How many of you really read your Bible everyday? I do, twice too. I think it's the best book in the world.

Yes, the Bible is the BEST book. I used to read it everyday, and I should, but I have been slacking! ](*,)

Oh, and this needs to be in the church.

I have been reading the Bible every day as of late, but I can't say it always happens.

One thing I have to guard against is reading the Bible just to read it, just to check it off, just to appease my guilty conscience, just to make myself feel spiritual. Lately, and thankfully, I've been seeking the Lord, asking Him to speak to me, reveal to me His truths through his Word.

My family has our own program where we read 1 chapter in the new testiment, and 5 chapters in the old one.... we finish the whole bible in a year. It is a really cool program my dad made! We even memorize a verse for each week!

I just finished reading the Bible for the first time. I have read many books in it, but never the whole thing. Last year on this date, it was the last day of camp, I decided to read my Bible in a year and finish on the last say of camp this year (today). While I tried/try to read a little bit everuy day, I DO forget sometimes. I am very proud to say that I finished it by my deadline. In fact I had so many peopel encourageing me this week at camp thatI finished it a day early. If I had read it every day, I am sure I would have finished it ages ago, but Godhad me finsih when I did for a reasdon, and eneded up iusing a lot of what I was reading and connected it to what was going on both at camp and back at home.

I read my Bible pretty much every day, though I read mine in the morning at 5:30 or so. Often, I'm so sleepy I can't concentrate...:(

I must admit that I don't read my Bible everyday. I did for a while, but lately I've been slacking and read it between 3 and 5 days a week. I do have a few devoitionals that I read each day though, so if I can keep up with reading them, I guess I don't have much of an excuse for not reading the Bible everyday.

I read my bible every day, mainly due to the fact that I have a book known as "One-Minute Bible Studies 4 Students". I contains one brief bible study for every day of the year.

Maybe I should start doing sermons at church again :wink: That's when I got in the habbit of reading my Bible every day because when I'd be preparing for a sermon, I didn't have time to sit down for one day to go through and look for Bible texts I wanted to use (who does???), so I'd go through bit by bit each day......then even on the weeks that I wasn't going to be doing the sermon, I was always looking for sermon ideas, so I still read my Bible every day.......then when I left that church, it was part of my normal routine.

Peace Out

I read my Bible every day.
A few years ago, I needed help being cosistant in my Bible reading, so I came up with a plan to help me. Every morning, I would read my Bible and then, place it on my pillow. That night, I would see it on my pillow before I went to bed and I would remember to read my Bible. Then, I would place my Bible somewhere where I would see it in the morning. Since I saw my Bible every morning and night, I remembered to read it too! After a few months, I didn't have to do this anymore. I was in the habit of reading my Bible and had grown to love it. This has lasted several years since.

I'll be completly honest; I don't right now. I study it, but not as much as I should, a situation I plan on fixing soon. I used to read it every night around 9 o'clock, but that habit was lost sometime.
