Connect the Testaments

Much of what we learn serves an immediate purpose, but God’s Word has eternal value. That’s why it is vital that we seek his Spirit daily through prayer and Bible study. Connect the Testaments is designed to help you in your daily pursuit of God by illuminating Scripture through daily devotions.

Connect the Testaments is a 365-day devotional with a custom reading plan that covers the entire Bible over one year, explaining difficult and complex passages along the way. Each day you’ll read from the Old Testament, the New Testament, and poetic literature. Daily devotionals offer insight into the text and explanations for difficult passages, revealing how the Scripture passages are connected—as well as what those connections teach us about living for Jesus. Thought-provoking questions help you reflect on how you can apply each passage to everyday life.

Top Highlights

“We often associate waiting with inaction, but waiting is faith in action.” (source)

“Jesus emphasizes that the pursuit of Him isn’t lethargic, or merely emotional, and it isn’t cerebral. It involves pursuing Him with all of our being—in a posture of humility, with an ear that hears and a life that is changed. It involves complete surrender to His will.” (source)

“Discernment allows us to know God’s will and perceive the decisions He would have us make. Knowledge helps us to understand God Himself, primarily His character.” (source)

“When we use Scripture for our own gains or battles, we are acting like Christ’s tempter—not Christ. We might think that we are defending the gospel, but if it’s not about Christ’s virgin birth, suffering, death, resurrection, or continued presence in our lives, it’s really not about the fundamental truths. It’s about our battle—about what we want. Instead, let’s act more like Christ. Let’s use Scripture in the proper context, balancing it with other Scripture.” (source)

“Success achieved through force may look like strength, but it’s actually weakness. The distinction of great leaders is their ability to rise alongside those they lead, not over them.” (source)

    Is the reading plan catering to Catholics (full canon 73 books of the bible)?

    I've used this for two years and found it a useful way to get through the entire Bible in a year.

    I have been using this as my daily devotional every morning before work and highlighting key words (from the NASB Inductive Study Bible) and phrases. I like how it combines three Bible passages per day, two from the Old Testament and one from the New Testament, and how the devotional correlates with much of the scripture passages. I also like the fact that this devotional is more bible-centered and has real life application questions to make you think outside of the box. I also love being able to use the various Bible study tools within Logos to either confirm my understanding or gleam a better insight of the Bible passages read. I highly recommend this Devotional to anyone looking for a good Bible reading plan.
