A Chronological Plan and Accountability Group
By Pastor John Carroll | December 29, 2006
As a follow up to my previous post here, if you are looking for a plan to read through the Bible in 2007 you can find a good one developed by Dr. Benjamin Shaw of Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary at on the Greenville Seminary Resource web page. The plan is a PDF file that you can downloaded, print out, and put in your Bible.
This plan has you read in both the Old and New Testaments each day beginning in Genesis and Matthew. The difference is that as your reading progresses you follow a chronological order rather than the order in which the books appear in the Bible. When you get to the life of David, for example, readings from the Psalms are inserted. When you get to the Acts of the Apostles readings from the epistles are inserted where they should fall in the historical record.
I have been aware of this kind of plan but have never tried it. I am planning to do so this coming year for variety.
Have you decided to read through the Bible in 2007? Would you like to join an accountability group to help you keep going through the year and share some of the blessings gleaned from this daily discipline? I know, you don’t have time for one more meeting… but how about just keeping in touch by email and updating each week about how we are progressing?
If you are interested in being part of such a group, please let me know by emailing me (john.carroll@cckpca.org) or simply commenting on this blog.
