Today’s blog is a collection of several miscellaneous thoughts and observations.
Several ministers have confided to me through the years that they struggle to keep their Greek current. One good approach for continuing to work in the text regularly is to use the 5×52=260 approach, working through a chapter a day, five days a week. One could easily develop a chart for this reading plan, and read the appropriate chapter, even when one misses certain days due to ministry needs, vacation, mission trips, etc.
I want also to mention that Jim Woodruff has suggested that it is helpful to alternate between the Gospels, the application of the gospel in Acts, and the encouragement given to Christians. This might include reading a gospel [16-28 chapters, depending on the gospel), reading Acts (28 chapters), and then reading 30-40 chapters in the rest of the New Testament]. This plan, used in a quarterly rotation with monthly segments, would treat the New Testament in a year.
With the information shared this week, perhaps you can develop your own personally-tailored Bible reading plan to meet the needs that you have in your own spiritual walk.
