1.      Motivation – I will know more scripture and get closer to God.  I will have read through the New Testament in one year.

2.      Plan – Get a 5X5X5 New Testament reading schedule.  Set a time and place to do each day’s reading.

3.      Encouragement - Ask if someone will do it with you so that you can encourage each other.

4.      Social Plan – Text each other daily when you have accomplished the reading. Get together weekly to talk about what you learned. 

5.      Reminders – Put a Scripture verse on your mirror like “Your Word is a lamp for my feet and a light on my path.” (Psalm 119:105)  Put your Bible and schedule on the breakfast table so you see it first thing in the morning. 

6.      Reward yourself - Have a nice lunch with your friend every two weeks as a celebration.
