DAILY BIBLE READING NOTES

BIBLE SOCIETY

BIBLE READING NOTES

As promised following the Morning Service on Sunday 29^th October, please find details of three organisations offering Daily Bible reading notes:-

The Bible Society,
Scripture Union,
Bible Reading Fellowship.

There are a number of other providers who can be found on the internet.

The three provider details above have been taken from the internet under ‘Bible Reading notes’ UK‘.

Many providers also offer their details on the internet as well as in Print.

Should you consider taking out a PRINT subscription, it might be worth asking if there is an outdated copy they would be prepared to send so that a closer examination could be made before takin an annual subscription.

On the internet there are some examples shown similar to the ‘Bible Society’, and some providers may be willing to offer some of their recent examples.

The telephone numbers of the above three providers are shown.

Daily reflections

Our daily reflections follow the M'Cheyne Bible reading plan, designed for those who want to read the whole Bible in one year. Each reflection focuses on one of the chapters from that day's readings.

EXAMPLE

Daily reflection: Acts 7

Acts 7 tells the story of the first martyr. Stephen, whose face 'looked like the face of an angel' when he was brought to trial, gives the Sanhedrin a history lesson, outlining in forensic detail – as a Jew speaking to fellow-Jews – all the ways in which the people of God had fallen short. He concludes by denouncing them personally: in condemning Jesus, they themselves have now 'betrayed and murdered' the Righteous One the prophets foretold (verse 52).

The story echoes that of David after his sin with Bathsheba, when in 2 Samuel 12 the prophet Nathan confronts him face to face. 'You are the man,' he says, as David works himself into a rage about the sins of someone else. Stephen tells the Council that they, not he, are guilty. But unlike David – or those who heard Peter's similar words in Acts 2.37 – they are not driven to repentance but to fury. The sober Sanhedrin turns into a lynch mob and Stephen is murdered.

It's never easy to be accused of doing wrong. We would rather dwell on our virtues than on our vices. But what matters is what happens next. We can blame others and deny reality or grieve and repent. If our response is anger and rejection, the results can be dreadful.
