When you understand the depth and weight of the old testemant law (sacrifices etc), it makes you so grateful for the freedom and grace we have in Christ!

My dad died on September 22, 2021. He was 69, and he read his Bible every single night after he got home from work which was around 1. When I was younger and he worked normal hours he would read to my mom and I at night before we would all went to bed. He had been talking and praying and making sure his loved ones were saved a year before he died. Especially the last 3 months. He never underlined anything in his Bible. The day he had his stroke and went in the hospital he underlined a verse in his next chapter the next day. It was about grief. I can’t wait to see him again. He read it from beginning to the end every year. He could break things down to where anyone could understand it. I use to teach elementary ages, but recent health issues has caused me to have to quit teaching children’s church. I lost my child like faith, but I’ve recently gotten it back and I’m not gonna loose it. I never prayed before reading the Bible nor after, but I started it recently and it helps a lot. I’m loving these videos btw!!! Especially the fact that you’re not ashamed to teach and spread the word!!!

I'n tearing up... what a wonderful dad, those memories are so precious.

Thank you for doing this video. I have started several times with a “read the Bible in a year” setup and have fallen behind and just given up. It helps to hear someone say it is okay to take more time. You have inspired me to pick it back up today. I think mornings would be my time before the business gets going. Sometimes we remember to be kind to others but not ourselves. I have been thirsting for the Bible recently. Thanks for giving me the nudge.

[@coffeeandbibletime]

Wow this is so encouraging to hear! Glory to God!

[@CountryLane-kj3fk]

Once you find the Study Bible...right for you, it makes it easier to stay within the Word... for longer periods of time!...(for me it's the CSB Study Bible!)....

[@coffeeandbibletime]

Well said my friend! I have enjoyed reading the CSB Bible as well!

[@Jesuslovesyou88627]

I personally don’t like study Bible as my main Bible idk why

[@princessaurora9735]

Ok I literally 42 mom of 8 year old and you girl are teaching me! Thank you for encouraging tips I will now go and use them. I am so excited to start again. I stopped at Deuteronomy and got stuck discouraged about 4 years ago. Thank you for this God Bless you and all the viewers on this channel.

[@stephanieccreates]

I gotta say, I appreciate the sounds of the sirens outside. I live in a really rough city in California and the sound of emergency vehicles is a daily occurrence. Something very real and comforting in a strange way to me lol. Thanks for not cutting it out or apologizing for it.

[@coffeeandbibletime]

Thank you for sharing your perspective on this! It is a delight to have you with us Stephanie!

[@rebeccacole6910]

Bible in a year used to make me think I’d failed because I’d miss a day or two and with little kids it’s hard to catch up. This video has really encouraged me to just pick it up! ❤

[@coffeeandbibletime]

glory to God! thank you for this encouragement!

[@tonyarobertson2154]

I love reading the Bible in chronological order. I bought a one year chronological Bible and it makes the Bible make more sense to me.

I'm doing the bible in a year bible plan and I intend on doing it again next year just to thoroughly know my Bible ❤️

Wow! What a wonderful video! You have helped me jump so many hurdles that were connected with my Bible study. Always a blessing to see Coffee and Bible Time videos. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

Thank you so so much for this video! I don't plan to try to read the Bible in a year but I do want to try to read it as often as possible. I have the She Reads Truth Bible and I have a notebook coming tomorrow (Thursday 9/28). I plan to journal and put down things on my heart from my Bible readings. As well as things I learn from my Bible study I am doing with two of my friends. I really love your channel and I pray blessings over your journey through Bible College and your ministry here on KZbin!

Huge fan. thanks for guides

[@rainsofhealing]

A very excellent video Taylor! To sum up a few of the accurate points: God will meet us where we are at. We don’t need to have a heart posture of “performance.” It’s not about quantity but quality! Better to only read, chew on, pray over and meditate on a couple of verses and have it MEAN something in God’s eyes, than running through 5 chapters at light speed and not getting anything out of it. Also, the reference Bible point is so helpful! I wish I had known that some reference Bibles have alternative agendas in their “reference points.” (Ie: Scofield.) We truly need to seek the Lord personally on what Bible He wants us to read as it can differ from person to person. After reading KJV for a long time, He led me to The One New Man Bible and my ENTIRE WORLD opened up in a way I had never known it could, just by reading the tiny notes and back of the book. It explains things about the context during the time period and “Hebraisms” that I NEVER KNEW for many decades. What a Godsend! It opened up my relationship with Him so much. You look amazing BTW! God bless you and Ashley! Thanks for sharing with us!

[@coffeeandbibletime]

Thank you for sharing this with me! I have never heard of that Bible translation before, I am going to do some research on it! Thank you for your compliment, God bless you too my friend!

[@Marsha-lou1986]

Thank you for this encouraging video. I always feel like a failure when I can’t keep up with a reading plan. ❤

I have been there!! You aren't alone❤️ I am glad you feel encouraged!

[@kathleengill1273]

You look pretty and this was so great Taylor! I'm glad you suggested a study Bible. I love my Life Application Study Bible so much. It's a King James version because that's what I grew up on and have been reading my whole life. My journaling Bible is a New King James version. All of the other versions are fine but the King James and New King James are precious to me. You gave us such wonderful points and ideas. I think you have to make Bible study your own. I usually study the scriptures that our pastor preaches on every Sunday. He is such a wonderful Bible teacher! We just finished Galations and he has just started Revelation. That has always been my guideline. I like to read the scriptures we're given every Sunday in my quiet time. It helps me understand them more. I have many Bibles that were given to me over the years of my life and I've kept every one of them. I'm also fortunate to have heirloom Bibles from relatives. I was happy to hear "let your Bible reading fuel your creativity" too. AMEN! Thank you for the highlighter link too!🌻

[@coffeeandbibletime]

This is wonderful Kathleen!!! That is such a good idea that you shared with everyone about studying the passage you listen to on Sunday mornings! What a good way to listen in-depth. Thank you for your kindness, I hope you are doing well!

I found that when I first started I had to find a good audio book for it. I got the esv version that kristyn getty reads aloud. Her soothing voice helped me a lot when it came to the Bible. Also I do a psalm and proverb a day all month so even when I don't do all the other things cause im busy I at least do that little bit of reading a day.

[@ashleytunny]

Great tips!!

[@coffeeandbibletime]

thanks Ash! it is so good to hear from you❤️

[@ChildofGod98765]

Thank you Jesus! Jesus please save us come soon I’m holding on and keeping faith. Waiting for the rapture. I keep faith even as I constantly struggle to provide for my kids and I constantly struggle to buy groceries. My husband is with you God. At times I feel so alone especially as a single mom. Since suffering a heart attack two years ago and my on going battle with lupus I’m overwhelmed. Both of my sons are autistic but because of you Lord they are thriving. I’m now homeschooling them so my hours to work are limited. Thankfully I have you Lord!The love of others have grown so cold. I know you will continue to provide you have this far. Faith over fear! Praise God and his son Yeshua! Hear my prayers.

Thank you for blessing us with such an intimate prayer! Praying for you as well❤️

[@ginamiller6754]

This is such an inspirational video-thank-you!! I’ve done all of the things you’ve done including reading the smallest books first so I could say I’ve read a certain number of books. 😅 Something’s that have helped me are making a daily habit of opening and reading my Bible. Even if I only read 1 verse. I keep it next to my bed to remind me. This year I’ve done the Bible recap. It’s a chronological read thru the Bible in a year (or longer-the host Tara says numerous times if it takes you longer that’s fine!!) It’s a broader read thru but is giving me the whole picture which has been a huge blessing! There are links to dive further on the website and on some days I really want more info depending on the book. One last thing that I like about this program is the host is honest when we read more difficult parts, like census. And, it’s free. 😊 This is by no means to promote one program over another. There are many teachers, programs and study’s that I’ve found helpful.

[@coffeeandbibletime]

Thank you for sharing this! That is so wonderful! Glory to God for the way He is moving in your life and Bible time❤️ I love your honesty as well!!

[@heatherrae4126]

I used to refuse to use a study Bible because other man’s words were in there and it should only be the word of God! But….I found a cheap study Bible on Christian book and it changed my study time. It’s like studying with a friend when you use a study Bible and getting their input.

Good day, Disclaimer: I'm not violating any religion, I'm just asking for education purposes. Well, to begin with, I have met a woman, who is Jehovah's witnesses, I have spent time with her, took advice from her and also I was connected to their meeting though I'm orthodox. I'm concerned about it.

[@Sarah-bs4qt]

Hi the best thing for you to do is read a king james version bible. And pray to Jesus as in order to be saved we must repent and turn to him. And be born again. To learn about jehovah witness which is a cult. Type into youtube Gene kim, Jehovha witness and a educational video that is biblical will appear.
