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.

What I found useful was the illustrated bibles, think they are the Lions published ones.
Also rose publishing is good for edification of Bible times.
Always read the Bible prayerfully and you can always ask the .Author for help. USually what happens as you keep reading, adding precept upon precept, line upon line, scripture that at first is a puzzle becomes a beautiful picture of Gods love for His creation.

Good advice. I also just recently put the entire Bible on my mp3 player and when I'm working around the house or yard I just listen. My goal is to listen a number of times to the entire Bible in addition to personal study. It's a difference experience just listening.

Yes, i would recommend alexandra scourby reading of KJV as hes measured and slow if you want to hear that version, some of the audio bibles they read it too fast or insert annoying music.
The bible is meant to be read out loud, and shared theres nothing wrong with gathering a group together and simply reading out loud and listeneing to each other read from it.
Another help also I found useful was Essential 100 which was also a study going through 100 chapters of the bible. 50 from old and 50 from new. But its best if you read the whole Bible first so you dont miss out anything. It may take a year or so depending on how fast at reading you are!

I think I'm signed up for that from here: https://www.bible.com/sign-up?redir...ntial-100?id=25-the-essential-100&source=plan
My MP3 bible is nararrated by Stephen Johnston. He does a good job too. It's ESV. Also this one I have and it's free: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/bible.is-dramatized-audio/id378075859?mt=8
It has a straight reading version and a dramatized version. I do a lot of listening while commuting.

That is a prayer that you can certainly pray when reading God's Word. The Lord hears our prayers.
The bible says that the 'natural man' cannot understand spiritual things. Before reading the bible pray and ask for the Holy Spirit to give you understanding. Pray and ask for the Lord to reveal to you His truth in His Word.

Hi; this is a highly important point, and I wish a lot of so called evangelists understood this: it's not a question of putting on 'sales' pressure in order to extract some profession of faith; rather, God Himself by His Spirit must work in the heart. Acts 16.14 speaks of 'Lydia, whose heart the Lord opened'. 'The entrance of Thy Word giveth light' (Psalm 119.130).
