There’s a lady in her late twenties in my small group. This past week she shared how just over a year ago her husband died of cancer. And shortly after that (to further compound the situation), her mom died of cancer.
In our discussion about finding contentment in God, she offered the following wisdom:

In elementary school, I remember riding the bus to a local Baptist church. I don’t know how long or how regular, but it couldn’t have been more than a couple of years and only semi-regularly at best.
But the bottom line was that I didn’t really have much of a church background growing up.

Here is a diverse and pretty comprehensive collection of Bible reading plans. All of them are easy to follow and most include a printable copy you can keep in your Bible.
They range from two week commitments to year-long commitments, from reading straight through cover to cover, to topical readings, to a mixture of readings [...]

Psalm 125:1-2 (NIV)
1 Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion, which cannot be shaken but endures forever. 2 As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds his people both now and forevermore.
Mountains can’t be moved (Eh, for the most part. Matthew 17:20.). As this verse and I have [...]

It’s great that smart people who love Jesus get together and summarize doctrine and the Bible into short, digestible chunks. I just wish they would cross reference their chunks with the verses in the Bible that support them.
For example, the Nicene Creed, the Apostle’s Creed, or the Chicago Statement on Biblical [...]
