The Lists

So when the new year arrives, most people try to have some kind of resolution. There are the usual lose weight, stop eating sugar that sort of thing. For me, my resolution isn't really a resolution at all but something that I should be doing anyway. My goal is to get on a daily Bible reading schedule. I also want to be able to read through the Bible in a year. I dont want something that I just read through and dont learn anything from because I want to be able to have more Bible memorization as well.

I was thinking about it one day and I decided to check out a website of a friend, Pastor Dave Most. He has a Bible reading system posted on his site. This system is not his own but the system of Professor Grant Horner. This system is very unusual but from what I read about it, it is very effective. It is called, The Ten Lists Bible Reading System. You can find it here: www.fggmm.com under Bible reading system. On this particular page, Prof. Horner challenges people to try it for just one month and see what happens. I tried it myself and shame on me for getting busy and falling asleep and telling myself " I will catch up tomorrow." I can say that reading 10 chapters of the Bible each day is quite productive and it was astonishing to realize that after 10 days, I had read 100 chapters of the Bible. By the end of the year, you will have read through the Bible more than once.

I am going to do this study. It is my goal as a Christian and as a mother to study God's Word so that I may better be an example to my children and teach them God's way and I need to start by being the example when it comes to my own Bible reading.

Please check out www.fggmm.com and read the page on the Bible reading system. Follow Prof. Horner's suggestions such as pick one Bible for your reading and use just that one. Get some bookmarks so you always know which chapter to read next.

Also, Pastor Most has live webcasts as well so if you ever find yourself home on a Thursday night, feel free to tune in. If you find you are unable to attend a webcast, Pastor Most has many sermons posted at www.sermonaudio.com. These sermons are free to download. All they request is that you enter your email address. Pretty easy request in my opinion, and all sermons are FREE! I have been blessed by these sermons and it is one of Pastor Mosts that influenced my decision to not listen to rock music anymore and I have indeed been blessed by that. Its refreshing to listen to praises to the Lord and not a song about worldly things. Not only is it refreshing but I find myself in a better mood.

Again, I am challenging myself to this Bible reading system but I would also like to challenge you. Keep me updated! If you start this system even for a week, please leave a comment on how its working for you! I would love to hear about it!
