Go e-truthFew things are more important for the Christian, or for anyone, thanto read regularly the word of God—all of it: the hard, the tedious,and the mysterious, as well as the encouraging and exciting parts.There are many fine commentaries and daily reading notes (see page 630),but it is essential that we know our Bible, and the only way to achieve thisis by reading it through—over and over again.The following plan ensures that in a year and a half we will have readevery word of the Bible once and parts of the New Testament twice.For each day, a longer Old Testament portion is followed by a shorterNew Testament reading. The brief introductions are not commentariesbut simply set the reading in its context. It is vital that Christians shouldknow the history of their faith and how each book of the Bible fits into theunfolding of God’s promise and plans.The titles of the psalms are not necessarily part of the inerrant Scriptures,but they do indicate the occasion for some of them. Here, the psalmsare placed either according to the title or where their theme seems mostappropriate. The reader should always take note of the psalm title.For those who are not familiar with the history of the biblical narrative,it will be helpful to follow the outline of the Old Testament (page 676)and the outline of the Acts of the Apostles (page 704) in conjunction withthe daily reading.Book 6: Enjoy your Bible! 711NBT-inners.indd 71106/08/2020 12:40:51
Book 6, Chapter 7Genesis means ‘beginning’. It begins withthe account of how God created the universeand life in all its forms. This first book in theBible introduces us to the human race andits development, marriage, sexuality, sin,salvation and the chosen people, language,government, culture, nations, geography,religion, and much more. There is no suchthing as pre-history because there is nohistory before God’s record in Genesis. Thisis God’s revelation of origins.From the time of Noah and the globalflood, our focus shifts to the family anddescendants of Abraham and God’spromise of a chosen people that willeventually lead to the Saviour, Jesus Christ.Matthew was a disciple of Christ andhis Gospel focuses on Christ as King. Hisgenealogy of Jesus is traced back to Adamthrough the line of Joseph, who was thelegal father of Jesus.1.Genesis 1–21.Matthew 12.Psalms 19; 1042.Matthew 2:1–183.Genesis 3–43.Matthew 2:19–3:124.Genesis 5–7:54.Matthew 3:13–4:175.Genesis 7:6–8:225.Matthew 4:18–5:126.Genesis 9; Psalm 296.Matthew 5:13–267Genesis 10–11:267.Matthew 5:27–478.Genesis 11:27–138.Matthew 6:1–189.Genesis 14–159.Matthew 6:19–3410Genesis 16–1710.Matthew 7:1–1411.Genesis 18–1911.Matthew 7:15–2912Genesis 20–2112.Matthew 8:1–1713Genesis 22–2313.Matthew 8:18–3414.Genesis 2414.Matthew 9:1–1715Genesis 25–2615.Matthew 9:18–3816.Genesis 27–28:916.Matthew 10:1–2517.Genesis 28:10–30:2417.Matthew 10:26–4218.Genesis 30:25–31:3518.Matthew 11:1–1919.Genesis 31:36–32:2119.Matthew 11:20–3020.Genesis 32:22–3420.Matthew 12:1–2121.Genesis 35–3621.Matthew 12:22–3722.Genesis 3722.Matthew 12:38–5023.Genesis 38–3923.Matthew 13:1–2324Genesis 40–41:3624.Matthew 13:24–4325.Genesis 41:37–4225.Matthew 13:44–5826Genesis 43–44:1326.Matthew 14:1–21712 Nothing but the TruthNBT-inners.indd 71206/08/2020 12:40:51

Reading the Bible from cover to coverThe traditional view of Solomon as theauthor of Ecclesiastes (1:1,12) has beenchallenged by some conservative scholarswho place it at the time of the Persian exileover four hundred years after Solomon,by an unknown writer who impersonatesSolomon as a literary device. However,it was most likely written by Solomonreflecting on his later backsliding and themeaningless of life when we leave Godout. The best translation of the word‘Ecclesiastes’ is ‘The Preacher’.244.

Luke 20:1–191–2 Kings: Solomon’s final years were adisappointment as he allowed his paganforeign wives to turn his heart and mindaway from God. As a result, the kingdomthat had enjoyed so much peace andstability began to fragment, as we saw in 1Kings 11. The succession of Rehoboam sawthe division of the land into ten northerntribes (Israel) based around Samaria andtwo southern tribes (Judah) centred uponJerusalem.252. 1 Kings 12252.

Book 6, Chapter 7The Council at Jerusalem was vital forthe gospel. Jewish converts arrived fromJerusalem claiming that the Gentiles mustconform to aspects of the law given throughMoses. It was a message of justification byfaith and ceremonial works. Galatiansmay be the earliest letter of Paul on record,written around ad 48 (either just beforeor after the Council), to the Christians inGalatia who were adopting the heresy ofthe ‘Judaizers’. It contains Paul’s personaltestimony, a warning against the falsegospel, and a reminder of the freedomthere is in Christ.Apart from the usual cluster of critics,there has never been serious doubt aboutthe authorship of the thirteen letters (notcounting Hebrews) that have Paul’s nameon them. They are all included in theearliest lists of the Christian canon of theNew Testament books.298. Jeremiah 16:1–17:8298. Galatians 1299. Jeremiah 17:9–18:17299. Galatians 2:1–10300.

The letter of James, probablysent before the Council at Jerusalem,deals with practical Christian living andreminds the readers that our faith can onlybe seen by the quality of the life we live.724 Nothing but the TruthNBT-inners.indd 72406/08/2020 12:40:52

He hadwritten a ‘previous letter’ to warn them notto associate with immoral people, whichwas apparently misunderstood (5:9–11).Meanwhile, during his time in Ephesus,Paul heard of moral disorders and disunitywithin the church and wrote this strongcorrective in 1 Corinthians—which wasalso resented as interference. Here healso deals with the subjects of the Lord’sSupper, spiritual gifts and the resurrection.331. Lamentations 1331. 1 Corinthians 1:1–17332. Lamentations 2332. 1 Corinthians 1:18–31333.

A speed reading programme should isolate the skill that is being practised which is increasing the speed of a students reading. It is important not to confuse the purpose of the exercise with increasing vocabulary, improving reading comprehension or anything else. A speed reading programme is only a small part of an overall reading programme
Recent studies have suggested that reading-while-listening can assist in fostering reading skills. For example, Chang and Millet (2015) evidenced a superior rate of reading, and level of reading comprehension, for audio-assisted reading (reading-while-listening) over silent reading.
