New Thru 60 – Beginning September 1

August 29, 2011 in Access Church with 25 Comments

I’m excited to announce something I am doing. I hope you’ll join me in this adventure.

I’m reading the New Testament in 60 Days. We’re calling it New Thru 60. It kicks off on Thursday, September 1.

If you’ve been a Christian for more than a week, you’ve probably tried a reading plan. One of the problems I’ve had with Bible reading plans is that I’ll start strong, then miss a day, then miss another day, then I’m so far behind that I give up. One thing I love about New Thru 60 is this. The reading is relatively light – only about 4 chapters per day (about 15 minutes of reading), and there are 7 “catch up” days in the mix. This gives you time to catch up if you miss a day for any reason.

I’m asking God to clearly speak to me through this, and I hope you’ll join me.

Here are the requirements:

1. Leave a comment on my blog to let me know you’re in. I’ll be praying specifically for you every day of this.

2. After your reading, take a moment and leave a comment on Facebook or Twitter with a thought that stood out to you, and end your thought with #NT60 (for New Thru 60). It’ll give us a way to track what you’re learning.

3. Don’t read just to read. Prepare your heart every day. Ask God to speak to you through your reading. Remember this: We don’t read the Bible for information, but transformation!

I love you and am excited to do this with you!

Here is a link to the PDF of the New Thru 60 reading plan. Thanks to my friend Dave Clayton for the help on it!

    Hi Jason. I love the idea of #NT60, and if you’ll have me all the way from Atlanta, I’ll participate. Nothing like getting a good dose of the gospel!

    PS. Go Access! Jaclyn and I have to get down to Lakeland soon.

      It has been a long time. Let’s catch up some time soon. I’ll grab your number off the website and call the church office.

      In the mean time, we’re doing well. Kids (yes plural) are getting big.

      PS. You should add a “subscribe to comments” plugin for your Standard Theme. That way comments can be notified when someone responds.

    Excited to do this with you guys. Lots of other people have told me they’re doing it too. It’ll be fun to read the Bible together, then to compare thoughts with the #NT60 tag.
