How often do you read The Bible?

[Droobie]

Is 'quiet time' a part of your life? Do you only open The Bible during a message at church? Do you read it at all?

[SenseiPiccolo]

24/7
(i wish)


actually maybe 5 hours a day MAX 7 days a week

:)

[AndiLynn]

A few times a week...I'm working on making it daily.

[dinkime]

a few times a week...

i NEED to make it daily! i have a chronological bible that you can read through in one year, but i am always behind now :(

[covenant914]

Daily, mostly Psalms and Lamentations. They help place me in the right frame of mind for my listening time (to God, of course). They don't help at all when it comes to my wife.

[edjones]

Hello Covenant and welcome,
ed

[Redeemed1]

daily, with the exception of the occasional sick day or ultra busy day. It is food for my soul, and I get hungry real quick without it!

[Snor Snor]

I try to read it every day but sometimes I either forget or just caught up in other things and become busy!

[tuffy]

I try to read everyday, but I miss on occasion. :(

[wildflower71]

I am a new christain and read the bible every day I love it.

[Mandy]

Welcome wildflower!

[*Inquiring Mind*]

i read mine daily...i could not live without it. Being totally consumed in God's word and allowing Him to teach you will bring you to unimaginable places you've never been. Also...i LOVE Psalms too *S*..lol its like a big poem to God and i can totally relate.

[Danimal]

Not as often as I should
Nowhere near as much as when I was first saved.

[tyler4588]

I read it daily.

I have a clapper, and it seems to go on a lot, when nobody claps. I use to read the Bible every time it went on, but I stopped after a while.

[Kkisjjang]

I do not read the bible daily. Is quite sad of me. :(

Now, I found the online bible site where I can read whenever. I should make it a habit to read it everyday. :clap:

[GraftMeIn]

I read my Bible daily, but do miss an occasional day. I read from both KJV, and NIV. I have read the entire NIV, and am working my way through the KJV and just can't get enough of either version.

[Joyce]

I read my Bible daily, it is usually the first thing I do in the morning. It's my spiritual breakfast. I try best to not go without it.

[Amatire]

oops, I think I lied, :( I think I said I read my bible every day.... hmmm

well I do try, but... lets be honest now, I probably read it once a week on a bad week, 3 or 4 times a day on a good week, so, theoretically I didnt lie, I just voted on a good week! ;) :D :P

[Superman53142]

I read it every day :)

I usually get a little midnight snack of soul food right before I go to bed, but I've been known to read it whenever and wherever I am :p

[Sophie]

I usually read it once or twice a day. Sometimes, my routine gets out of whack, and I don't do it. Often my day will be really crummy, and then I realize that I haven't spent my quiet time with the Lord. I really need it to get through the day!

[mistertee49]

Every morning before I go to work. It makes the day so much better!! ;)

[GodBoy809]

I read eveyday, atleast 1 book, sometimes i read as much as 5 or 6 books.

[livingforJesus-Shaun]

when i can i like to spend 15min to a houre reading it per day

[two feathers]

i read the good book daily. i greet the day with scripture and i finish the day with it too. i can't live without it.

[cenimo]

A pastor suggested getting a One Year Bible...
have been reading it for over a year now, this is probably the best way to get people all the way through the OT...

everyday is a few chapters from the OT, the NT, a Psalm, and a few lines from Proverbs...

[LeeD]

Need to improve in this area, as we all need the Word daily. 

[l33tace]

OH! every day! I start to feel like crud if I skip a day. Twice a day or more is even better. I got thousands of hours of audio's if I need it too! I keep my memory verses on my Ipaq too.

[SMELLY SHOE]

not to much,iam working on it though.

[babysongbird]

I read it a few times a week but trying to get a set time every day.

[Dawn Marie]

I don't read the Bible...

[aaron]

I used to, need to start up again. This forum helps me with scripture though because it makes me think about it.
Aaron

[thepalmtree]

I used to be more consistent in my devotional time. Am trying to get back to our daily family bible reading. Sometimes it's difficult to herd my family into one room. I feel early morning is the best time for bible reading, prayer and meditation.

[ladylove]

I am in a structured Bible study and have been in one consistently since 1990. It has changed my life. Praise God! :)

[cherylq]

And these things we wtite to you that your joy may be full. 1 John 1:4

I do read the Bible often but there is room for improvement.

I do attend The Bible Inst. I also do Sunday School teaching for women on Sunday. I need to read more of His Word at home.

[Akan]

A few times a week. However, I do have scripture cards at my desk and try to read those daily.

[Vladimir]

On a daily basis. I have read it through already thrice and still discover new and amasing things...

[357magnum]

I read daily most of the time.

[WorshipTheLamb]

I read it everyday like 4 or 5 pages at least.

[Doreen]

read it everyday atleast once a day though do have odd day where don't read it when things are hectic or something

I am a new christain and read the bible every day I love it.





  :wave: Me too!!  I read and study every day. I want to learn and understand as much as I can.

[Cecilia]

I don't read as often as I like but I'm going to try to read more. Most likely pausing on Psalms to reflect and such.

[good4u]

I read it consistently and regularly in the week. I am in a structured Bible Study. It made the difference in my growth.

[rssllue]

With my devotions I read a few passages daily at least, but I do not read it nearly enough. I need to spend actual quiet time with the Lord consistently. It SO affects everything about me and my day. But I do have a program on my computer called Mannakorn that pops up a scripture passage every 15 minutes so that is cool for when I spend too much time on here! God bless!

[Konnie]

I read it daily as part of my life.

[ngkingchi]

Every day I read it then i sing psalms, and pray

[bop1997]

DAILY!

[NotAshamed911]

I read the Bible daily, either first thing in the morning, or right before I go to bed.

[GlowingFirefly]

I read it during church because we always read passages from the Bible. I want to read my Bible so much more, but there are so many things going on that I just can't find the time sometimes.

[Alice the Sister]

I have it in my bathroom, makes a good read every now and then.

[sonicflood]

I voted daily, but i have to admit that some days I don't get around to it.

[Snowy]

not very often :( but I'm working on it!

[mesue]

Lately I've been reading my Bible every day. This hasn't always been true. I fall on and off the Bible reading wagon. I'd like to stay on it, and that is my prayer. I do my daily devotions, it seems to help.

[semodana]

I read my bible nightly before I go to bed. There is so much to learn from this book....sometimes I fail to understand what I read but if I go back insight is usually given...
Dana God bless us all.... :angel:

[Phillynitro]

I try to read a little even once a day

[Gentle Panther]

Is 'quiet time' a part of your life? Do you only open The Bible during a message at church? Do you read it at all?

My answer would be in between once a week at church and hardly ever.

[Droobie]

My answer would be in between once a week at church and hardly ever.
Why is it important that we should try to read the Bible regularly?

[Lizquests]

If I do not read my Bible, I 90% of the time try to pray. Taking time to reflect on my day, thank God for everything in my life and much more. There are times when I do forget, and boy can I tell in my life when I do not take time to talk with God.:angel:

[Kathy]

I read my Bible at least twice a week...trying to work up to everyday. :angel:

[dans sa grace]

recently, i have lost track of where i am spiritually.... i reallyyyy need a spiritual kick in the butt... after a recent disaster, i lost a lot of faith and im trying to get back but my efforts are kinda going to waste... i am focusing on other stuff from worrying about school and friends and ppl who continuously screw me over and i let them... i have neglected to read the Word... i really want to change that...

[oworm]

Every morning with the aid of a daily devotional. I read a few theology books and "christian living" type books which make regular references to scripture. Im trying to fill my mind up with it so theres no room for other non benificial stuff.

PS 119:105 Your word is a lamp to my feet

and a light for my path.

[Qingchen]

I love Bible, and I have a New Revised Standard Version Bible, which I think can improve my English.

[Samueel]

each morning as much as possible.

[Eleana]

I tried to be disciplined in reading the Bible daily...but I always have so much other stuffs to do...I will try my best.

[JewelInHisCrown]

Is 'quiet time' a part of your life? Do you only open The Bible during a message at church? Do you read it at all?
I read it everyday, even if it is a few minutes. I try to bring the Word of God faithfully into my life daily, just as I do for praying, and worshipping (by listening to Christian music and speaking of Him to others)

[JC_FREAK]

I try to get a reading in daily but really miss it when I don't!! I love the bible, it is awesome

[brandnew845]

Not enough, maybe i'll go read it right now.

[Lizzy16]

I read everyday the Bible. One chapter each day.
I have been doing it since I was jewish though...so I am used to it

[Radagast]

How often do you breathe?

-- Radagast

[Jeffery]

Every day from OT and NT.

[DMX]

The Bible, the Sword of the Spirit, the Word of God, is the only offensive weapon in the Christian's arsenal. How does he or she engage the enemy in daily spiritual warfare without using it and hope to be successful?

[Ric]

Is 'quiet time' a part of your life? Do you only open The Bible during a message at church? Do you read it at all?
Plus with my daily reading and study, I keep a Bible with me where ever I go so I can just pick it up and start reading (e.g. doctor's office, waiting on my wife at the mall, rush hour traffic, etc...)

(The rush hour traffic part is a joke!)

[sioleabha]

I get Scripture emailed to me every day. Other than that, I read to my kids from my study Bible as part of their daily lessons, and I read them devotionals from a book for kids every evening. Unfortunately I usually get behind on my reading when I go through bad weeks (I have dysthymia), which is really the time I need it most! I'm trying, though.

I also always have a Bible wherever I am (I have several translations on my PDA in my purse), so I look things up whenever I have questions.

[creeb]

I havent voted coz I try to keep my quiet time every day but if im honest i do forget from time to time funny it seem to have a direct link with how my life goes if i keep it life is good if i loose it i wander far from wot is good intresting that aint it

[reformedfan]

I read an excellent quote today by Calvin, & couldn't wait to post it.
'When God's Word is despised, all reverence for Him is gone. His majesty can't be honored, nor His worship maintained unless we hang, as it were, upon His lips."

whatta dude!

[RAF]

A couple months ago I would've had to answered this question "once a week at church". However, I am on a quest to read the Bible every day to get it completed within a year. Wish me luck.

[Bullheadangel811]

I wish I haden't voted but now I do wanna try to read it daily.

[Encourager]

Wildflower, that is so good to hear that you love to read your Bible daily and I am sure it will be an encouragement to all who read your post. I know the Lord will bless you and I pray that you will continue to walk in HIS way. Welcome to the family.

God Bless

[~Wisdom Seeker~]

Is 'quiet time' a part of your life?

Do you only open The Bible during a message at church?

Do you read it at all?Yes, quiet time is a part of my life.

When I was going to church I opened it during the message.

Yes, I read it a lot. I took last year off from reading it daily within the confines of one of those "Read the Bible in a Year' schedules. But yes, I still find the Bible invaluable. Although admittedly I find my on-line search engine better for on-line discussions than my old K.J.V. hard copy. ;)

[JNB]

I try to read it daily at least once. My wife and children also read daily as much as possible. The first two years I probably averaged 8 to 10 hours a day. Now I try to read one to two chapters every day besides studying different topics. This might sound wierd but we keep Bibles everywhere (cars, motorcycles, at our retail store, and most important, in all restrooms (no better place to be alone). I also have PC Study on all my computers. We all need our daily bread and Jesus is that bread.

[pgp_protector]

Not Enough :(

[kwimmer]

I voted daily but that isn't quite true. And sometimes you can read things just to read them and not let them affect you at all.

[Jesus-is-the-best]

DAILY! I get up at 5:00 AM and have my personal devotion. And then at 6:00AM I go and have a family bible study, with my dad before he goes off to work.

[LOVELYST]

reading the bible is essential for all christians, especially new born christians, it builds them up in the spirit, and that is how God talks to his people

[TheFirstNoelle]

reading the bible is essential for all christians, especially new born christians, it builds them up in the spirit, and that is how God talks to his people
I try to do it every day, but I'm bad sometimes :( My fiance is having a really hard time making time for devotionals since he's spending 5 months at police boot camp right now. But I'm trying to push him towards it & encourage him more; if we have time to talk on the phone every night, we can make time to read God's word.

[Neko]

Every once in a while, though I need to start reading it more, because it's difficult for me to get back to a schedule of reading the bible or even making time to read it. I'm guilty on that matter and I need to make time, even if its ten or so minutes a day.

[Hez]

With my devotions I read a few passages daily at least, but I do not read it nearly enough. I need to spend actual quiet time with the Lord consistently. It SO affects everything about me and my day. But I do have a program on my computer called Mannakorn that pops up a scripture passage every 15 minutes so that is cool for when I spend too much time on here! God bless!Hey, that's pretty cool! Neat idea :D

[tinkerbell]

Threre are so many insights to be gained from reading the Bible!!!

[GraceReborn]

I try to read from it everyday. Not always successful but I love to read and stay in the Word whenever I can.

[Huldrych]

I try to read from it first thing every morning. Not always successful, but I am pretty consistent with it.

It can be a pain to put forth the extra time when you could have spent that hour sleeping, but man, is it ever worth it when the Lord meets you!

jth

[ChristsChick]

I read a bit every day before I go to school, then in my quiet time I read a bit more, then at night I do my Bible study, I do miss sometimes, but I enjoy reading it so much it's a pleasure rather than a chore!

[HolySpiritWarrior]

Definately every day as part of my life unless for some reason I don't get a chance...

[FBI78]

I need to do it more than i do it now.

[sonshiningonme]

i read my Bible everyday it has gotten to the point if i dont read it i cant sleep lol...

[KarateJack]

I know it sounds like an excuse but I read it a few times a week due to my schedule. I need to find a way to read it daily though. :)

[Jack_Racz]

Every morning when I wake up, and anytime I need strength

[Oblivious]

Not as much as I should.....:(

[renaistre]

I typically read 1 to 3 hours a week, but it varies a lot from month to month.

-Evan

[Umbra]

everyday......but I ought to raed it for longer periods of time

[GinooKo]

A few times a week but would like to do it daily.

[Creationist2004]

Same here.
GSCE's make it rather complicated, which i dislike.

[elivi]

Definately not as often as I should.

And sadly, not nearly as often as I watch TV... :(

[Glorianna]

It's an essential part of my life. When a day goes by that I don't read it, I feel empty, like something's missing.

[Breanainn]

I read 4 chapters a day, 3 in the OT and 1 in the NT. :)

[budgetguy]

i read it every morning. i just finished reading the whole thing all the way through for the first time and now i'm reading just a little bit every day and spending some time on what i read.

[jeshohaia]

I love seeing people read the Word. That is one way toat we get fed. Throuhg His words we learn. :D

[TerabyTe]

Well I used to just pick it up every once in a while and find some interesting things in it, but yesterday I started it from the beginning, and it's going to take me a while to read it. I've read about 20 pages since yesterday, and I love it so far. I'll read a little bit a day. I used to just use it as a little guide book, to pick up whenever I was confused about something to do with Christianity, but now I'm reading it as I would a novel, all the way through. So I guess it is kinda like my daily life now.

[Roxa]

reading the Bible is part of my daily life.

[Cright]

I read a devotional book daily that has a short story and scripture w/ it each morning.
I read my (TEV) bible at work 3-5 times a week (what a luxury that is!!).
I have a "verse-a-day" in my email that I read too, it often contains bible trivia questions w/ the supporting verse.
I go to a Sunday bible study after church (bible churhc), one on Thursday evening (Methodist church) and a Thursday night (hosted by a member of a Baptist church). Intresting since I was catholic until about 6 months ago and before that hardly dusted off my bible to read it, and never was a member of a Catholic church where it was encouraged or adult studies offered.
I don't really consider it "reading", but several days of the week I'll pick up on of my bibles (3 different translations) to refrence others comments, learn from the bible studies or to find an answer to a question I'm working on.

Right now I just can't get enough knowledge!! I'm sucking it up like a sponge! lol

[kermit the toad]

I read it every day, with rare exception. I usually read 4 chapters before I go to bed each night. If I don't read it one night because I am just too tired to make the reading worth while (i.e.: I'm reading it, but it's not sinking in) then I'll try to make up for it by reading more than usual the next day.

[tqpix]

I read the Bible a few times a week, but when I do read it, I'd like to read it more than once during that day.

[Grace_of_God]

I make sure to put some time per day for reading the Bible. The amount of time each day differs but I always make sure to fit it in somewhere.

God bless,
~Grace~

[rua2j33]

I confess. I don't read it as much as I should. I will try to do better!

[TheMainException]

The Bible is actually the coolest book that I've been reading or have ever read. It has so many interesting stories and so many things to teach us, it just rocks.

[Moros]

I try to read it at least once a day.

[victoriamarie]

Daily

[*Jessica*]

Daily. I reading thru in a year and am currently at Isaiah.:)

[caitlincares]

Daily.

I recently broke off my engagement so spending a lot more time in the Word.
Just went thru Proverbs, Psalms, and John.
And my regular devotions I am working thru Paul's writings.

[Dr Majestic]

just a few times a week for myself maybe less it depends how I am feeling or if I need to find clarifiaction on a thought.

[Kashidi]

I used to only read it when I had to, but I started reading it every morning when I woke up to try and get a headstart on my day. It's pretty good. I read a few chapters and then get some breakfast! ^_^

[Athanasian Creed]

Is 'quiet time' a part of your life? Do you only open The Bible during a message at church? Do you read it at all?
I feel having a quiet time is very important. I generally have mine first thing in the morning before i do anything else - it's so quiet and peaceful at that time of the day. Bible reading is central to this time with the Lord - without it, how can we know more of Him and how to live to please Him ?? ;)


Ray :wave:

[Ashlynne]

I read my bible today for the first time... sence.. I donno when

[LiberatedChick]

I ticked "Once a week at Church". Whilst I read it, on average, about once a week it's not at church because I've never been! First time at church this Sunday though :)

[heldtight]

I read in throughout the day. Everyday. It is food for the soul. No matter how many times I read something over and over again, i can learn something new and find something new to apply to my life. And learn to serve and glorify God all the more.

I think the more you read it the more you want to. For those who dont everyday, try to at least read for 10 minutes. 10 minutes isnt hard to set aside for the Word. And if you have a tendency to forget to read, put a note on the fridge. While you eat a snack you can read the Word of God too and feed both body and soul at the same time. :-)

[faith by day]

i read it a few times a week, i try my hardest every day... its something i need to work on..... ill start reading everyday starting today though.... if i want to read the bible in a year... ;)

[~Mrs. A2J~]

I read the Bible in a year daily.

Sarah

[rudeone707]

i read the bible daily but sometimes i miss a day here and there, if i dont read the bible on a daily basis i feel a lil emptier.

[PaladinGirl]

I read it daily but I ocassionally miss reading it. Right now, I am trying to read through the entire Bible starting at Genesis by reading a few chapters a day and then reading some of the New Testament. But I am not including my readings in the New Testament as my goal to read the entire Bible. I just feel that I need to read part of the New Testament each day in addition to my chronological reading of the whole Bible.

[Mimi]

A few times a week, but I want to make it a daily part of my life.

[OhhhChung]

A few times a week. The Bible is one of the last priorities in my life as I need to be punished.

[JohnnyV]

I read my Bible every day, morning and before bed.

[Jessica Lauren]

A few times a week

[Love&Pain]

I read my bible (like as in page for page or chapter for chapter) a couple of times a week. I mostly read christian books that give me scriptures to look up. I am scripture frenzy and I am in the word everyday. I love to teach or preach the Good news to others :preach: and so I ask God for wisdom. God has given me the passion to love others and one day I want to be a youth pastor. ;) *love4jesus goes and makes a habit to read her bible everyday* :liturgy:

[evildead]

Kind of need to add the catagory of "As much as I go to Mars."

[2Timothy2]

Being a Christian means having a relationship with Almighty God, right? But how can we have a relationship with someone when there in no communication? To grow spiritually, we need to pray and, as someone once said, get into the Word of God and get the Word of God into us.

That said, I, myself, do not read the Bible often enough. It seems to go in cycles where I read every day, I've read from cover to cover (excluding the maps and concordance :D ) several times, but then I have times when I don't read it for long periods. These times, my life shows it.:sigh:

[LiberatedChick]

I've gone from reading a few times a week to reading almost everyday. In fact I have it open by my side right now as I was reading it a few moments ago.

[Sacrifice]

I try to read it as much as I can, though some days I'm not in the mood, but i tend to read it almost every day.

[Bullheadangel811]

I read it almost everyday, but i read it as much as I can. I try to soak it up so it can stay in my brain and i can remember the verses.

[AdJesumPerMariam]

I need to read it more!

[_Zap_]

Once a week at church usually.

[The "J"]

A few times a week.

[PrayerPointPerson]

I try to read it every night before I go to bed, and I usually do unless I fall asleep in another room on the weekends.

[Venus13]

A couple of days a week. Trying to read it every day though.

[Bladecarver]

Not as much as I should. Need to work on that.

[Nancaroo]

I try to read daily but sometimes I don't have time. If I start my day reading God's Word and praying though I find that I have a much better day than those days that I don't

[SandyLou]

daily as part of the Disciple Study I'm in. . . . .
but also daily - just for me :prayer:

so. . . . more than once a day . . .would have to be my answer!

[Daisysqueaks]

I read my Bible 6 days a week. Trying to work on getting Saturday in there too. Too hard to get up Sat mornings:yawn: . Once the kids are up it's hard to get it done. Too much distraction!:P

[Izzy23]

I read every morning. It has become more important to me then any other errand of the day.

[brinny]

daily

[rosenherman]

6 days out of 7. I do it first thing in the morning. It just starts my day off right. I also pray first thing in the morning, instead of at night.

[Nevada77]

I would like to read it everyday but life gets in the way. One of my struggles as a new christian is putting God first and the everything behind him. I weill keep trying though.

Nevada :angel:

[SuperSmart]

I read the Bible at least twice a week

[Hisbygrace]

I have to confess that recently my reading of the Bible has fallen off, but thank God He doesn't turn His back on us and is leading back to the place where I belong. In His Word.

[Mystofolyse]

First off, I don't read the bible. I am an atheist and I, at a point in the last year, found christianity to be very questionable. I tried really hard to believe that there was a god, that there was a heaven, and that I might be 'saved'. But logic overcame belief and I became what I am now. So I just want to pose a few questions for everyone to think about: What is our meaning? Why would a god create us, let us die, and then judge us on our life? :scratch:
P.S. I'm not trying to harass chrisitanity, just find answers.

[indeep]

Every day...

I didn't really used to read the bible, unless I was at a bible study or small group.... I was rather arrogant, I thought that I knew all there was to know about and in the bible. It took one person who knew a heck of a lot more than me to tell me I needed to read it more often and in greater depth. So that's what I've been doing.

[yashuaskid]

Is 'quiet time' a part of your life? Do you only open The Bible during a message at church? Do you read it at all?
We have to learn from God before we expect to lean on him!

[HotRhymez]

I read it every few days, but I want to read it every night, but I become so busy with other things that I forget to read sometimes. Sometimes when I read the Bible I just get bored with it, because I don't learn much even when I ask God to help me learn something. I need to work on reading it more.

[okiemommy26]

a few times a week but that is just for class that im taking i should read it more

[Neal]

Almost every day... soon, it is becoming every day, though.

[GodFlute2]

Everyday, just about.

[PhantomTorment]

A few times a week, I'm trying to make it every day.

[gee]

Most days. Do try to go through at least once or twice a year (cover to cover), besides additional study and reading. When I went through earlier this year I timed how long it took to read each book - not in a speedy way but thinking over the Scripture as I read. This helps for other times of reading when you have an amount of time, you can think - I can read through Genesis in 3½ to 4 hours, or with less time say Ruth in about 15 minutes.

I find it helps to read through cover to cover quite quickly and it all fits into place better when you get to the NT referring to OT verses. :wave:

[anna9559]

I read it daily, i feel theres 2 parts of me...1) my body and 2) my spirit. If i feed my body so i could live, i need to feed my soul so my faith and hope would grow stronger.

[APKingBlue19]

Not enough. On average I mostly read only at church. I have a few spurts here and there in which I will read it every couple of days in a row and then I just quit for some reason. I would like it to change so that I am reading from it everyday.

[jennm]

I have read the bible everyday for years, it is just who I am, a way to walk closer with God, I have read it cover to cover about 9 times in my life, usually was doing the one year plan, but I now can read it cover to cover in much less than a year and plan to ead it many many more times.

[BeckyDK]

I usually read it every day, it slips sometimes though :(

[ClaireZ]

Not as often as I should. Almost daily, depends alot on what I am doing, and thinking about. Sometimes the reading I do, contains bible passages, but not the Bible itself.

[Fonzy]

hardly i go by 10 commandments

[challe]

:wave: I Vote " A few times a week " !

And thats what I do !

Challe / :groupray:

[Yamialpha]

I read it on average multiple times a week, although I am attempting to read it on a daily basis.

[LadyCoyote_Fin]

I take The Bible and read that a few time a week, but....

I "study the word" in other way too,... by reading other religious books, reading teachings on forum, going to church... even listening gospel music.. In that way I will also learn about God and the things Jesus teached.

LC :angel:

[babydust2004]

I have read the bible twice through and read Job a lot because when I feel I have been tested I read it and it makes me realize it could be worse

[bill16652]

i read every day but i do a lot of reasearch as well. have read through it five times and just keep learning more and more as i go. it is not just reading but letting the spirit show you what it is he is trying to point out.

[travisbaptist12]

I read it every night. I make sure to, whether I'm to tired or whatever, reading the Bible is very important to me, no excuses, I must read. It gives me comfort, joy, reassurance, and knowledge of history, and helps me know God better.

[rachewil15]

Every single day !!

[die2live]

It should be daily. It should be constant, at least praying should be. But, for me, it's sadly only a coupole times a week.:(

[cinni]

i read it a few times a week which is not great i should be daily but i get caught up in my life and just don't make time for it like i should

[Zoomer]

A few times a week.

[This_Beautiful_Faith]

I'm working on reading it daily. That's my aim. I haven't read it nearly enough to how much I want and need to - so I'm working on it! :D

[Miss Spaulding]

Every day in the morning when I get up.

[Loopi]

I try and read it every night, altho am human, and recently have been too human, and let my feelings and other things distract me from reading Gods word. I follow Soul Food in theword4u 2day which is really cool, altho at times it can seem too much to read, as its about three nearly 4 chapters a day

[BubblesRelena]

I didn't vote because there wasn't a section for me to vote on. I read the bible everytime it tickles my fancy. It just depends, and it's never in a pattern. Like, I haven't picked up my bible in months except to look up different names in the bible for the past few months, but this last week I studdied the first chapter of James for about 2 hours. And last summer (when I had a lot of time on my hands) I had that thing opened ALL the time, reading it and researching and studding ALL the time. It's just different with me.

~BubblesRelena

[AliveInChrist]

I read daily. I just got a teen study Bible, so I highlight important verses and write notes in the margin too.

[waitingforwonderful]

i read every night, along with devotional times every day.

[Raheelah]

try to read the Bible everyday but even i sometimes don't get around to setting aside time for God which God pulls me up on

:) ;) :D :cool: :P :wave: :thumbsup: :amen: :clap: :hug: :preach: :prayer: :groupray: :bow: :angel:

[DarkGalaxy]

Usually every day, unless my schedule goes crazy on me. I try to read a chapter every week. ;)

[jbgordon]

I dont read everyday, which kinda bums me out when I think about how much time I waste.

[brinny]

daily

[Thor11]

I used to read it daily. Daily reading caused me to reject it though.

[Revelation 19:6]

It's my third time reading it and I still love it!!!!! I read it every day!!!

[theywhosowintears]

I clicked "I read it daily" but I do sometimes skip days...

bad me.

I am making a major effort in this area at the moment... it really truely gives you strength!

[Pisty]

i flipped through it once or twice throughout my life but it didn't make any sense. The only bible in the house is the one i stole from a motel last year

[kiora]

Every so often i start again I say to myself- I am going to read the bible everyday but then maybe after the holidays when i get back into my daily routine I am doing so much before i know it I am going to sleep again !!! I know that is no excuse and that i should make time to have personal devotions but it is hard

[BillR]

I try to read it everyday and it can only be one chapter a day, but there are times that i fail to read the Bible.:holy:

[masrhy]

i try and read it every day even if it's only a small passage but i sometimes forget :(

[Angeldove97]

I try to read it a few times a week, sometimes, while being in college, its difficult to do it every day. But I also found some nice sites that will send emails of Scripture to your inbox and so I check those out daily. ^_^

[brinny]

Daily.

[pgp_protector]

Not often enough.

Dose listing to an audio version count ?

[old06]

Well I have a good pace going this year I am a head in my reading and have missed a day here and there. I just finished 3 day worth and am covered to the end of the month or the first week of march. :clap: .

[kittygirl]

Every night before I go to bed I read for 15-30 minutes.

[angelbudrfly]

I should read it more than I do. :pink:

[Waylon]

I haven't for the past 3-4 years but about a month ago some things happened in my life to where I read it everyday now, and if I miss a day I totaly understand that "man can't live on bread alone." Never really got it before. Praise God!

[Maharg]

I used to read my Bible everyday when I was about 7 or 8, then went off it for a while, and then started reading it occasionally when I got to my late teens and have dipped in and out of it for years. It is only on the last 6 months (shame on me) that I have started to read it every day. It is such a blessing. I used to find it boring and confusing, but I nearly always look forward to it now. I'm on the last chapter of Nehemiah today (I found out on Friday that I have been pronouncing it wrong for weeks! Ne-hee-mee-ah was how I pronounced it - how embarassing!). Nehemiah just seems like a person that I would know. I identify with him a lot and I love that he is shrewd and sensible as well as loving. I loved reading Habakuk, too. Not sure what to go on to next now!

[Tanyalita]

I try to read at least a little every day. I've only been into it for about a week and a half now, though. I'm still in Genesis. *.*

[ConstanceB]

Not often enough.

For PGP Protector --

I absolutely believe that "reading" Scripture via audiocassette is as valid as anything! (Remember the many years when "the Church" kept Scripture to itself, in Latin, and told the Christians what the leaders thought they needed to know! Do what works & praise God.

[Mister_mag00]

I can spare a few hours a week for the bible.Its not how much you read but how much you get out of reading.

[Quentin]

Sadly, I need to read the word of God more often....

[MetalBlade]

Hardly ever. I wish I would read more, I like my Bible a lot!

[Spoken•For]

I read my Bible daily. I love reading different versions of the Bible and comparing them.

I'm trying to get a Bible that has the Apocrypha in it to find some more things to read.

[VictorianVelvet]

Daily. During times of troubles and problems, several times a day. It really helps to keep me in the right thoughts and mentality of letting God work through the problems for me.

[paulican]

I would have loved to said daily, because it is that important ;x

I need to do better about devotional time.

[Shanagal]

I try to read it a few times a week, I refrence it quite a lot when my husband and I get into our discussions (which happens pretty near every night)!! :):)

[ysl_75]

Is 'quiet time' a part of your life? Do you only open The Bible during a message at church? Do you read it at all?
Yes we do open the Bible during a message at church and I read daily too. Its good and sometimes we learned something new...

[Saruman]

I read it whenever I feel the need to: ususally several times a week.

[Lithium Hobo]

I am forced to read it every day for school and honestly don't enjoy a single word of it.

[L.A.W.]

I read it often. The bible is the source in meditating and maintaining the words of God. It's like exercising. If you want to stay fit, you have to maintain a work out schedule to stay fit.

[Krystina661]

Not as often as I should ..

[jesusfreak22]

not as much as i should

[diamond717]

I voted two or three times a week. I wish it could be more, but my busy schedule doesn't allow it just yet. I guess the fault lies in how much I intend on reading in one sitting. One or two verses isn't enough, and so I forego reading it altogether, which maybe that is not the right thing to do. One of these days, I would like to get the type of Bible that has a schedule for reading it entirely in a year. That may help me get a daily reading going. :)

[gennypearl]

I am reading it everyday :wave:

[tck1987]

Daily, I get up early everyday to read the Bible before going to school.

[Tekoa]

Is 'quiet time' a part of your life? Do you only open The Bible during a message at church? Do you read it at all?

Yes, it is a daily part of my life, I read every morning with my prayer time. If I don't my day does not go right! I also have it open at Church and have notes too.

:hug:
Tekoa

[HotRhymez]

A couple times a week..I'm trying to read it more though, but sometimes I'm too busy.

[AvgJoe]

I read and study the Bible almost everyday.

[Buccaneer]

Generally i read/research various things and read scripture pretty much every day or near every day but ive been neglecting it for a few days because i cant think of what to read about next.

[PACKY]

Daily ( its the only thing thats keeping me sane LOL)

[Palatka44]

I had been going through some dry times with my Bible until I found CF. I was in a rut in that I'd only open it once a week or less aside from opening it in Church services. CF has got me to digging deeper for answers now days. :clap:

[Rod B]

I was reading my Bible more before I found CF. Sadly(?) I find myself lately spending more time here reading what other people have to say about the Bible than reading it myself.

[taboo]

To be honest, I don't read it as much as I should. :(

I find myself lately spending more time here reading what other people have to say about the Bible than reading it myself.

Yeah, that's been happening to me too.

[Freedom&Light]

I make valiant efforts, but I should do it more. :) You can't read too much!

[alabaster jar]

I read the bible a few times a week. Just about every day I do read some kind of religious book that talks about something from the bible. So even when I'm not reading the bible per se, I usually am studying and learning about either my faith or someone elses. I tend to read Christian and Jewish books mostly.

[88Devin07]

Every day or every other day, I open it to various pages whenever I don't have a specific place to read. I then look at those, and if they catch my attention, i'll analyze them and search for what they mean...

[BillR]

Is 'quiet time' a part of your life? Do you only open The Bible during a message at church? Do you read it at all?

I only write it down when pastor tells us about the scripture, besides that i normally listen to him so when i get home i go thru all the scriptures he quoted.

Go to the Relaxation Thread where we post Verses back to back. You'll get your reading time in there. :thumbsup:

[Ladyday95]

yes read Bible daily. I start my day with cup of coffee and scriptures... could not make it through the day without it.

[Donyc]

Trying to read every day.. But some days so are you feeling down so.. ^^

[RedneckAnglican]

everyday...even if it's just one verse...

[GEO4CHRIST]

Im starting to read it alot more now. I used to only read it when I had a sermon to preach.

[Abbadon]

A few times a week. Sometimes for entertainment, enlightenment, or arguement.

[eternal_flame_1988]

I want to spend a lot more time reading the bible than i do, but Year 12 has put a lot of weight on me mentally and physically. I rarely get the time to. I wish i could though, because I love to read the verses.

[runner_for_jc]

I dont read the bible everyday but i think that everyone should at least read it once a week...AT LEAST!
Jordan Gibson*24

[runner_for_jc]

Im going to start reading the Bible as much as i can!

[Mal2]

i read it once as a child, when i was forced to, but i have since then abandoned such silly things

[maylu_roll]

I read the bible daily, its my reading book, my advice, my reference and my life.

[Rossi]

read it everyday.Love it

[svdbygrace]

I read my bible several times a week. I do apply scripture to my daily thoughts and actions.

[jemima the evangelizer]

Every day, as much as I can. Love it!

[shayshay7]

Only at church.... I don't have one. :(

[DanielJamesSimon]

Only recently have I started reading it daily, previous to that, several times a week. I've finally stopped my procrastination and am doing a regular short study each day.

[MaddiesDad]

not as much as time allows,I'm doing things in its place periodically,especially when at work.

[Kalista]

I try for everyday but often slack off. I am a horrible slacker, so several times a week.
