How do you read the Bible? I'm not preaching now- just interested in how to do a better job myself . (I wish I knew how to maneuver this type/format!). .
Helen and I read the lectionary passages together each morning-- the scriptures leading up to the next Sunday's Gospel -- then we pray together. It is the best part of the day for us both.
Then I use a One Year Bible, the NKJV version, but do not always get all the passages each day-- and often 'catch up' --always Psalms, NT and OT. This time of year --the end-- comes Revelation. There is a promise at the beginning I take literally: " Blessed are those who read these words and those who hear" But that does not mean I understand all the symbolism, or even believe I am supposed to understand-- still there are some portions that are amazingly understandable: the promises, warnings, and blessings in the first three chapters-- what Jesus says to the seven churches.
