Starting an Epidemic
Posted on November 5th, 2007 by Jpearson
One of the greatest things my first Pastor, Landy McDaniel taught me to do was to read my Bible every day. Read it through at least every year and study it every week. My second and current Pastor, Austin Gardner, taught me how to write devotions and send them to someone each day. That is a practice i have had now for more than two years. We must become people of the Bible.
This blog is dedicated to Bible reading. This is not a doctrine discussion blog or a forum to argue about Bible versions. This is a blog to start a Bible reading epidemic in our churches.
This is about ideas for reading, exciting things to get your church started on their epidemic and testimonies about how reading the Bible has changed your life.
Well I got your email and have not had time to write anything and then I see you have a new blog. I love the idea and will do my best to help. I want to work your plan in our church and then I will also help promote this blog so that we can get as many people involved in Bible reading as possible.
I think this is a great idea and I look forward to reading all the blogs to come, the comments from readers and seeing an epidemic spread through out our churches.
Praise the Lord!!! Bro. Pearson. I think this is a great idea and an encouragement to everyone to read their Bibles more and more often. It does my heart good to see a bunch of folks on fire for God and not just going through the motions, like the average Christian today. May God richly bless all you do to serve Him.
For Deaf Souls,

I hope this might be an epidemic that will find no cure! Looking forward to what may transpire through your passion. I would also like for you to give more details on your devotional journaling. I’ve never heard of that concept concerning sending them to someone, but am VERY interested. Let me know if I can help in any way.
I learned to write devotionals from brother Gardner. I am going to do a post on that. I have over 300 pages of material from them. Thank you for your comments.
I am very excited about this blog, Bro. Pearson. I think it is a great idea. I also am praying through the Scripture and doing the devotional journal and sending them on to three friends who keep me accountable. It has been a big help to me.
Just one more person telling you that this is an awsome idea. I did have a lot of trouble finding it. It is not yet up on BCWE.net or VisionBaptist.com. I look forward to keeping up on this and let me know if there is anything that I can do to help(other than to just read my Bible).
