New Testament Bible Study
- A new approach to learning and interacting while we develop our faith...
- Welcome to the online study of the New Testament, sponsored by Faith United Methodist Church in Champaign, Illinois, but open to anyone to participate. The guideline for this is simple - there are 260 chapters in the New Testament, one for every weekday in a calendar year. This page lists a bible chapter to read, and questions to ponder, for each weekday. The books aren't studied in the order they appear in the Bible. You can share your answers or thoughts by commenting to each day's post. To start from the beginning, look for "Mark 1 - August 18" in the Blog Archive below.

This description is scary to me, but more so because of the extreme time line. I am fairly sure that I will not be alive to see the most horrible parts of it, but my children, or their children, or theirs. . . may be. This reminds me even more how important it is that I try my utmost to live out a Christ-like life, to model to my children and impart to them a yearning for scripture and prayer so that they can have hope and joy even in the worst circumstances. They can then pass that on to their children and on and on. I am thankful however that there IS an end to it. Jesus' words will never pass away. He is the Word made flesh. The night is worst before the dawn and thank God for the dawn! What a glorious relief, a hope fulfilled it will be!
