What part of the Bible is everyone currently on and reading?

Right now I'm on the New Testament, the Gospel according to Mark, on chapter 5/The Gerasine Demoniac.

I'm on Mark 8. What's nice about my Bible is that it's got a ribbon attached to the spine so that I can use it as a book mark so I don't get lost.

Btw my Bible is called "New American Standard Bible" which is the one my best friend Angela picked for me. She said it's one of the best ones and she was the one who helped bring me back to the Lord btw.

My church group is doing an in depth study of James, so that is what I am reading. I have been using "The Message" paraphrase of the bible. Due to it being written in modern english, "The Message" has really revived my interest in the reading the bible (which is good!).

I am reading here:

Part of my general plan to reread the Old Testament now that I'm an adult. I actually have all the Writings and Prophets done, so I'm close.

I'm reading Mark, like lots of people seem to be doing, and as a family we're working (slowly) through Romans.

Someone once suggested opening my Quiet Time with the following:

Psalms -- you take what day of the month it is (say, the 15th), and you read the 15th, 45th, 75th, 105th, and 135th Psalm (i.e. keep adding 30 until you're out of Psalms). On the 31st, you read Psalm 119 (the really long one).

Proverbs -- you take what day of the month it is, and you read that Proverb.

I've added the daily reading from My Utmost For His Highest to that. Then, if I'm studying a book of the Bible, I'll go to that.

Remarkably, after doing this for almost seven years, I'm still finding new things regularly.

I'm currently translating the Gospel of Mark from the original Greek.

Now that's some serious work right there.

I'm currently reading through Acts...I'm in chapter 14
"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:16-18

"Sometimes we don't present the Gospel well enough for the non-elect to reject it."
- John MacArthur

"In the total expanse of the human life, there is not a single square inch of which Christ, who alone is sovereign, does not declare, 'That is mine'."
- Abraham Kuyper

"God the great Creator of all things doth uphold, direct, dispose, and govern all creatures, actions, and things, from the greatest even to the least, by His most wise and holy providence, according to His infallible foreknowledge and the free and immutable counsel of His own will, to the praise of the glory of His wisdom, power, justice, goodness, and mercy."
- Westminister Confession of Faith (Chapter 5, Section 1)

"The wisdom of God has found a way for the love of God to deliver sinners from the wrath of God all the while upholding the righteousness of God!!"
- John Piper

"Grace is the pleasure of God to magnify the worth of God by giving sinners the right and power to delight in God without obscuring the glory of God!"
-John Piper

"The very One from Whom we need to be saved, is the One Who has saved us."
- R.C. Sproul

"All of Christian life is ceaseless worship of God the Father, through the mediatorship of God the Son, by the indwelling power of God the Spirit, doing what God commands in Scripture, not doing what God forbids in Scripture, in culturally contextualized ways, for the furtherance of the Gospel, when both gathered for adoration, and scattered for action, in joyous response to God's glorious grace."
- Mark Driscoll

"Believers do not pray with the view of informing God about things unknown to Him, or of exciting Him to do His duty, or of urging Him as though He were reluctant. On the contrary, they pray in order that they may arouse themselves to seek Him, that they may exercise their faith in meditating on His promises, that they may relieve themselves from their anxieties by pouring them into His bosom; in a word, that they may declare that from Him alone they hope and expect, both for themselves and for others, all good things."
- Martin Luther

"I have to tell you first that I am ready to die. I have put my affairs in order. Your supreme weapon is killing. My supreme weapon is dying, because when you kill me, people all over Romania will read my books and believe on the God that I preach - even more than they do now."
- Dr. Joseph Ton, the exiled Romanian pastor (quoted by James Montgomery Boice)

"The best prayer I ever prayed had enough sin in it to condemn the whole world."
- John Bunyan

I am currently reading the book of James. It's amazing how much more I'm getting from this book now that I am an adult. All of the little minor details I didn't think were important when I was younger now jump out at me with real purpose.
[font="Tahoma"][SIZE="2"]"It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things."

My reading schedule has been thrown off for several weeks, but things should be returning to normal now. In any case, I finished II Chronicles. Only Ezra/Nehemiah and then my rereading campaign is complete.

After that off to the epistles, which should be interesting given how young I was the last time I read them. Unfortunately, I'm going to try to read each letter in one sitting, so my reading will be broken up significantly.

Well, being that I have VERY little free time, what with the job and kids and Metal Gear Solid and all... I have the daily devotional From Faith to Faith and there are selected scripture passages for each day, so I normally read the devotion, then the correlating passage, then usually THAT prompts me to read another passage... My faves for now are Psalms (David was pretty angsty, for a king, and his son had a few issues too...) and I always go back to Proverbs 31... and Ephesians, for dealing with my day to day life and how I should act toward my man, my kids, my family, my friends, coworkers, etc... good stuff. :)
