Living Faith's Two Year Bible Reading Plan Starts September 1st, 2021.
As found in the 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith, we at Living Faith believe “The Holy Scripture is the only sufficient, certain, and infallible rule of all saving knowledge, faith, and obedience”. We are commanded to learn the scriptures (Col 3:16), to grow in the knowledge of the Lord (2 Peter 3:18), meditate on the scriptures (Josh 1:8), and teach our children the Scripture (Deut 11:18-19). So while our one year plan may be ending, we aren’t stopping!
About the two year plan:
Our next plan will be two years long, and will be two chapters a day, seven days a week. We will be reading one chapter of the Old Testament and one chapter of the New Testament (or a Psalm/Proverb) each day. The plan will take you through the OT once and the NT twice. As always, you can jump into this plan at any time. Don't be discouraged if you missed a book or two, we will come back around during our next read-through!
The goal of this plan is to have more time to spend for study, meditation, and family worship. Find a good study source (Study Bible or Bible Commentary), a pen and paper, and dive in as deep into the scriptures as you can each and every day. Let the scriptures interpret scripture. Memorize verses, chapters, or whole books. Men, lead your family in worship and read the scriptures aloud. Older children can read along at this pace as well. Reading only two chapters a day also allows you to add in daily devotionals or additional readings as you desire.
Two years is a long time! We will see children grow during this time, learning to read and understand the text at a higher level. Take advantage of this in your own homes, and keep teaching the Word to yourself and to your family. A great resource to add with your reading is the Family Worship Bible Guide, which includes questions and conversation prompts for every chapter of the Bible.
We know the value of daily reading cannot be measured, so we pray that you are blessed as you come to a deeper understand of our God and the Scriptures.
