Who carries and where do you take it?

[trinityisunity]

Who carries their Bible where ever they go? Do you have one stashed in your work desk or work place? Do you keep one in the car/truck? I heard recently from a Uniting Church minister that people turn up to his Bible studies without their Bibles.:confused:

He then mentioned that Baptists would not go anywhere without their Bibles. I keep a couple of Gideon N.T. in the car for giving away or to read while waiting in the car for the wife or kids, etc. I am glad to say that every Bible study group I have ever attended everyone has brought a Bible. That is why you go is it not to read and study the Bible???:preach:

[rainbowpromises]

I keep one by my bed and one in my van. Every time I buy one for my purse I end up giving it away.

I will take it in with me to read while waiting at dentist, doctor, mechanic, etc. I also keep a flashlight in the van in case I am waiting in the van for someone.

I have two that go with me everywhere. The Hebrew/Greek/English Interlinear and my trusty old King James.

God Bless

Till all are one.

Im glad I found this thread. Because of yall, I shall e carrying mine in my work bag. Thank you for the inspiration.

[holyrokker]

I keep one in my car. The one on my nightstand comes with me to church.

Hmmm...dare I be honest here and look really bad? Why not!

I don't really go too many places....grocery store, occasionally the doctor, and other various errands/chores/events that come up. I confess I don't think to carry my bible with me to these places.

Now...to church? Always. To bible study? Always. And...in my home I have about three availabe at various locations to grab and look at. I also keep Bible Gateway (www.biblegateway.com) readily available on my computer so that I can look up scriptures, keywords, etc...

My dh has a bible with him at work and often carries the same bible in his car.

I never carry in a bible, although I think I have a bible with the proper small frame auto cutout.
Just kidding.

I have a bible in my car, one in my Harley and one in my laptop case. I have several pocket bibles but I don't wear clothes with extra pockets, so I really don't use them much.

I recently started taking my Bible with me in the car on workdays. It just makes me feel better having it there just in case I need it in times of stress, and knowing that I can take some time during my lunch break to read some scripture is like a mental pillow throughout the day.:thumbsup:
And I never leave home on a Sunday morning without it.

Peace.

I always have one when I have my PDA.

Beyond that I don't take one every place I go. (Like to the store or the restaurant)

[-~Truth_N_Trust~-]

Well, I'm a SAHM now, so I don't really go to too many places...

When I was a student and working I used to carry one in my bag with me everywhere, I used to read it on the train commuting (the conversations it started! :swoon: :D) And I used to read it at work on breaks.

Now I'm at home there's bible's everywhere! :P

[arunma]

I have one of my Bibles in my backpack, so it pretty much goes everywhere with me.

[BetaMan]

I have 3 versions on my Cellphone/PDA and I carry Bible in book form in my car, AND I have a GoBible (MP3 player with searchable Bible)

[Izdaari]

At home of course, and on my computer (Bible Gateway and the NET Bible). Also in my car and in my backpack. I have a pocket ESV New Testament with Psalms and Proverbs that comes with me if I have a pocket or purse for it.

[DeaconDean]

The Bible is my "Christian Express;" I never leave home without it!"

God Bless

Till all are one.

I have an NLT that I got on accident. Someone suggested to me to get an NASB, but when I got to the store, I forgot what initials he said and I thought NLT sounded right. Took it home, marked it all up, so there was no exchanging when I found out I got the wrong one. I have really enjoyed this version though. I carry it everywhere, when I leave, its in the side pocket of my child's diaper bag. I feel wierd without it. I have several other versions at home, my pastor suggested I get the NIV-Life Application Bible, and I got one, but the application notes in it overwhelm me. I bet I have opened it twice. I really like my NLT, I figure once I give it a complete read through, I'll get me an NASB and read it next. My Bible generally goes everywhere with me. It is a security for me. Bigtime.

I also must admit, when I first seen the title of this thread, I thought it was referring to carrying a gun. lol. Although I love guns, the Bible is a far better weapon. :D

Greetings from your friendly neighborhood Methodist.

I have a KJV that I keep in my car, and I bought a pocket Holman CSB to take with me whenever I think I'm going to be somewhere where I'll have some extra reading time. Sometimes I work at places where it gets real slow and that pocket Holman has helped me through some boring shifts!

God Bless :)

Those of you that carry a bible to places, what do you do with it once you are wherever you are?

Well, I'm a stay-at-home-mom, and I live in a "geographical oddity" (20 minutes from anywhere), and with the price of gas these days, I hardly ever leave the farm. But I always take my Bible with me because if I need it, or want it, then its there. Most the time, it stays snug in the diaper bag. However, I debate some with my stepdad, or need to point out something to my mom, and it's been handy to keep with me. It's a comfort to have with me. If something bad happened while I was away from home, it would comfort me. I get anxiety attacks, and reading the Bible defences against anxiety. Basically, you never know when you might need it. You might be sitting in a waiting room at the doctor's office and someone strike up a conversation with you. I sure would not want to turn someone off from learning because I don't have my Bible with me.

I have several at home - one by my bed, one in the living room/kitchen/den, one at work - I don't, however, keep a Bible in my car other than on Sundays.

As an aside - the only times I don't lock my car is on the occasions when I leave my Bible in it. I figure if someone's going to steal something from my car, they'll need the Bible.

[trinityisunity]

Psalm 119:11, 'I have hidden Your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you'

It is beneficial to memorise Scripture because the day might come where you do not have a Bible on you or access to one for some reason or another.

Some people have learnt word for word complete chapters and books of the Bible!

I normally have at least 1 in my car. And as for work, I work at a Christian bookstore, so I have plenty to pick from.
