  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I read 4 chapters of Bible while walking for 3 km. in Gym
I get a lot of teachings from Bible while on the treadmill.
That's good. It's amazing how much you can get done if you commit the time to it.

No but I usually listen to the Bible or a sermon on an mp3 player when I go on a walk. I got an mp3 CD of the KJV read by Alexander Scourby and put it onto a mp3 player.

What chapters did you read?

Hi @johnnywong, I don't read while I'm working out, but I do "listen" to the Bible or sermons/lectures when I do (and I keep a pad of paper and pen nearby to take note of the things that I'd like to review later).

I can make it through the entire OT/NT in 3 months by listening to it for 45 minutes per day during my workouts. In fact, I never read 'through' the Bible anymore, because listening through it is so much more efficient (for me anyway). Whenever I try to read through it now, I always end up taking too much time studying it instead.

I have the Bible on CD, but you can listen to it at a number of places online for free now, like here: BibleGateway.com: A searchable online Bible in over 150 versions and 50 languages.: Audio

I mainly read the Bible at breakfast. I can't start the day without a good breakfast, so I found I naturally read the Bible more if I always leave it on my dining room table. Of course, I also have spilled things on it... So it's not a foolproof plan! I wad forced to paint the edges gold with a paint marker because it was so obviously stained by a cup of hot chocolate I dropped on it...

When I run, I actually do it in total silence usually. Music throws off the rhythm of my breathing I find. But running has been very hard for me to pick up, so I always start out with asking God to help me complete my goal. So far it's worked without fail and I've set many new personal records recently!

I think many of us go to Gym everyday.
Some may be "forced " to see the TV provided by the Gym.
I think it will be better to make it a habit to see the Bible at that time.
On one side to train the physical bpody , the other side training the spirit.

What chapters did you read?

Usually I read 2 chapters from OT, 2 from NT.
I divided the OT to 2 parts: one is the history , second is the rest;
NT to 2 parts: one is the 4 Gospels all about direct teachings from Jesus, second is the Others.
There are about 1200 chapters in the Bible. I can finish the bible within 1 year on the treadmill.

If the TV's too loud, get an MP3 bible.
