Day 763 of 1000

I am about half way through a plan to read through the Old Testament three times and the New Testament nine times.  After that, I plan to follow one my buddy, Jon’s plans.  I like my current plan, but there are a bunch of other plans I would like to follow including:

  • A read through the whole Bible in one year (sometime before I die)
  • A read through the Bible chronologically
  • A fairly large list of topical studies (I do that a little anyway)
  • A read through the Bible while keeping a map book of where stuff occurred

The Old Testament is great, but for some reason it seemed pretty dark this time.  Starting into the New Testament from that viewpoint has helped me realize a little better, the greatness of the Gospel, the good news.  The times and attitudes of our day here in America and around the world do not seem so different in many ways than the Roman world of Jesus day.  I am looking forward to moving into three reads in a row through the New Testament and the hope that is uniquely found therein.
