The passion narrative in Luke 20-24 is so familiar that when reading it I have difficulty concentrating. Listening to the masterful “Faith Comes by Hearing” audio files gripped my attention again. In Junior College I gained a new appreciation for reading aloud and hearing. At Young Harris I was the reader for a blind student. Reading aloud and listening helped me become a better student. For long hours I read lessons, and sometimes we listened together to “Talking Books.” For English Literature we heard Vanity Fair on bulky phonograph records.
Modern technology has enhanced my present endeavors in reading scripture.
Welcome!This Lenten season, the First Baptist Church of Christ will take the time to listen to the entire New Testament (days and passages are listed on the right column). Through our partnership with the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship, every member of the church will be offered a free MP3 recording of the New Testament. By listening to this recording for less than half an hour each day, one can hear the entire New Testament in forty days.
At this blog, you’ll be able to read some of our members’ thoughts about what they are hearing. Our contributors reflect the great diversity of our congregation. They are male and female, older and younger, some with a seminary background and some without. As you read their questions, reflections, and observations, I invite you to join the conversation by posting a comment.
