Hi friends I'm Annie F Downs. Let's Read the Gospels.

Y'all next Tuesday like a week from today the Let's Read the Gospels

guided journal lands in Target stores. I cannot believe it. It includes a brand new reading plan

that we haven't done before with all new questions and journal prompts for you to

answer along the way. If you're looking for an Easter gift or if you're

mentoring someone and want to go through this together,

that would be a great gift to grab.

You can pre-order, let's read the Gospels now, wherever you loved my books, or just pick it up and

target next Tuesday. That is so cool cool and also we will be reading in

that order the order that is in the book we've never done before here on the

podcast the month of April so we can all do the journal together. Okay, let's read the Gospels. The Gospels are the first four books of the New Testament in the Bible, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. These are the stories of Jesus Christ life on earth, the friendships, the parables, the sacrifices, the meals, the miracles.

So here is how this works. I'm going to read one chapter to you today.

You can listen or read along in your own Bible, and then I'll mention the verse that stood out to

me and then I'll pray and that's it. So today it's February 13th and I'll be reading

Matthew 7th from the new international version.

Matthew 7.

Do not judge or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged

and with the measure you use it will be measured to you.

Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?

How can you say to your brother let me take the speck out of your eye when all the time there is a plank in your own eye. You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.

Do not give dogs what is sacred.

Do not throw your pearls to pigs.
