Thirty-nine years ago this week the Supreme Court, in its landmark Roe v. Wade decision, swept away virtually all state laws restricting abortion in the first trimester of pregnancy. Since that time, there have been some fifty million little ones who've lost their lives here in the USA.
The scale of abortion woes is even greater in some other parts of the world, due in no small part to the particularly heinous practice of sex-selection abortion. Consider the 200 million missing girls.

Read the Bible in 2012
I've found, from my own mixed experience, that if I don't plan to read the Bible, I'm basically planning not to read the Bible. So I put together a Two-Year Plan for 2012-2013. The two-year pace is very do-able. I've set it up so you read one chapter each day on the weekends, and two a day during the week. If you start in and stick to it for 30 days, you'll build a habit that lasts.
I appreciate John Piper's words of wisdom about the need to plan--to prepare in advance so that we're ready to face spiritual challenges that will come. Planning to be in God's Word is right at the heart of this.
