The Daily Bible Readings for 2006

This Daily Bible Readings system is based on the following rationale:

1. It will help you to read through the entire Bible in two years.

2. Each day you will read one chapter of the Old Testament, one chapter of the New Testament, and one chapter from the Psalms. (Near the end of the year, I have to move things around so as to get through the whole Bible in two years.)

3. During most of the year, the readings will go in the order in which they're found in the Bible.

4. During special days or seasons of the year (Advent, Christmas, etc.), the readings will reflect appropriate themes.

Though it's a great thing to read through the entire Bible in order, let me add two pieces of advice:

1. If you fall behind by more than a day or two, go ahead and stay current. Folks who try to catch up by more than a day almost inevitable stop reading.

2. The point of Bible reading isn't to "win" by reading the whole Bible. The point is to grow in your relationship with and knowledge of God.
