For Lent-Daily Bible Readings and NT Wright comments on YouVersion
Posted by Don Bryant on February 21, 2012
Lent begins tomorrow on Ash Wednesday, a 40 day journey in relearning saying no to self. Practice it. You’ll need it along the way. YouVersion has a 40 day reading plan developed by NT Wright along with daily comment for both iPhone and Android.
I am reminded of the ease of Bible access for us all when compared to Adoniram Judson’s labors in Bible translation, virtually the work of his life. In addition to all the evangelism and church planting, Judson knew that a church without a Bible would be stillborn. He was a “Bible first” man, like a19th century John Bunyan.
So maybe for Lent self-mortification can at least be denying yourself one brief moment as your attention moves from one thing to another to focus for a while on a biblical text and think about it. It will shape you up and stand you on your feet.
