READING

The practice of reading through Scripture regularly to expose yourself to the width, depth, and breadth of the Bible.

IDEAS FOR PRACTICE

• There are many great Bible reading plans designed to help you read through Scripture in a set amount of time. For example, challenging yourself to read through the Bible in a year is a great place to start if you’ve never done it before. Consider inviting a friend or two to join you - this will provide some accountability, as well as a shared experience and opportunities for discussion.

• Typically, plans like these will not take you straight through from Genesis 1:1 to Revelation 22:21, but will have you read some of the New Testament, Old Testament, and Psalms or Proverbs every day.

• Consider using an app like the Bible App that includes reading plans, progress tracking, and reminder notifications.

• If you have a commute to work, a daily run, or any time when you can’t read but could listen, the Bible App can also read Scripture to you.
