Join a Bible reading plan with me!

Want to try something hard but rewarding? (No, it's not climbing a tall mountain and then watching the sunrise. Well, it's sort of like that.)

Start following a Bible reading plan this year! This is helpful for me, because if I didn't try to follow a plan, I'd end up just reading random parts of the Bible. And/or reading Romans over and over again. (Not that there's anything wrong with that, but there's also a lot more that God has given us.) Here are a few different Bible reading plans you can choose from and/or modify.

You can't get "brownie points" with God by doing this--Jesus died and rose so that we would be completely accepted by God, even though we don't deserve it. So we don't need "brownie points," and you can't get them by following a Bible reading plan. But you can get a lot of blessing through this. You can get to know God better through this.

Want to follow along with me? I'm doing Year 1 of this plan (which, for those of you keeping track, is the M'Cheyne plan cut in half). If I follow this plan for two years, I'll have read through the New Testament twice, the Psalms twice, and the rest of the Old Testament twice. Follow along with me, and we can talk together about what we're learning!
