During the summer most of us tend to drift and coast, taking time off from various things and activities.  Taking a breather.

 

To answer the question, “How can I grow spiritually this summer?” is not difficult. To increase in relationship with Jesus, have a love for His
Word, and to build your life around Christ so you can be spiritually strong in the next season are great goals. Here are some ideas from Deeper Christian to help get started in July.

1. Read the Classics + biographies (CS Lewis, The Hiding Place by Corrie Ten Boom to suggest)

2. Read the New Testament and/or Bible this Summer (90-day plan)
o create a “90-day Bible reading plan” – take the number of pages in your Bible (or New Testament), divide by 90, and it will tell you
how many pages you need to read daily to finish by the end of the summer to set an amount of time to read – set aside 30-
60 minutes to read and read as far as you can in that amount of time (not worrying about how many pages). See how many times you
can read through the New Testament or how far you can get through the Bible. to consider reading chronologically or using a different Bible translation

3. Entertainment - Take a  Fast (movies, video games, tv, phone apps, whatever you spend a lot of downtime on)

​

4. Watch a Christian/edifying movie - Angel Video Service, Pure Flix and Living Scriptures are suggestions.  Also use your Amber Church RightNow Media subscription

5. Pick a book of the bible to study and to saturate in this summer.  There are many helpful guides to download.  RightNow Media can also assist here.

6. Operation Secret Things (give notes, gifts, etc to encourage others.)
