Life Journals

When we first started using these journals, I don’t think any of us could have imagined what a blessing they would become.  The journal has a daily reading schedule that takes us through the Old Testament once and the New Testament twice over the course of a year.  It sounds like a lot, but once you’ve done it for a few weeks, it becomes a great blessing and not a chore.  The beauty of the daily reading assignment is that it connects the historical books of the Old Testament, the Psalms, the writings of the prophets, and the New Testament.   Where we tend to see these as separate, stand alone writings, the daily schedule helps us understand how all these are connected.  

 

We’re encouraged to write journal entries through the week as well, using the S.O.A.P. format.  You pick a verse or verses of Scripture, write an Observation about the text, write a personal Application, and then a Prayer.  All of this is explained in more detail in the journal itself. 

 

The journal can be used as a foundational element of a Simple Church.  Each person can come and share from one of their journal entries and the group can benefit from the individual’s insights and add their own insights as well.   This is a phenomenal way to let the Word of God shape you as an individual and as a group.
