Last year I went through a chronological plan, but this year I’ve decided to return to a trusty old friend: the McCheyne reading plan. For several years I went through a 2x McCheyne plan that would get me through the New Testament and Psalms four times and the Old Testament twice in a year. It’s been a helpful way for me to get to those lesser-known portions of Scripture regularly.

This year I was looking for something to incorporate into family worship. The McCheyne plan is great for this as well since two of his chapters are meant to be read as a family. This is a great way to provide structure to your family Bible reading. Print a PDF of the plan and start working through it with your family. I trust you will be richly blessed (yes, even as you get to explain all those “difficult” stories as well as read through Numbers and Chronicles!).

This was a very thoughtful and engaging discussion.

The figures show how far our culture has changed in just one generation. But interestingly, couples who live together still tend toward marriage. This trend distinguishes the U.S. from some European countries where unmarried couples may live together for decades without getting married or having children.

The fodder is the recent Doritos Super Bowl ad. He makes an interesting point.  Some of the things we laugh at as a society are some of the sadder points of our corporate existence.

Inka Leoni at My Modern Metropolis has written a post which includes some very interesting photos of what families throughout the world eat in a typical week. When your week’s food is piled up in one place, it makes you wonder how well you consider the health of your family. Let me humbly recommend Food, Inc. before you buy next week’s groceries.

Interestingly, disciplinary problems have all but disappeared. But one has to ask, is this really a productivity booster or are we further capitulating to the entertainment “needs” of today’s students?

What is most interesting is the response from the New York Times which capitulated to the study with the excuse that these successful abstinence education programs were “freed from the moralistic overtones and ideological restrictions.” Rector goes on to list three violated non-negotiables that lead to this sort of reaction.
