Sensible Christians

"Seeing that the glorious bloodshed of Christ is not so impotent, as being of force to save the greatest sins and sinners, it should not be able to purge the smaller infirmities of the Saints, and if any think their prayers and obedience all but in fashion, this sense with grief showeth that it is not altogether in fashion, and the sense of this imperfection doth more please the Lord, then the imperfection doth displease him."

BIBLE READING PLAN
Think of starting a Bible reading plan this year. It is highly important to go through large swaths of Scripture within a relatively short amount of time so that you can get a more comprehensive view of his word and really know what you are talking about when you discuss with fellow Christians.
As the previous post says, we hope that this does not lead to formality, but should only be used insofar as it spiritually benefits. People often complain about "outward Christians", but that should not prevent believers from doing outward practices. There is no true believer that does not bear good fruit – if you are spiritual, it should show. Once we drop the outward form, we cannot expect the inward growth.
The picture of this post is a table from a Crossway article that shows reading speeds. Look out the full article here for ideas for a Bible reading schedule, or find a year plan online: https://www.crossway.org/articles/infographic-you-can-read-more-of-the-bible-than-you-think/

SECOND DAY OF THE WEEK
- Meditate on the sermons you heard
- Catch up in understanding what you read with a commentary if you didn't get something
- Meditate on the lessons you learned/resolutions you decided for the week ahead—that is, perhaps you noticed an area in which you need to change your ways in your duties
- Remember not to neglect your spiritual duties
- Get on your worldly duties and do not slack into laziness or pursuing vain things
- Re-read the chapters you read in Church some days in the week with new understanding
- Pray for resistance to all your temptations this week and run to God when you fall.

Happy 2025!
Remember to support each other this year and strive towards God. Keep up your spiritual activities, not that they would become a formality, but that we would be pushed nearer to God day by day. If you fail, don't give up completely, because that will just push you further away.
Let us pray for each other and seek the Lord while he may be found this year.
