I would really like to do this, but with my reading for grad classes, I'm not sure I'd be able to keep up. However, if you could e-mail me the schedule, I'll at least give it a try. My e-mail is sastark at g mail dot com. Thanks!
(PS- this beats the heck out of 40 days of purpose! 90 Days of Scripture!)

I think I'll go ahead and follow this plan. I'm going to get my daughter to do it with me. Who knows what this might turn into here on the PB.

Thanks be to God for that Daysman the Lord Jesus Christ who goes betwixt God and us and lays his hand upon us both. (Job 9:33). It is especially in those times when the unbelief seems to be swallowing us up that we must look away from ourselves and fix our eyes on our precious Daysman.

Allright, folks - getting close to B-Hour!
Invite your family and friends and let's start the year off with a biblical bang!
Everybody make sure and update as soon as possible after the New Year begins what day you are on - just starting or an early bird!
Blessings!

Done reading one. Matthew 1's genealogy always reads like a "Previously on Battlestar Galactica..." for me!

I am in! Sad to say, I have never read through the Bible before, so this will be a challenge.

I finished day 3. I got my fiancee started on this too. We're going to try and do it 4 times this year, so we will have read Scripture front to back 4 times by the time we are married. |

Well...I finished Day 1. From the other comments it looks like that means I'm behind...even though this is Day 1.

I generally follow this Bible reading plan ESV Bible Online: Daily Reading Bible
I like it because it allows me to be consistent, and the small chunks allow more time for reflection.

It will be nice to read through with a fellow university student!

Could anyone else send me the email? I understand JD is in transit and may not have read my post with the corrected email.
Otherwise, I'll wait patiently...
Never mind...JD's all over it!

How is everybody doing? I am still reading ahead with the knowledge that there will be days I cannot read:
My highlights from day 4 -
Genesis:
"I will establish my covenant between me and you and your offspring after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and to your offspring after you. 8And I will give to you and to your offspring after you the land of your sojournings, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession, and I will be their God."
"For I have chosen him"
Job:
25For I know that my Redeemer lives,
and at the last he will stand upon the earth.
26And after my skin has been thus destroyed,
yet in my flesh I shall see God,
27whom I shall see for myself,
and my eyes shall behold, and not another.
Matthew:
"I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to little children; 26yes, Father, for such was your gracious will. 27 All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him. 28 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."
Blessings to ya'll! |

Seriously, though, part of the fun and encouragement is knowing that you're reading the same thing at the same time with everyone else. I understand that jumping ahead can be helpful and a personal mental boost, but if everyone is jumping ahead at different paces then we aren't really doing it as a team. And I certainly can't discuss day 4 and 5, or what have you, which are several days ahead of schedule, when I'm merely on schedule. Staying on schedule would also provide for better discussion, IMO. |

I hope everybody is truly being edified by the Word of the Lord as they read it for this new year. Let us encourage one another to remember to meditate upon what we read, and apply the biblical doctrines and principles to our daily lives.

What did others think of day 4?

"How you have helped him who has no power! How you have saved the arm that has no strength! How you have counseled him who has no wisdom, and plentifully declared sound knowledge! With whose help have you uttered words, and whose breath has come out from you? The dead tremble under the waters and their inhabitants. Sheol is naked before God, and Abaddon has no covering. He stretches out the north over the void and hangs the earth on nothing. He binds up the waters in his thick clouds, and the cloud is not split open under them. He covers the face of the full moon and spreads over it his cloud. He has inscribed a circle on the face of the waters at the boundary between light and darkness. The pillars of heaven tremble and are astounded at his rebuke. By his power he stilled the sea; by his understanding he shattered Rahab. By his wind the heavens were made fair; his hand pierced the fleeing serpent. Behold, these are but the outskirts of his ways, and how small a whisper do we hear of him! But the thunder of his power who can understand?"
(Job 26:2-14)

I have a quick question. I am a theology student, not a mathematician, so, on a calendar would you repeat the reading date every 90 days or every 91 days?

I have a few documents/files for the effort. The first is an ical file that can be imported into Google Cal and Apple's iCal (I am not sure about MS Outlook). Please inform me if there are any mistakes or changes. The iCal file may be localized to my Time Zone.
The second is a good old 2008 Calendar that can be used to cross out the daily effort. 90 Reading Plan 2008.pdf 90 Bible Schedule.ics.zip
