SOAP is changing the people at South Pleasant Grove. This new way of reading and thinking about Scripture has come to us from Honolulu by way of Bishop Dick Wills. The basic idea is to read from the Bible daily-- and not just a little passage or two. The SOAP schedule presents the reader with at least 3 and no more than 5 chapters every day.  Wayne Cordiero's LifeJournal The journaling records your impressions of the scripture and any observations you might want to make. Next, you record the application that the passage is suggesting for your life, and close with a written prayer. If you register to use this website, you will find a link in the SOAP menu to the Pastor's Online SOAP Journal. This might give you insight into how the journaling process works. To register, simply choose a login name and a password you can remember. Before you register you might want to read two articles. One is our Privacy Policy. The other is our answer to Frequently Asked Question, Why do I have to log in to use your website? Detailed guidance for the SOAP process can be downloaded from the Instructions link to the left. Print your own journal pages or view and print your own schedule of readings from the DOCUMENTS link at the top of the page. The idea is not to wrestle with the technical problems of Greek and Hebrew language. Instead, the words speak for themselves--informed by the scholarship of the disciple to that point. The passage "reads" the disciple as much as he or she reads it. Commit to just seven days of reading and journaling. Then decide if this method of Bible study is the most meaningful undertaking you've ever found. May God bless you in your journey!
