We know by the Grace of God, His Word:
Saves Us
Frees Us From Satan
Sanctifies Us
Imparts Upon Us His Grace and Peace
Gives and Sustains Life

New Testament, each year focusing on the Gospel and N.T. Readings that are the focus of that year's Lectionary A,B,or C. When you reach the last chapter of the last book in a list – start over again. Rotate all the way through all the Scriptures constantly. Since the lists vary in length, the readings begin interweaving in constantly changing ways. Since the interweaving is constantly changing, you will experience the Bible commenting on itself in constantly changing ways -- the Reformer's principle of scripture interpreting scripture IN ACTION! After you’ve read any particular book once or twice, your speed in that book usually doubles or triples because you’re familiar with it and can move quickly and confidently -- because you are no longer merely decoding the text but thinking it through in the context of all of the scripture! Stay relaxed, focus, and just keep it moving. Moderate but consistent speed is the key. This is "gross anatomy" -- looking at the whole body; you're not closely studying organs or systems or tissues or cells -- it is not microbiology. BUT -- microbiology and the study of organs makes more sense when you know what the whole structure of the human body is like, and how all the parts, large and small, relate in perfect interdependence. After just a few days the reading gets much easier; in a month it will be a habit, and in six months you’ll wonder how you ever survived before on such a slim diet of the WORD. I would also strongly encourage you to get ONE Bible, keep it, and do all your reading in it, so you learn where everything is. If you keep switching Bibles, you ‘lose’ this intimacy with the text. Find a translation and format you like and stick with it. THIS IS CRUCIAL.
Read one chapter from each list each day; in one sitting or two.
Read quickly (without “speed-reading”) in order to get the overall sense. Read out-loud as fast as you comfortably can with moderate retention. You’re not studying deeply or memorizing; shoot for 3-4 minutes per chapter. At the end of a chapter, move immediately to the next list. • GET THROUGH THE TEXT – no dawdling, back reading, looking up cross-references!
You will be amazed if you stick with it after just 3-6 months how much of God’s Word is sticking in your heart and mind and God’s Word is becoming more living and active to you.
Don’t look up anything you ‘don’t get’ – real understanding will come through contextualizing by reading a LOT of scripture over time. Get through the text!
255 sessions over the course of the year, gives you wiggly room so you should never get behind, if you do, don’t cover yourself in sackcloth and ashes and quit!
The goal of this system is simple. To know scripture.
