Spiritual Disciplines only work when we add the “discipline” to the spiritual stuff. With that in mind, I want to share with you my plan for doing a couple of important things in 2008.
Scripture Memory
I’ve been a little too lazy in the whole Bible memory category over the last couple of years. But, thanks to Justin Taylor’s Blog, I have found a web site that looks like it is going to be very helpful in the process of memorizing scripture.
I visited this site, and created my own new account in about a minute. I elected to receive updates via RSS, though you can also have them emailed to you. And I have chosen to use John Piper’s “fighter Verse” set C program in the English Standard Version for memorization.
Bible Reading
I’m also borrowing from John Piper and Desiring God for this year’s plan to read the Bible in a Year. I emailed DG, and asked for them to send me the plan that they use, and they sent me the files which I will pass along if you are interested.
The great thing about this Bible reading plan is that it only lists 25 readings per month, thus allowing for us to catch up when we lag behind.
Both the memory verses and the Bible reading plan will be key sources for my Blog over the next year. I’d love to have any of you join in the process of doing this memorization or the Bible reading.
