The 2015 New Testament Challenge

New Testament Challenge

Beginning Nov. 15th (that is, in just 3 weeks from yesterday, at the beginning of the Advent/Nativity Fast), we will once again be embarking on our annual challenge event to read through the entire New Testament (aloud) by Christmas!

Some of our loyal readers are well into the Old Testament Challenge almost half way through! What madness is this, adding another intense reading challenge to our already heavy burdens? Perish the thought. I have no expectations that someone reading the entire Old Testament in 100 days would add this to their daily readings. 

For those of you who are not taking the Old Testament Challenge, and who have been gently reminding me that it is time, have no fear. Here it is.

This is a great endeavor and exercise and you should join it! Read with your spouse as an Advent discipline! Even children can do this, and they have. You can do it, too. Join the many of us who do this every year and prosper your soul in the effort. You won’t be the same.

Remember, we begin Nov. 15th!

The New Testament Challenge is kind of a tradition. We invite you to join us in this 40 day offering and make more time for the reading of Holy Scripture this Advent.
