://www.worshipmatters.com/2006/01/taking-gods-wor-2/ Resources for Leading Worship from Bob Kauflin Fri, 25 Jul 2008 11:14:15 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: dbeckel http://www.worshipmatters.com/2006/01/taking-gods-wor-2/#comment-174 dbeckel Fri, 20 Jan 2006 19:59:04 +0000 http://www.worshipmatters.com?p=69#comment-174 Bob, I just wanted to thank you for focusing on the reading of the Bible. It's so important to be doing and I regret the many times I have not chosen to read the Word. By God's grace, I have been having consistent times in the Word for the past 2 months. The main thing I have noticed is that I am becoming more aware of God than I was before. I've also been thinking, "shouldn't I be growing a little faster, now that I've been reading more?" So thank you for the reminder that our growth is gradual and grace filled and that we are often the last to notice. God's Word is sweet, thanks for this series. -dbeckel Bob, I just wanted to thank you for focusing on the reading of the Bible.

I am a pastor, and I have had the same experience as you recorded in your first post -- oh yeah, I read the Bible, but not THROUGH, just the areas I was preaching, and some of my more favorite passages. I had also tried several times to read through with a plan, but it never really clicked, and I would end up far short. But I recently have been using M'Cheyne's reading plan and I have been absolutely LOVING it. It is my favorite time of day; and you are so correct -- pick a place and have a plan! This series of posts was wonderful, as it confirmed to me that there have been others in Christian ministry who have struggled over the years as well. I have blessed beyond belief with my reading time, and now would not miss it for the world! BTW, I pick a few GOOD commentaries to read through along with the Bible reading. I read through the daily reading, after praying for illumination, and then once I have 'soaked' in the Word for a while, I pick up a commentary and read what they have observed. Sorry for the length of this post -- but here are the commentaries I am currently using -- Boice's two volume Matthew set, and F.F. Bruce's Acts, as well as Waltke's Genesis. Thanks for the post!
