Daily Bible Reading is Moving

Posted on June 26, 2014 by Deborah H. Bateman

To my friends, family, subscribers and followers,

Due to circumstances beyond my control I will be moving Daily-Bible-Reading.com to DeborahHBateman.com. Starting tomorrow the Daily Bible Reading will be on the blog for DeborahHBateman.com. Please bear with me as we make these changes.

This is something I have been thinking about doing for a while and I think it will be a positive change for me and you as well. It may take me a little while to get everything in place, but hopefully the move won’t be too painful for any of us.

Daily-Bible-Reading.com was hosted on Quick Blogcast by GoDaddy. They are no longer supporting the Quick Blogcast program. For some reason I did not receive notification of this and only found out today when I went to do my blog post. They said they had cleared everything out and couldn’t retrieve it.

Thank goodness I had made copies of all my recent posts and won’t lose everything. A lesson to those of you blogging on any system, make sure to make copies of your blog posts if you plan to use them in any way in the future. Keep copies on your own computer.

I look forward to continuing to share Daily Bible Reading with you from my blog at DeborahHBateman.com/blog. Thanks for your support.

Blessings,

Deborah

How to Enjoy Reading and Studying the Bible

Posted on February 6, 2014 by Deborah H. Bateman

Some people may find reading and studying the Bible to be hard, while others find it inspirational, encouraging, and uplifting. Reading the Bible and coming to know the Lord can be a life-changing experience.

Making a habit of reading from the Bible every day is a good habit to get into. It will help you get to know the Bible and get to know the Lord.

When studying the Bible, you go a little deeper than just reading it. You can actually dig in and ask yourself some questions to help you comprehend and apply what you have read.

I like to study one book at a time in the Bible so I can get a clear understanding of what that book is about rather than skipping around to different passages of Scripture.

10 Questions to Ask Yourself While Studying the Bible

I have ten questions that I want to share with you that may help you as you study the Bible. I’ve broken them down into two sets of questions.

The first set of questions, you can ask yourself, while reading and studying the Bible, is the who, what, where and when questions:

Who is writing this passage of Scripture?

Who is it about?

What is going on in this Scripture?

What can I learn from this Scripture?

Where is the Scripture taking place?

When is this Scripture taking place?

The next set of questions you might like to ask yourself is more about your senses:

What do you see in this Scripture?

What do you hear in this Scripture?

What do you feel in this Scripture?

How does this Scripture make you feel?

I hope applying these questions to your Bible study time will help you to dig deeper into God’s Word and come out feeling like you are really getting to know and understand what the Bible is all about. If you would like to join us for our daily Bible study you can subscribe to Daily-Bible-Reading, where we share a daily devotional Monday through Friday.

You may also like to check out some of the books I’ve written about different books of the Bible or specific topics. I take you through the book one day at a time sharing a brief commentary, the daily Bible Scripture, a few questions for contemplation and a prayer for the day. All of my books are available on Amazon.

May God bless you as you read and study the Bible,

Deborah

The Book of Esther: A Story of Love and Favor

Posted on March 30, 2012 by Deborah H. Bateman

I am so excited to announce to you that The Book of Esther: A Story of Love and Favor has been downloaded to Amazon and should be available tomorrow. It is a Daily-Bible-Reading Study of The Book of Esther. It contains 18 lessons consisting of: a commentary, the daily Bible Scripture, the prayer of the day, and a few thoughts to ponder which I call things to think about. It is a book about love, God’s favor, and a bit of history. I really enjoyed studying The Book of Esther every time I went through it. I am sure you are anxious to get your copy, so help me keep an eye out for it on Amazon. Let me know when you spot it on Amazon. Let’s see who will buy the first copy!

Do you use Google+ to promote your websites, blogs, or Book?

Posted on February 29, 2012 by Deborah H. Bateman

I recently started with Google+ and have been using it to help promote my website, blogs and my book. It is a social network on Google. I think you have to have a Google email to join it. If you need an invite let me know. You can set up your profile, add friends to your circles, +1 and comment on their posts and hangout with your friends.

You can create pages for your websites, blogs, books, businesses, etc. They are very easy to set up. I created pages for Deborah H. Bateman-Author Site, Christian Daily Resources, Daily-Bible-Reading, and Bible Verse Tweet. There is a link on the right hand side of the page that says Create a Google+ Page. You click on that and follow the step by step instructions and in no time you have your page.

Today I finally tried the hangout feature. You have to have a camera and microphone on your computer. All you have to do is click on the button on the right hand side of the page that says hangout. It will take you to a screen to download the software you need then you will see yourself on the screen. You can then invite your friends to hang out with you. You can watch YouTube videos, share screens, carry on a conversation, have a meeting, etc. It is best if you set up a time to meet so your friends will be there when you invite them, unless you want to take your chances and see who is available at the time. I think the limit is ten people at a time. So you can’t invite all your friends at once, but you can have a small party or hangout.

I found some good videos on YouTube that explain how to use the hangout feature. If you would like to check them out go to my YouTube channel and look for hangouts. My YouTube Channel is DebBat0519. Join me on Google. I am listed as Deborah Bateman. Leave a comment and let me know if you are on Google+, if you have pages or have an experience with the hangout feature you want to share.
