Happy New Year to the Saints of God!

A new year is always a great time to start something new. This past Sunday I suggested the following as a new year’s resolution: Resolved this year to walk with God, to follow Christ, to deny myself and abandon fleshly pursuits, trusting Christ enough to take up my cross and follow him, giving my life as a living sacrifice for my Lord.

In addition to this you might make it your goal to read through the Bible in 2009. There are many excellent guides that will help you keep track of reading the Bible in a year. I want to recommend that we commit to reading the Bible together using The Discipleship Journal Reading Plan. Copies of this plan can be picked up from the church office or from the table in the Welcome Center. The plan has twenty-five readings a month, giving time to catch up if you fall behind. It will guide you through four passages a day and it can be cut into bookmarks to keep in your Bible. Let’s join together and read through the Bible in 2009.

Internet users, the reading plan is also available online.

The bookmark format for this reading plan was put together by Bethlehem Baptist Church.
