A Bible reading plan for 2018

It is a good time to resolve to get into God's Word for 2018!

Dwayne and I both like using the YouVersion app on our phones. We can access different translations/versions and different Bible Study plans. We plan to use Solid Life "Whole Bible" Reading Plan for 2018, which is the same one we used in 2017. We like it because it takes us through the entire Bible in chronological order - so, for example, we read prophesy books at the same time as we read the history (think Kings and Chronicles) during which the prophet prophesied. It also takes us through the New Testament twice.

I am planning to change up the "study" approach that I've been using and take up the HEAR approach - Highlight, Explain, Apply, Respond - for 2018. Many of the members at our church have been using this over the past year and I'm excited to start it as well. For more information, check out this site:

There is a Bible reading plan called F260 that allows you to go through "foundational" texts in the Old and New Testaments - it is scheduled so you read 5 days a week - so you can use the weekends to catch up if needed. Here is a link to that plan:

It is also available on YouVersion - but on the app, it schedules the reading straight through the year... so you can just skip on the weekends and then use the "Catch Me Up" and "Shift Days Forward" on the app to get you back on the right days.

Let me know if you're going to be using the YouVersion app - and if you're starting a particular reading plan!
