Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
But his delight is in the law of the LORD;
and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

5 May 1645: The Stationers' Company grant Robert Barker, printer a pension of 10s per month in exchange for his patent to print the Authorised Version of the #Bible. Barker was skint after his £300 fine for the 'Wicked Bible' in 1631 - which omitted 'not' from the 7th commandment
This Bible verse really helped me today:
Psalms 37:4-5 ESV
Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.
Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, and he will act. #Bible#Trust
The #Anglican tradition has a daily reading lectionary where you read 4 or so chapters each day and go through the NT 2-3 times in a year, and the OT once (depends on which lectionary you use.)
I've been doing this awhile, and had the habit down, but health made me focus on essentials for a time and I got behind for about a month.
In my catch-up phase, I decided to just treat the epistles as single-sitting readings.
And you know, I'll probably do this more often. There's value in chapter breaks, but honestly: if it's a two-page letter, it shouldn't take five days to read it (I'm looking at you 1 Peter.)
Anyway. Just stating the obvious: the #Bible is full of short stories and letters and small, concrete narratives. You should read them that way. That's how they were meant to be read!
30 Apr 1592: Cardinal William Allen sends Gregory Martin, priest, #Bible translator & friend of St. Edmund Campion to #Paris to consult doctors about his lungs. Too late - he returned to #Rheims on 14 Sept & died there on 28 Oct (SJO)

Have said it over and over, time after time: politics is the bane of Christianity. Politics is not a feature of heaven. The wolf in sheep's clothing today is a politician in a pastor's suit.
8 years after his predecessor vetoed a bill enshrining the #Bible as the official state book, Gov. #BillLee signed into law a measure making a version of the Holy Book one of #Tennessee's 10 official tomes.
The purpose was clear: to send a message that Tennessee favors #Christianity over other forms of worship, or lack thereof.
21 Apr 1597: Richard Bancroft elected Bishop of #London, later as Archbishop of #Canterbury, he oversaw the Authorised Version of #Bible project #otd (NPG) In London, he went on a drive to make ministers conform to the canons.
This is just a reminder that, in 1631, Robert Barker in London misprinted a famous line of the Holy Bible, namely „Thou shalt commit adultery“.
The forbidden copies with the famous slip sold well, and a few survived in our catalogues. The edition was called the Wicked Bible afterwards. #bookhistory#histodons#history#bible
