Studying the Scriptures

Hey gang!

Here is my intro for what's next:

If you want more information concerning Dr. Bob Utley's plan, here is the link to Dr. Utley's website:

www.freebiblecommentary.org.  I developed an adapted form utilizing Dr. Utley's reading plan as a foundational baseline.  HERE is the direct link to his seminar: "You Can Understand the Bible"

I look forward to continuing our journey together!

Free Bible Resources

For a great site of Free Bible Resources including commentaries, surveys, and how to study the Bible, check out:
http://www.freebiblecommentary.org/

Dr. Bob Utley is a retired hermeneutics professor and pastor (he was my pastor when I was younger) who has spent his life creating quality commentaries and resources to God's people.

Most of his written materials are downloadable in .pdf format.  I also highly recommend his
You Can Understand the Bible Seminar
The link will take you to the main page where you can watch his seminar online as well as download the seminar notebook.

Bible Reading Plans

One of the things that we want to make available to everyone are some Bible Reading Plans.  Scanning across the Net, there are several - dare I say 'a plethora' - of plans available.  Here are some of those sites:

http://www.blueletterbible.org/reader/daily/
You can download printable pdf copies of Canonical (Biblical book order), Chronological, Historical, Old Testament and New Testament Together, and Blended)

http://www.bibleplan.org/
This is a fun one that will send your daily reading scripture references to your email.  13 plans to choose from with several different translations available.  You can even double up on some (ie - OT over two years, NT every year, etc)

http://www.intothyword.org/
This is a website by guy who was inspired by Francis Schaeffer.  Not only does it include Bible Plans, but also includes information on how to study the Bible.

http://www.bible-reading.com/bible-plan.html
This site includes a plan that is based upon GENRE.  For example:  Sunday=Epistles, Monday=The Law, Tuesday=History, Wednesday=Psalms, Thursday=Poetry, Friday=Prophecy, Saturday=Gospels.  Good for those who may be a little ADD.  HA!  This is one of the first plans that I tried and enjoyed.
