Today is a day of setting new goals, aspiring towards long held dreams, and setting resolutions. Below is a list of a few activities that you may want to put on your list:
- Our entire church is being encouraged to follow this Bible reading schedule. (FYI – while averaging 62 books per year for the last three years, President Bush also read through the Bible each year.)
- This poster gives a comprehensive plan along with syntax notes for reading through the Greek New Testament in a year.
- One blogger is encouraging people to read through the entire ESV Study Bible (including all the articles and study notes) in the coming year. He is even giving away copies to a few who agree to do it with him.
- I will be blogging on one Church Father a week in 2009, mostly to highlight their bravery and courage in the midst of difficult circumstances, but also to follow the wisdom of C. S. Lewis. Most of the people referenced can be read about in the book A Concise History of Christian Thought, which is worth reading as well. My brother Joel also recommends 131 Christians Everyone Should Know.
- I'm also reading through John Calvin's Institutes of the Christian Religion in 2009, just 4 or 5 pages a day in the mornings. See the bottom of this post for more info.
- Family Life is promoting a 40-day "Love Dare Challenge" for the start of 2009 to help breathe new life into marriages.
