Two weeks ago, I extended “An Invitation that Could Change Everything” — an invitation to join a group scattered around the globe, unified by one Spirit and one purpose — to read the Bible through in four months, from January to April of 2015.

Our small group was prompted to do it last year by Keith Ferrin, who billed the Bible Read-Thru as a “Challenge that could change everything.”

We did it — in four months! — and it did bring great changes to my Bible reading and my devotional time.

The invitation to the Bible Read-Thru 2015 is still open. Get two or three friends together, and do it. You won’t regret the decision.

If you let Keith know you’re “in”, he’ll welcome you to a private Facebook group where readers connect and you’ll get encouraging emails from him every now and then. He also does live conference calls during the four months, and anyone can join who wants to talk in person about the read thru.

You don’t have to get involved with any of that if you’re not into social media — but DO get involved in reading (with some friends). Really. It will change your year.

After I finished Read-Thru 2014, I wrote about the surprises — read the guest blog over at Keith’s website today.

I’m all set to start again in 2015!

AND…

What hope do Christians have? Is there any hope in this world?

You’re also invited to HOPE 2015, a new series of devotionals that will focus our thoughts on the great inheritance of hope we have as children of God.

It starts here, tomorrow.
