40 Day Bible Feast

It is exactly one month until Ash Wednesday...the first day of Lent, so it seems fitting to post about the Feast on this day.

What is the Feast? This year, our family is going to take on the challenge of reading only the Bible for the 40 days of Lent. That’s right…no newspapers, magazines, novels and other books, devotionals, etc. which take up our recreational reading time. We are inviting you to join us in this adventure not only for some much needed encouragement, support and accountability but also because we know God will richly bless our time spent with Him in His Word. (This also is a type of fast, since we're fasting from non-Biblical reading material, but I'd rather focus on what we're filling ourselves up with instead of what we're "denying" ourselves).

Intrigued? If you would like to take on this challenge, please sign up by leaving a comment with your name and email. By signing up, we can encourage one another in conversation and prayer through the 40 days and discuss how God is transforming our minds as we feast on the Bible. We will try to journal as much as possible about this experience on the blog, so even if you aren’t participating in the 40 Day Bible Feast, please check out how we’re doing through the blog’s entries. We also encourage you to share your experience as you go through the Feast or even your thoughts as you read about ours.

We'll post more details about what the Feast will entail closer to February 25...so stay tuned. In the meantime, spend some quiet time with God in prayer on whether this is something you'd like to take on and to prepare your heart, body and mind for this journey (for the enemy will try to dissuade us from fulfilling the 40 days).

Love in Christ,
David & Andrea
