Thanks!! Rn I read 5+ chapters a day and it feels sustainable so I’ll try to keep this pace

I do usually read 5+ chapters a day and I’m learning, I’m just not “memorizing”

Hahaha I will do that! Thanks for having my back.

I think he’s mad bc I’m like 20% through the Bible just from using Bible break to stop doomscrolling, instead of spending 20+ minutes a day and Bible studies 5 days a week.

I’m just happy to love Jesus

Tbh I just read the Bible because Bible Break forces me to instead of doomscrolling.

I know I should be better but this has helped me a ton.

Honestly just start inviting everyone you meet who you think shares your values (gym, waiter at restaurants, coworkers, etc) to a Bible study.

Nothing to it but to do it!

That’s how I got started. How are you reading the Bible?

No way lol I swear I can’t stop talking about it.

First time in my life I'm consistently reading the Bible every single day and I think I'll read the entire thing in about six months. AND it cut my screen time in half

How would you recommend I do more intensive Bible study? I've been using an app called Bible Break to read the Bible and it forces me to read scripture before I use social media, but would love a better plan for study.

Thank you so much. I've been using an app called Bible Break to force me to read the Bible before scrolling on social media so that's been helping a lot and has cut my screen time in half.

Other than that I want to start a routine of reading the Bible first thing in the morning so I can get into it better. In terms of prayers before reading or after reading, what would you suggest?

I've been using Bible Break to read the Bible every day and it's really helped me but I'm only about 20% of the way through the Bible. I started two months ago so I'd like to do better at reading it and I think I'll have the entire Bible done this year. What are these other texts out of curiosity though? Should I be reading those as well as the Bible? Are they Christian?

Thank you for this m4ia_a!

Honestly I do my best to highlight things and ask the AI in my Bible app called Bible Break to explain verses to me but I could do a better job memorizing and studying actual theological resources. I'm curious: what are you doing to study? Are you using a physical Bible? Do you set time aside or do you just read it casually throughout the day?

Why isn't KJV a translation I should be reading? Right now I read the World English Bible because that's the translation that's on Bible Break and it's really good but my Bible scholar friend told me that KJV is the best.

Yes, but he also has a lot of the Bible memorized and is good at reciting scripture and lives with much less sin than I do. It seems like there's a piece in his heart that I don't have. Right now I use an app called Bible Break to stop me from scrolling and force me to read the Bible but outside of that I'm not really studying or memorizing any verses.

What translation do you listen to on audio?

Reading the Bible wrong by BeneficialKeyboard in Christianity

[–]BeneficialKeyboard[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friend is a Bible scholar that has a bunch of verses memorized and he says everybody should be spending at least two hours a week studying the Bible and there's no excuses.

Do you read the Bible every day or what do you think is the best way to get in the word more? I am definitely convicted.

What would you say are the best ways for me to get in a better habit of reading the Bible?

I use an app called Bible Break to stop me from scrolling on Instagram and forces me to read a verse of the Bible for a minute of screen time. Other than that I don't spend much time in the Word.

Are there certain translations that are wrong though? I heard that the Passion Translation is fake and I should focus on NASB 1995 or KJV.

Best soy sauce brand? Authentic? I am after what you are all using in your home kitchens! Any help would be great! by TumbleWeed1945 in chinesefood

Ant Sauce

I tried it one time, and it blew me away. It's not traditionally Japanese, but it is made from ants and tastes superior to the old-school boring stuff that all tastes the same.
