Job 6-8
Not gonna lie- this section is rather depressing. Job has moved from “I wish I was never born,” to “I wish God would just kill me and get it over with.” If it wasn’t for the fact that the man has lost everything: his children, his wealth, the respect of his wife, and even kindness…

Job 3-5
Let’s recap… Job’s friends have been sitting with him for a week. Seven days. And no one talks. What would you say to Job? There isn’t really anything you can say to someone who has lost all his children. But- after a week, it turns out that Job’s friends have plenty to say. And it…

Job 1-2
Surprise! We hopped out of Genesis and into Job. (Which I really wish was spelled Jobe (with an E) instead of looking like the thing you do from 9 to 5.) The reason for said hop is because 1) this 2-year Bible reading plan is chronological and 2) the man Job(e) seems to have lived…

Genesis 9-11
The flood waters have receded and Noah’s family is still standing around the altar as we pick back up where chapter 8 stopped. (Those pesky chapter breaks! If you want to be a better student of scripture, ignore them. Read the whole context until the narrative itself suggests a stopping spot.) Something I hadn’t paid…

Genesis 7-8
You and I, we have Noah to thank for being here. He’s our g-r-e-a-t…Grandpa. I don’t think we generally think of Noah as a prophet, but what else do you call men to whom God reveals things before they happen? I have to give credit where credit is due.., Veggie Tales helped me to notice…

Genesis 5-6
I’ve heard the late Dr. Chuck Missler go through the meanings of the names of the 10 pre-flood patriarchs in Genesis 5. In his lecture he shows how the meanings of their names hint at the Gospel. But I’ve also read people who disagree. They say he stretched the definitions. I decided to look them…

Genesis 3-4
In the flow of the narrative in Genesis 2 we end with a naked couple- probably doing what naked couples do. Then the man calls this fabulous creation “woman” and they are just there- “naked and unashamed.” I can’t prove what I’m about to suggest. It’s an idea. Ponder it and do with it what…

Genesis 1-2
The creation week. In elementary school, we started writing projects with an opening statement. It was meant to summarize what we were about to unpack. “Remember the former things of old; for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me, declaring the end from the beginning…

Whole Bible in 2 Years – Intro
Our church is reading through the Bible together over the next 2 years. I’m going to journal my thoughts (for your reading enjoyment). If you’d like a schedule to read along you can download it for free here: This is not my first trip through the Bible. Far from it. But it is the first…
