Owning Your Bible Reading

“Americans are fond of the Bible…But don’t actually read it.”
- Lifeway Resources

You cannot “Own” your faith in God and “Disown” your Bible at the very same time.

16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 that the man of God[b] may be complete, equipped for every good work.

2 Timothy 3:16-17

Breathed out by God…

Drawn in by men…

Fully equipped…to live for Him.


1.It is NOT reading to build up religious “head knowledge.”

2.It is NOT legalistic, a guilt trip, or a way to make God love you more.

A time…A place…and A plan
