New Reading System

This January I adopted a new reading system for my Bible reading. And I love it! It was devised by a professor at the Master’s College in Santa Clarita, Ca (John MacArthur’s school). My brother-in-law went to school and hence how I have heard of the system. Basically, it involves reading one chapter from ten different locations in the Bible. The point of the system is to get a little of the entire scope of the Bible in one sitting. You read one chapter from the Pentateuch, the historical books of the Old Testament, Psalms, Proverbs, the other Old Testament books of poetry (Job, Ecclesiastes, Song of Songs), the prophets, the Gospels, Acts, and the Epistles are divided into two groups.

I have absolutely loved this new reading plan. You get the entire scope of the Bible in one sitting and my knowledge and ability to maneuver the Bible has increased in just the three months I have done it. While before I might get to know one book really well, I am getting to know the Bible in it’s entirety. At any point I might be reading Romans, while reading the story of Joseph (Genesis 36 and on), while reading 1 Timothy, then reading the story of Jesus healing the blind man, then read of Joshua taking down the walls of Jericho (Joshua 6), then Isaiah predicting the Lord saving Jerusalem from the King of Assyria for Hezekiah’s faithful prayer (Isaiah 36-37), and read David declaring that the heavens declare the Glory of God (Psalm 19). It’s been amazing and I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to further their knowledge of the Bible.
