I would like your plan for 2011. I read the bible last year in parts. Due to associates degree completion I started late about six months after our church body and was inconsistent missing here and there. I need an email or alarm. I do home health and read to the baby doll I worked for as she was going to heaven. It helped us both. I graduated in May and have commited to making this a lifetime practice. I was blessed with my birth Father in relationship last May and JESUS gave us an unbelievable relationship!!! After 43 years we have Love, and I forgave him easily for not being there all about JESUS!!!!!!! GOD bless you and your GOD works! Love Sheila some day a book!

Thank you, the format of your plan was perfect for me, as I was looking for a strictly OT Prophets reading plan. I printed your year long plan, folded it in thirds, and use it as a bookmark in my Bible as I cross off the chapters of the OT prophetic books. I looked through PAGES of plans, but yours works the best. THanks again for sharing. I found your blog through a web search for Bible reading plans.

The reason: Paul wasn't talking about speaking a human language outside of the church. The context was unknown tongues in private and in the church. And as far as we know Paul spoke only Hebrew Greek and Aramaic. That Paul spoke multiple languages, according to theologians, has no biblical support. And those who say there is no tongues today insist that because the word is 'language' whatever Paul was speaking about in Corinth had to be human language, need to consider this: There is one one word for whatever is spoken, on earth heaven or anywhere in the universe. The word is LANGUAGE.

I'm going to use Hank Hanegraaff's "Legacy" reading plan: http://www.equip.org/site/legacy_reading_plan And here's the explanation of the importance of this style of reading plan: http://www.equip.org/PDF/LEGACY_READING_PLAN_EXPLAINED.pdf One of my favorite things I like about it is in the Summer and Fall reading months. It has you reading the Hebrew prophets in the Summer and then right after that you jump into John 1,2,3, John and Revelation! The language used in these books is sometimes very hard to understand for the modern reader so jumping right into Revelation and John after reading the Hebrew prophets should really help seeing as these books draw heavily from the Old Testament prophets language. That's only one reason I chose this reading plan though. I strongly suggest reading through the second link I gave above and consider reading through the Bible with this plan in the future.

I read through the first three columns, but not the fourth. Dropping the fourth column eliminates the second reading of the NT and Psalms. Thanks for the comment. Denny Paul,

Thanks for the comment.

We all need to be in the Word daily, and we all need encouragement to be there. I have been using D.A. Carson's "For the Love of God: A Daily Companion for Discovering the Riches of God's Word" for the past year and a half, and plan to continue in 2010. Carson uses M'Cheyne's daily reading plan, and provides a short commentary on one of the four readings each day. There are actually two volumes of Carson's comments, the two offering commentary on different readings for each day. I have been using Volume 2, and recently purchased Volume 1 to use in 2010. At first, the four readings from different portions of the Old and New Testaments was a bit distracting (as opposed to reading four chapters from one book each day), but I quickly began to appreciate more and more how God's Word is deeply interconnected. Using the M'Cheyne plan will take you through the whole Bible in the year, and the Psalms and Gospels a second time. Some people, finding that the whole M'Cheyne plan doesn't give them enough time for meditation and prayer, just do half of the plan, taking two years to get through the whole program. Carson's volumes allow for this, with each volume focusing on one half of the M'Cheyne readings. God Bless! Thanks so much for the post.
