Fret Not Yourself Because Of Evildoers
From the beginning is my advice. It helps to read how it all started so as to know why it progressed.

From the beginning is my advice. It helps to read how it all started so as to know why it progressed.I want to start with something to help me really believe. Words of Christ maybe. But I don't know where that would be. I know it's New Testament but that is all I know.
Hi; I knew a married couple that had read a chapter of Proverbs every day for many years!I have very different from others, but let me share how my mother trained us in reading God's word daily when we were young. She told us to read the Chapter of Proverbs corresponding to the date. There are 31 Chapters so one Chapter per day. This helped us build our quiet time. As for me, after almost memorizing Proverbs (I think I read it for 4 to 5 months) I transferred to Genesis.

Excellent suggestion!Oh, I hope I am first to post this... Start with the gospel according to John. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." That is one of the most profound statements ever made in the whole world, ain't nothing else like it, the wowness of it.
Excellent idea.Some churches offer a "Through The Bible In A Year" book that you can purchase or get for free. I suggest you attend a church and find one of those to start with a basic reading plan.
Otherwise I would say start with Genesis and read through the whole Bible gradually.
It's good to read the Bible daily and systematically.You can find some great reading plans online and Bible Gateway (app) has a reading plan.
I have it on my phone.
Its an important habit; the Bible can help in almost every situation; just flick to the concordance and away you go (search box if you are online or using an app).It's good to read the Bible daily and systematically.
It's good to look at a verse's context also.Its an important habit; the Bible can help in almost every situation; just flick to the concordance and away you go (search box if you are online or using an app).
I always saw reading the Bible as a chore; I love it now, listening to it, even better.It's good to look at a verse's context also.
Yes, feeding on the bread of life (John 6) is so important.
It's the believer's vital life: the Lord Jesus is the living and eternal Word and the Bible is the written Word, of which the Lord Jesus and His work and the Cross are central.I always saw reading the Bible as a chore; I love it now, listening to it, even better.
I could use one of those; may have a look online, perhaps Amazon or something.It's the believer's vital life: the Lord Jesus is the living and eternal Word and the Bible is the written Word, of which the Lord Jesus and His work and the Cross are central.
A lot of ppl listen to CDs of the Bible while they drive.
I got one from the Psalms which I've sometimes listened to. Got it in the US, as I recall.I could use one of those; may have a look online, perhaps Amazon or something.

Good idea but a lot of memory work in that.PS: I know some preachers think it's good to get to know one's Bible so well that the concordance becomes unnecessary!
No substitute for daily Bible reading over decades, I guess...Good idea but a lot of memory work in that.
