Daily Verse | Revelation 16:18-19
Then there came flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder and a severe earthquake. No earthquake like it has ever occurred since man has been on earth, so tremendous was the quake. The great city split into three parts, and the cities of the nations collapsed.

Friday’s Reading: Revelation 17-19
Saturday’s Reading: Revelation 20-22

It’s Friday and the last day of 2021. I don’t know what 2022 holds, but I expect more of the same as 2021. We still have an illegitimate junta occupying the White House, our country is in economic shambles, the Chinese Lung Pox continues to thrive, China, Russia and Iran are threatening our safety, and creeping Marxism continues to solidify its grasp on the once-great institutions that held our nation together.

It’s not looking good.

That’s why starting each year with a focus on God and his revealed Word is essential to maintaining my sanity and reminding me of what truly matters. When the world burns—and it will—the only thing that remains stable and sure is the eternal God and his Son, Jesus Christ, who “is the same yesterday and today and forever” (Hebrews 13:8).

One of the things I started doing this year was adding a “Daily Verse” to the top of every post, and then I started adding the day’s full reading, too. I plan to keep up that practice in 2022, and I invite you to join me in reading through the Bible next year.

Below is the updated Bible reading plan, which runs six days a week, taking you cover-to-cover over the course of the year. If you’ve never done it, I strongly encourage you to do so. Even if you’re not a Christ-following believer, but are curious about the Bible, you’ve got nothing to lose and everything to gain by reading through it.

Part of what motivates me to read through the Bible (again and again) is that it is the source of what I say I believe. To say I believe what it tells me but not to know what it says is irrational. Plus, I don’t want to stand before the Lord someday and try to explain why I wasn’t regularly familiarizing myself with his written Word and letting it guide my thoughts and actions.

So, without further fanfare, here’s 2022’s One-Year Bible Reading Plan, developed by yours truly. It starts on Monday, January 3, and finishes on Saturday, December 31. Print it out (you don’t have to print the calendar on the second page to use the plan, but I included it since having a calendar handy is sometimes helpful) and have it ready to start on Monday.

As we pull the curtain on 2021, thank you for reading the blog this year. I sincerely appreciate the kind words, the questions and the comments you sometimes leave for me. My goal is to bring you the latest developments of any consequence in faith, culture and politics, and offer my (admittedly partisan) view on them.

I wish you all a very Happy New Year and look forward to continuing the conversation.

Blessings. Have a good weekend.
