“Bible before Blogdom”

RC at The Reformed Parishoner has added a link to an ESV reading plan to his site, as many bloggers have done. What’s particularly interesting, though, are his reasons for doing so. He calls the link on his site “Bible before Blogdom” to remind his readers that they shouldn’t prioritize reading blogs over reading the Bible. Some of us who read lots of blogs feel the weight of the RSS reader and consequently find it easy to skimp on Bible reading. RC reminds us to keep our priorities straight.

Here’s what RC has to say:

They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. I hope Doug Smith the proprietor of Gazing at Glory feels that way, because I lifted this feature straight from his blog. He chose to entitle the feature on his blog, “Have you read your Bible before you read your Blogs?” I chose “Bible Before Blogdom”, because of the cool alliteration. Also it fits better on the sidebar. It seemed like a wonderful feature and I hope it causes some blog readers, including myself, to set aside the time to read the Bible. I chose the plan incorporated by the ESV site. It uses a modified version of Robert Murray M’Cheyne’s reading plan and offers audio as well.

RC has chosen the reading plan based on the M’Cheyne system.
