Read The Whole Bible In 2015: Friday, March 6, 2015

There are many different websites that offer reading plans to read the Bible in a year. Here is a really good one:  Read the KJV Bible in One Year. For today, why don't you read along with me chapters  5-9 in the book of 2 Corinthians .

Special verses:

"For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done , whether it be good or bad.  Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men."- 2 Corinthians 5:10, 11 (Note: Here is a good sermon on this text: Serious Preaching In A Comedy Culture)

"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold , all things are become new." - 2 Corinthians 5:17

"Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him." - 2 Corinthians 5: 20,21

"... behold , now is the accepted time; behold , now is the day of salvation..." - 2 Corinthians 6:2 Note: Charles Spuregon talks about this text in his sermon Compel Them To Come In. He Says:

"But did I hear you whisper that this was not a convenient time? Then what must I say to you? When will that convenient time come? Shall it come when you are in hell? Will that time be convenient? ... Remember, I have no authority to ask you to come to Christ to-morrow. The Master has given you no invitation to come to him next Tuesday. The invitation is, 'To-day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts...for the Spirit saith 'to-day.' 'Come now and let us reason together;' why should you put it off? It may be the last warning you shall ever have. Put it off, and you may never weep again in chapel."

 Note: If you have a reading disability that makes it difficult or impossible to read along with me this year, please consider going to Biblegateway.com and listening to the Bible. This is a great site with many resources, one of which is an audio version of the Bible.
