#ForTheHope’s Daily Audio Bible is a daily audio Bible (imagine that!) where we read through the Bible in a year, Monday through Saturday. Sundays and special days have short “reflections.”
More accurately, we go through the New Testament in about 10 months and the Old Testament in about 15 months with a passion for just keepin’ it real, having conversations like normal people (except that Roger’s the one with the microphone), and living out the love of Jesus more every single day.

When Paul talks about not going "beyond what is written," what does that mean?
Today’s episode references:
By contrast with (a) modern misunderstanding, biblically, faith is a power or skill to act in accordance with the nature of the kingdom of God, a trust in what we have reason to believe is true. Understood in this way, we see that faith is built on reason. We should have good reasons for thinking that Christianity is true before we dedicate ourselves completely to it. ~ J.P. Moreland, Love Your God with All Your Mind: The Role of Reason in the Life of the Soul

“Reflections” happen on Sundays and special occasions. They’re shorter than what we do Monday through Saturday when we spend ~20 minutes a day (reading through the New Testament in about 10 months and the Old Testament in about 14 months).
Oh, and we do this together — with a passion for just keepin’ it real, having conversations like normal people, and living out the love of Jesus better every single day.

…all that blah blah blah means nothing if he doesn’t help you fall more in love with Jesus and the people in Jesus’ world.
