2010: A Bible Odyssey

Have you ever read through the whole Bible? Have you ever wondered how the whole story connects together? This year I am challenging myself and our congregation to Journey through the Bible in a year. I encourage you to take up this challenge and commit to pursue doing the daily readings (The schedule even Gives you Saturdays off to catch up.)
While you do this you'll know that others are doing it with you. You'll have fellow travelers reading the same accounts of God's great works and will always have something to talk about.
In addition your pastor will be preaching throughout the year from selections from the scriptures as you are reading them, highlighting the great unfolding story of God's Good News.
Our journey will not be like the usual, Bible in a year, plans but will be a cover to cover journey, keeping the story in unity from Genesis through Revelation. If you get off track you can just pick up on that days readings and then recover on Saturday.
I am excited to be doing this with you and I know it will not only make us stronger in the Word, but also strengthen our ties as a congregation as we find our place in the adventure together.

In Christ and On the Shepherd's Path,
Mark

Bible Reading Plan for Oakdale UP Church 2010

Use Saturdays to catch up.

Pray: Heavenly Father, Through the Holy Spirit, help me to understand what I read and apply it to
my life. In Jesus Name Amen.

The Manhattan Declaration
A Call of Christian Conscience
Christians, when they have lived up to the highest ideals of their faith, have defended the weak and vulnerable and worked tirelessly to protect and strengthen vital institutions of civil society, beginning with the family.

We are Orthodox, Catholic, and evangelical Christians who have united at this hour to reaffirm fundamental truths about justice and the common good, and to call upon our fellow citizens, believers and non-believers alike, to join us in defending them. These truths are:

1. the sanctity of human life
2. the dignity of marriage as the conjugal union of husband and wife
3. the rights of conscience and religious liberty.


Inasmuch as these truths are foundational to human dignity and the well-being of society, they are inviolable and non-negotiable. Because they are increasingly under assault from powerful forces in our culture, we are compelled today to speak out forcefully in their defense, and to commit ourselves to honoring them fully no matter what pressures are brought upon us and our institutions to abandon or compromise them. We make this commitment not as partisans of any political group but as followers of Jesus Christ, the crucified and risen Lord, who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
