Sound Impossible?Sound Impossible?

• Readers all over the country

may disagree.

• But wait…there’s more!

Page 3: The OnePage Solution Through the Bible without guilt, without the patience of Job, without getting lost in Leviticus, And without a single daily assignment

Without a daily assignment…Without a daily assignment…

• You will actually end up reading more• And paying closer attention• And enjoying the journey• You see, unlike all the one-year plans out

there…The OnePage Solution eliminates the need for military-like discipline, and…

• Even creates the desire to come back• But there is some discipline required…

Page 4: The OnePage Solution Through the Bible without guilt, without the patience of Job, without getting lost in Leviticus, And without a single daily assignment

DISCIPLINE?DISCIPLINE?

• Yes, it’s true. You will have to exercise a certain amount of discipline and self-control

• You will have to force yourself to STOP reading.

Page 5: The OnePage Solution Through the Bible without guilt, without the patience of Job, without getting lost in Leviticus, And without a single daily assignment

But wait, there’s more!But wait, there’s more!

• “Force myself to STOP reading?”

• It’s true…but more on that later…

• Here are a few other benefits…– You will spend increased time in the NT– And you will continually be reading Psalms and Proverbs– And you will gain new insights to even familiar passages

because the chapter divisions are ignored– And you can actually skip a day (or two) or read more if you

have time– And you will actually finish…but don’t quit…

Page 6: The OnePage Solution Through the Bible without guilt, without the patience of Job, without getting lost in Leviticus, And without a single daily assignment

What do you mean…don’t quit?What do you mean…don’t quit?

• Well, in over twenty years I never have.

• You see, this is not a one-year plan

• It’s not like anything you’ve ever experienced

• Think about it…if there were no daily assignment, no quota, no guilt, just enjoyment of God’s eternal engrafted Word, and if missing a day or two did not matter…then why quit…ever?

• The OnePage Solution…it’s not a race …it’s for life! …in more ways than one

Page 7: The OnePage Solution Through the Bible without guilt, without the patience of Job, without getting lost in Leviticus, And without a single daily assignment

Here’s what Proverbs 4:20-22 Here’s what Proverbs 4:20-22 has to sayhas to say

• …attend to My words; incline thine ear unto My sayings.

• Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.

• For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.

• You think that’s good, wait till you see what Jesus had to say on the subject…

Page 8: The OnePage Solution Through the Bible without guilt, without the patience of Job, without getting lost in Leviticus, And without a single daily assignment

Jesus’ words Jesus’ words recorded in John 15:7recorded in John 15:7

• If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you shall ask what you will,

and it will be done*

• How would that affect your prayer life?

* In another place He adds that pesky condition about it being the will of God…but with this much Word in you, you will begin to understand exactly what the will of God is…

OK, how does this work and why OK, how does this work and why would I have to would I have to forceforce myself to myself to

STOP reading?STOP reading?• The name is the first clue• The OnePage Solution• You’re only allowed to read one page*• Well, actually one page per section• And there are eight sections• “Now wait, that sounds like a lot of reading!”• That would be true if the assignment were to read all

eight sections each day**• But there is no minimum daily requirement.• Only a MAXIMUM!

*Ok, no one’s watching. But if you give this idea a chance for 30 days you will be amazed at how well it works.

**For those of you ‘Type A’ over-achievers this pace would take you through the Bible in about eight months (including twice through the New Testament)! For the rest of us the average is between 10 and 22 months.

Page 10: The OnePage Solution Through the Bible without guilt, without the patience of Job, without getting lost in Leviticus, And without a single daily assignment

MAXIMUM?MAXIMUM?• That’s right, the maximum is one page.

• The Reference Guide will show you exactly which section and page is next

• When you have time, read that page

• Then flip the Guide and pull up the next one

• “But what if the passage or story is interesting? Can’t I just keep reading?”

• No.

• Two things will happen if you force yourself to stop at the end of the page.1. You will find built-in motivation to come back, and…2. You will have exercised discipline like never before.

• But wait, there’s more!

The chronologies The chronologies and other less-than-interesting and other less-than-interesting

sections are sections are alsoalso only one page. only one page.

• That’s right. Some parts of the Bible are, well…frightfully boring…*

• So here’s another reason to keep coming back…you know that any section that is currently a little tedious…is also only one page!

*Bruce Wilkerson, however discovered a short prayer hidden in one of those boring sections and built an entire ministry around it. Just a few power-packed words from a guy named Jabez changed everything.
