Many of you who know me are aware that one of my favorite authors is Mark Twain. By many accounts, including his own, Twain was a Presbyterian. He ruminated often and at length on religious topics.
On more than one occasion, I have quoted Twain in a sermon. I am fond of what he had to say about the Bible. Twain wrote: "Most people are bothered by those passages of Scripture they do not understand, but the passages that bother me are those I do understand." Something to consider as we embark on our reading adventure in the fall.
Peace.

Begin Here: Welcome
Christians in a Presbyterian way value the Bible. That is a understatement. The Bible is a means of grace through which God reveals God and declares to the world God's will. The Westminster Confession of Faith of 1647 calls the Bible "most necessary."
Beginning September 15, 2010, First Presbyterian Church of Winchester, Virginia is launching a Bible in a Year reading program. By reading four chapters a day, three from the Old Testament and one from the New Testament, a person can complete the Bible in 365 days.
This blog will post the weekly readings and allow for questions and comments regarding the readings. The following link provides the readings for the entire year. Simply copy and paste it to your address bar: http://www.ewordtoday.com/year/31/osep15.htm
Pledge now to read the Bible in a year. Use the blog for support in accomplishing the task.
Of course, reading the Bible is for more than informational purposes. It is also for transformational purposes. Listen for the word God has for you as you seek to be faithful to God.
Peace,
