Studying Your Bible, and then Finding Out Something New.

[iAlive]

It can be hard to commit, but how many of you Christians actually take the time to read your bible? Until a month or two ago, I've started reading the Bible, and even downloaded it into my E-reader to give myself more opportunities to study it. Sometimes, as Christians, we don't want to be found out for reading God's Word. Sometimes we're just lazy, but that's when we have to make ourselves read it.

Like I said, I've actually begun to read the Bible (KJV) and what I read is amazing. I can't believe how much I've missed out on, and the Bible seems to address almost everything.. you just have to find it. It even had something about table manners in the proverbs, ha ha.

I've been reading the Bible for the past 2 months.

i'm reading my bible everyday, well sometimes i don't but i try to everyday sometimes i don't let my self play any video games until i read my bible and pray(unless their is to much noise)(i like video games but i don't want to make video games an idol)

Keep up the reading, brother. We just have to remember to be doers of the word rather than just hearers. (Book of James talks about that.)

God bless.

I try to read my bible everyday but it's so easy to get distracted w social media and video games. I think those who struggle need to commit and unplug for a few days. Sometimes the media gets to the point where it takes you captive and you don't even know that your wasting your life chained to a screen on your device. We are all at fault for this.

I agree..

I'm guilty of video games. I've played them, However, as I got older, I began to put those things away. It just lost its appeal to me. Sides, it doesn't really merge well with my church life, and it isn't exactly something I could share with the congregation. I used to be a heavy FPS gamer, but like I said--I began to put those things away.

In fact, even this site can take the place of Bible reading and cause commitment issues. Or any other site, to be exact. (especially you, facebook.)

i TOTALLY agree i had to stop playing a certain game for a long time do a drastic change in my personality but now since i'm stronger in the LORD no video game can change me negatively

I read mine everyday, could be one verse could be one chapter. Doesn't matter. Just need something. Helps me set a goal for my day.

iAlive, what do you mean 'we don't want to be found out for reading God's word'?

God Bless

I was referring to how sometimes, as Christians, we get embarrassed when someone finds out we read the Bible. Sometimes, we don't want anybody to know. I probably should've worded that more carefully.

 

[ForJesusChrist]

Ah, I see. Not sure why it is that way. People think they are too 'cool' for church.

I never realized eternal life and peace, love and joy is not 'cool'.

God Bless

yep. we shouldn't be ashamed of it.. but to be honest, that was how I was at the beginning of my walk with God.

eventually, though, I got more bolder with my faith. Some people think I'm crazy for following God and all that, but I'm happy to be a 'fool for Christ.'

I need to commit my self to read my bible more often. My goal is to read the whole bible.

Same. I've never been a heavy gamer, just played some games here and there. I avoided FPS games where I could, strategy was a different story.
But still, I recently thought about having the goals in someone's life. Most of my classmates still play video games a lot but I see there's more then video games now. Having more spare time, gives me the opportunity to spend it by reading more of the bible. It's not easy for me to do it everyday but I am trying to come to the point where reading the bible will be a daily thing.
