He shows them what it looks like to be people of light and life instead of people of death and darkness. This plan takes us through 1 John and how to live in the face of distorted Christianity.

The communities Apostle John pastored were filled with internal dissensions, false teachings self-claimed to be from the Spirit, and fake Christians who had depraved lifestyles. John wrote these letters to call readers to focus on the truth, discerning between the true and false teachings and between Christian and un-Christian behavior. The church door is open to all, but having the discernment to single out the pseudo-Christians is especially important.

Created by Dr. George Guthrie, this plan takes the material of the Bible and organizes it to flow in chronological order. Since exact dating of some materials or events is not possible, the chronology simply represents an attempt to give you the reader the general flow and development of the Bible's grand story. Some passages are placed according to topic (e.g., John 1:1-3 in Week 1, Day 2; and many of the psalms). There are six readings for each week to give you space for catching up when needed.

The 4+1 plan is designed so that you will read in 4 different places in Scripture each day ( YouVersion will often list the chapters separately; so "John 2-3" would be presented as "John 2" and "John 3 ") + a reading from Psalms. In using this plan you will read through the entire Bible in a year and through the Psalms twice. The advantage of this type of plan is that you will be exposed to various parts of the Old and New Testaments simultaneously, which will keep your reading very fresh and remind you of “the whole counsel of God”! The plan is “semi-chronological” at points, the prophets of the Old Testament and the letters of the New Testament placed in rough chronological order. I pray you will enjoy your time in the Word this year!

It's paired with a devotional for meditation to guide you through enjoying the Gospel everyday.

An exile himself, Ezekiel prophesied to a people whose blindness and hard-heartedness had caused their own destruction. As the Lord’s glory leaves the temple (Ezekiel 10:1-3), we are reminded of the tragic consequences of Israel’s disobedience. Israel’s story, however, will not end in exile and judgment. Ezekiel prophesies of the day when God will cleanse his people of their sin, give them a new heart, and fill them with His Spirit (Ezekiel 36:25-27).
