We accept the Bible, including the 39 books of the Old Testament and the 27 books of the New Testament, as the written Word of God. The Bible is the only essential and infallible record of God's self-disclosure. It leads us to salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. Being given by God the Scriptures are both fully and verbally inspired by God. Therefore, as originally given, the Bible is free of error in all it teaches. Each book is to be interpreted according to its context and purpose and in reverent obedience to the Lord who speaks through it in living power. All believers are exhorted to study the Scriptures and diligently apply them to their lives. The Scriptures are the authoritative and normative rule and guide of all Christian life, practice, and doctrine. They are totally sufficient and must not be added to, superseded, or changed by later tradition, extra-biblical revelation, or worldly wisdom. Every doctrinal formulation, whether of creed, confession, or theology must be put to the test of the full counsel of God in Holy Scripture

exciting!!! debi, i think several of us are wondering what some ideas would be for us to do the rest of the week if we choose option 3.
I am reading through the Old Testament this year as well, since I'll be spending so much time in the New Testament with Hebrews. Plus, I've missed the OT this past year having read only the NT, Psalms and Proverbs.
Pls send copy to us... thx!
I keep forgetting to let you know, but I would like to sign up for the journey as well!
