It is once again Resolution time. You know how it goes, over the past few days, maybe weeks, we’ve been determining goals that we hope to accomplish in the coming year. Sometimes we are successful at keeping them, while other times we never even make it out of the start gate.

May I suggest something for you to resolve to do this year?

The coming of the New Year is a great time to determine to read through the entire Bible. I’m not talking about reading through a plan in order to check off the block everyday. Rather, I’m speaking of reading with purpose and with intent to know God and His Word more.

Justin Taylor over at the Gospel Coalition has put together a great list of yearly reading plans along with some information on the importance of reading with a plan. 

Additionally, YouVersion has some excellent reading plans.

I’m committing to the M’Cheyne One-Year Reading Plan. Mainly because it greatly adaptable to a family devotional setting.

So, what do you say? Who wants to pick a plan and hold each other accountable to the task at hand?

This new song by Sanctus Real leads to a lot of conviction and challenge within me.

Here’s the thing, lately the Spirit has pressed into me the reality that there is an overwhelming lack of God-fearing Christian men. I guess, you could really say a lack of God-fearing people. I’m thankful that my life has been one that is surround by men who radiate a godly lifestyle and challenge me in their actions. Several of which call me their pastor when I know that the ways they have lead me is far above anything I have to offer them.

When I look at the husband that I am, the father that I am, and the pastor that I am, I concede that the room for improvement is incalculable. Ironically enough my wife, children, and the people who call themselves Crossroads, deserve so much more than waiting on me to figure it all out. I’m thankful though, that God has surrounded me with men and women who are patient, children who see no wrong, and a Savior who still believes there is something in me worth redeeming.

So go ahead and watch the video. Cry a little. Then say a prayer with me that God would lead us, so that we may lead others and His name would be glorified.
