Gene Edwards may be some good reading for you as well. His publishing site is http://www.seedsowers.com/
His books are scripturally perceptive. When I start reading, it brings the scripture and its Truth to light. Not a substitute for the Word, but it can possibly stir a greater desire in you for the Word.

Galatians 3:19 - What then was the purpose of the Law? It was added because of transgressions and [to make men more conscious of the sinfulness] of sin; and it was intended to be in effect until the Seed (the Descendant, the Heir) should come, to and concerning Whom the promise had been made. |

Reps: 850 (power: 0) | | first of all: you are not alone. i although have and had a lot of problems to read my bible regularly. my life is always changing, in the moment i donīt even have my own room - so itīs quit hard to set an special time. and lately, since i have my own pc, i donīt even read other books.
sometimes i wished we would have the bible not only in the normal written type. i mean we are always watching something, novels are written much more in our language - and even the newer translations, like new living, are written like an typical bible. do you know what i mean? although, in english you have much more tools to use, than we over here.
what i do when i feel guilty - i just talk to god over it. he knows every single bit of me. he understands why iīm not abble to do it, and that i really want to please him. and than i start again. over and over again. but over the time, i read more parts of the bible.
ok, thatīs my last post for today. itīs almost 12 pm - and i still have to read my bible. good night...  |

There may not be anything wrong with you . The Spirit may not be leading you to do that and you are thinking that you "should" because of law and not Spirit . Have you thought of merely using the time to discuss things with Him instead of bible study when you aren't in the mood to study ? |

If I had to read King James only I would have shot myself a long time ago. There are two simple prays to help in this matter. Eph. 1-16,17,18,19 "open the eyes of my heart" and James 1-5 "wisdom". You will not get anything out of the book if it becomes a work.
LOL!! I would find it more satisfying to shoot the book a few times instead of myself . 
I completely agree with that last sentence of yours . |
