Suggested Shortcuts for learning Christianity through reading.
As mentioned before; This Ministry is designated for the hard working person with very little free time on their hands. Sure, it's best to know the whole Bible and know it well. But, to get a quick grip on things and a really decent start try this:
First of all, you need to know the feeling in your heart.
What is walking with God, Jesus or the Holy Spirit? Answer: To do in life as they would want you to do. Love thy neighbor as thyself. Practice it. In the New Testament, Romans chapter 12 gives us a good idea.
As time permits, read one of the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke or John. Get to know just one of them and you'll have an excellent start. Use a small inexpensive paperback study guide found at any Christian book store. Mark is the shortest book yet very complete. Matthew is complete. Luke is excellently written, very complete and great for continuing on with Acts. John is good for continuing on with Revelation.
Read the beginning of the Book of Acts and you will get the sense of where Jesus left us.
Know Revelation, Find the time slot we are in now and breathe a sigh of relief. This has all been written before it has happened. God knows ahead of our time. You can be included in the Holy Trinity's Rapture before the first seal is ever broken in chapter 6 of Revelation (see "occur" page).
Now you will get a clear sense of what is going on and what is expected of you.
