To know and revere the Word of God is life-transforming. At Revering the Word, we encourage people to follow a one-chapter-a-day Bible reading plan and listen to the Revering Word Podcast to help them gain greater understanding.
So, how did Revering the Word come about? My personal devotional method for the past couple of decades has been to study one chapter of the scripture daily, reading for quality rather than quantity. There is a vast difference between studying and reading. I have found a devotional study method of consuming the Bible incredibly beneficial to my faith and devotion to God. One can study the whole Bible every three years with this method of reading one chapter a day. This method has been one of the greatest blessings of my life. In addition, others who have taken this challenge have also testified to the positive change this has made in their faith.
“It takes a whole Bible to make a whole Christian.”
One of the great tragedies of our day is that many Christians only know cherry-picked verses of the Bible commonly preached on a Sunday morning. How can one get to know the whole Jesus if they don’t know the whole Bible? It is essential to know what is true so that one can also recognize what is false. Man is being deceived today by the world's twisting of God’s Word. The best way to overcome this immense problem is to learn the whole counsel of God's Word for yourself. The most impactful way to learn the Word is to slow down and study it while learning from someone who has invested significantly in gaining a deeper and proper understanding.
One of the men of God I have learned from is the late great teacher Vernon McGee. Vernon McGee's ministry was to preach through the scriptures in an expository manner. His example inspired me to teach through the scriptures and has helped lead to Revering the Word. He called those who listened part of the Bible bus. You are invited, as Vernon McGee coined, to join us on the Revering the Word Bible Bus.
Teaching from Pastor Jay Cavaiani with an emphasis on revering the Word of God.
In this life we can and will face overwhelming suffering. Our Lord Jesus identifies with our suffering as he suffered physically and even suffered the rejection of those he died for. Paul teaches us in this passage that even in our suffering we have an eternal weight of glory in the promise of heaven to all who believe in Him. This podcast is dedicated to Isaiah and his entire family. I received notification of his tragic passing while recording this podcast. Although I could not read the actual text until I was done recording. After reading the text it seemed of God’s Spiritual unction that this passage was being taught. May it be of spiritual eternal comfort to all who listen.
