Signing Up for my own Operation Deepen Faith challenge
Last year was my first year hosting Operation Deepen Faith. I never created a post with my own goals for the challenge, and so I didn't "accomplish" any goals. This year, I am going to do better! I am going to create a list of goals to meet my own challenge! If you want to join the challenge, comment on the sign-up post.
I. Deep and Wide; Read multiple books of the Bible in multiple translations
I have chosen to read five books (Romans, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, 1 John) in six translations each.
Romans
1. King James Version (January 2012)
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
Ephesians
1. King James Version (January 2012)
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
Philippians
1. King James Version (January 2012)
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
Colossians
1. King James Version (January 2012)
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
1 John
1. King James Version (January 2012)
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
II. Going Deep: Study one book of the Bible throughout the year.
I have chosen the gospel of John. My goal is to read the gospel of John in three study Bibles.
1.
2.
3.
In addition, my goal is to read it in at least ten more translations:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.
III. Meditate or Memorize. This goal or commitment will be trickier. But ideally, I would choose at least one to two verses or one to two passages to share on the blog each month. For example, like how I did John 3:16, John 1:14, Philippians 1:9-11, Philippians 4, or like how I did some of my 'Taste and See' posts.) That's ideally. Realistically speaking, twelve for the whole year might be a good, fair goal.
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.
11.
12.
IV. Christian Nonfiction. My goal is to read 18 books.
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.
11.
12.
13.
14.
15.
16.
17.
18.
It's NOT as much pressure as saying I have to read two books per month. And there's no reason they'd ever have to be spread out evenly through the whole year.
