Starting the New Year with a Plan

I believe the most important thing we can do to grow in our journey with Christ is to regularly read and reflect on His Word. I urge you to pray about developing a consistant plan to read through the Bible. Don’t just talk about doing this, develop a plan on how you will accomplish it. Here are some different online tools you can use to help you start reading. I’ve even included a couple of pdf files that you can download and print out.

Remember, everyone ends up somewhere, but only a few people end up somewhere on purpose! Let’s not only make a commitment to reading God’s Word, let’s make a commitment to obeying what we read.
