Let’s step into 2026 with vigor & determination to make each step a giant leap.
• "Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. Isaiah 43:18-19 (ESV)
• I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:13-14 (ESV)
• Put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds. Ephesians 4:22-23 (ESV)
• Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. 2 Corinthians 5:17 (ESV)

ESV = English Standard Version

Professor Grant Horner’s Bible Reading Plan

List 4: (65 days) I&II Thessalonians, I&II Timothy, Titus, Philemon, James, I&II Peter, I,II&III John, Jude, Revelation
List 5: (62 days) Job, Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon

• Read one chapter from each list each day; in one sitting or two. At the end of a book; go to the next book. At the end of the list; start it again. Do it in the order given above.
• Read quickly (without “speed-reading”) in order to get the overall sense. Read as fast as you comfortably can with moderate retention. You’re not studying deeply or memorizing; shoot for 5-6 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!
• There are different ‘kinds’ of reading: super-quick skimming, careful moderate-paced, studying the text, deep meditation. You should be between the first and second kind.
• Most people decrease their time spent and increase their retention after just two-three weeks! I now read and retain the entire text of Matthew in 35 minutes, Romans in 20, Genesis in one hour!
• 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!
• If you miss a day or two – ok, get over it, then keep going. Don’t cover yourself in sackcloth and ashes and quit! If you are wondering why you should read Acts (or Proverbs) all the way through every single month, then -- you've just shown that you NEED to read them that often!
•The goal of this system is simple, and twofold: To know scripture, and to love and obey God more!

Grow in GRACE!

Get busy living.

Change is a process! One day at a time. This is my 365-day challenge to encourage myself by writing down one goal, one agenda, or one strategy each day. Often, I will repeat a note; that’s because we need to remind ourselves to keep on going and working to overcome setbacks. They happen too often to all of us. You are invited to join in on my daily note-writing or to structure your own. My heart examinations and personal challenge to grow begins with a deep look at me, and why I function as I do. This is my plan to hold myself accountable to the foundation I know to be more durable than all the philosophies of life combined. I’m committed to my journey. I am sharing my objectives to achieve my greatest passion – encouraging others to live victoriously because of the grace given to us!

Welcome, and enjoy the journey!
