Today I signed up for YouVersion.com at the suggestion of a friend.  It happened to be my second such suggestion recently, so I thought I would check it out.  I had already downloaded the Android app for the my phone, which I was using as a Bible resource, when I found out I could be using both the online and mobile apps for my Bible Reading Plan.
YouVersion Reading Plans After browsing the many different reading plans I found one that is very similar to the one I have posted here from CBN.com.  The primary difference I have found between the plan I am currently on and the plan I signed up for (by BlueLetterBible.org) on YouVersion only has the user read from the New Testament once every couple days or so instead of every day.  This method requires the reader to read an entire chapter at a time instead of breaking up the longer chapters over a couple of days at a time.  I actually kind of like this better since it keeps you in the flow of the chapter instead of breaking it up.  I usually end up reading ahead (or catching up) when the chapters in the reading plan are broken up.

Bible Reading Plan - MatthewAt the beginning of this year I made several goals, one of those goals was to read through the entire Bible in one year.  In order to complete this task I found an online One Year Bible Reading Plan that I wanted to follow.  In my opinion, reading through the entire Bible at least once is absolutely essential, especially for those who claim to believe the Bible is the inerrant, infallible, word of God.  How can you really know unless you have read it for yourself?  The beginning of the year was the perfect time to get started.
