A Tool for Bible Study, Prayer, and Teaching April 21, 2021

Solomon said, “Of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh” (Ecclesiastes 12:12). This is the life verse of every college student! In fact, each year in the United States alone there are between 600,000 and 1 million books published. We all have a long list of books we need to – intend to – read.

When I write something it is always with a desire to be a help to someone and a prayer that God will use it however He chooses. Recently I wrote a little book on The Need of Our Nation. It is a brief study of two Old Testament passages and two New Testament passages that give eternal truth to those who are burdened for their nation.

Our country is in trouble. Only God can turn the tide. Some group of Christians has to find His burden and believe that He is able. This is the need of our nation.

I am not asking you to read the book. I am asking you to pray your way through the book and then teach it to someone else. You can watch a brief video about it on our YouTube channel and then order your copy of The Need of Our Nation.

Here are a few suggestions for using this revival resource:

  • Look up all of the Scriptures that are referenced throughout the book and mark them in your Bible. There are a host of cross references given for further study. We hope this little book will encourage many to dig further into God’s Book!
  • Divide your study following the main breaks in the book. Don’t rush through the material. Each of the main passages of Scripture studied may be used as a template for a time of prayer. The material is broken into six parts: Shaking Foundations, What Can We Do?, A Patriot’s Prayer, Our First Work, Noah and Lot, and It’s Your Turn. Some of these could easily be divided into multiple sessions.
  • Consider obtaining additional copies to give to others. So many people are troubled about the condition and direction of our country. This is something that you can put into the hands of those you want to encourage.

Following a contentious election year and on the verge of the 20th anniversary of 9/11 we are praying God will use this new tool to stir many to seek the Lord on behalf of our country.

M’Cheyne’s Bible Reading Plan Each year I adopt some plan for my daily devotional reading of Scripture. To be honest, I try to vary this a little each year to keep it fresh. Over the last year, I have been using a plan that Robert Murray M’Cheyne developed for the people that he pastored. It is helpful for several reasons: It leads you through the Old Testament once and the New Testament and Psalms twice during the year. It gives a variety of Scripture passages to read each day - historical, prophetical, and devotional. It divides the readings into readings for the morning and for the evening. It promotes a reading for private devotions and one for family devotions. It encourages the church family to read through the Bible together. M’Cheyne’s heart was to strengthen families and the church family, while deepening the personal devotion of each Christian. I can tell you from personal experience, that it has been a delight to follow. (Read M'Cheyne's full introduction to his system HERE).  We have decided to make M’Cheyne’s plan available through Enjoying the Journey this year, with the prayer that God will use it to lead all of us to a life full of the Word in the days ahead.
