Bible reading plans

One of the best things I ever did was read through the Bible in a year using the Discipleship Journal Plan. Reading each day from different parts of scripture is the only way to discover what the Westminster Confession of Faith describes as "the heavenliness of the matter, the efficacy of the doctrine, the majesty of the style, the consent of all the parts, the scope of the whole."

For those with less time another good plan is the 5x5x5 New Testament Plan. I followed this one in 2009.

This year for something different I'm going to use the Read Through the Bible Program for Shirkers and Slackers. It allows for more flexibility than the Discipleship Journal plan while keeping the same goal of reading from different parts of the Bible throughout the week.

If you need more options check out the impressive array of ESV Bible Readings Plans.

Whichever plan you follow, or even if you don't use a plan, I hope you'll be digging into the Word in 2010!
