"One of the greatest things a young Christian can do is to make a lifelong practice of reading the English Bible systematically from Genesis to Revelation over and over again." -- Paul Washer
In roughly 3 months, I'll be 17 years old. By that time, will I have wasted it? Will I have let 3 precious months slip right through my fingers, to never see it again? Paul Washer also wrote these words,
"Every day that you give to the reading of God's word will eventually add up to years of study and a wealth of biblical knowledge. Every day lost will reduce the size of that final treasure." So to begin to make it a lifelong practice, I have come up with a reading plan. Starting at Genesis and ending at Revelation. Infact, I started reading Genesis 3 days ago and I've already read through the first 36 chapters. At least 11 chapters a day is the plan. Because the Bible has 1,189 chapters, that means in 109 days, of reading 11 chapters, I would have read the whole Bible for the first time, in roughly 3 months! Now if I read more then 11 chapters a day, obviously 109 days will shrink lower. I might also say that reading 11 chapters usually takes from 1-2 hours.

Paul Washer has been one of the biggest influences that has shown me real Christianity. He currently serves as the director for the Heartcry Missionary Society. A link can be found in the links section.

I should say, that your blog is the reason I have started my blog. After viewing your blog, seeing how simple it is, how it is like a journal, I was inspired to create one myself.
