M’Cheyne’s Bible Reading Plan Each year I adopt some plan for my daily devotional reading of Scripture. To be honest, I try to vary this a little each year to keep it fresh. Over the last year, I have been using a plan that Robert Murray M’Cheyne developed for the people that he pastored. It is helpful for several reasons: It leads you through the Old Testament once and the New Testament and Psalms twice during the year. It gives a variety of Scripture passages to read each day - historical, prophetical, and devotional. It divides the readings into readings for the morning and for the evening. It promotes a reading for private devotions and one for family devotions. It encourages the church family to read through the Bible together. M’Cheyne’s heart was to strengthen families and the church family, while deepening the personal devotion of each Christian. I can tell you from personal experience, that it has been a delight to follow. (Read M'Cheyne's full introduction to his system HERE). We have decided to make M’Cheyne’s plan available through Enjoying the Journey this year, with the prayer that God will use it to lead all of us to a life full of the Word in the days ahead.

Traveler’s Tales

Life is a journey. Those who follow the Lord receive encouragement and instruction from those that have gone before. In Traveler’s Tales, Greg Dowdy will guide us through stories of God’s faithfulness and wonderful work in this world. This Enjoying the Journey podcast is designed to engage the audience with remarkable stories and encourage them to follow the Lord more closely because of it. Join us for a new broadcast every Thursday morning.

Dr. Peter Marshall’s preaching, prayers, and counsel encouraged and guided many of America’s leaders through those dark times of trouble during WW2. But his story did not begin in the Senate chambers of the United States; it began with a humble immigrant who learned to be faithful in the waiting seasons.

While a sudden death cut his earthly ministry short, the lessons of his humility and perseverance carry on. Listen to the full account on today’s Traveler’s Tales.
