I believe the answer is ...hummmm Let me see...hummm Of course I do. I never go anywhere except the local gas station without my Sword. Not good to get caught without your weapon you know. I have a Christian web site and I use an online version for it. I also like to make sure that everyone has a Bible so if someone does not have one and I can I will get them one. I read from my hard copy every night before I go to sleep and I prefer to do my study in it and then go put it on the website. If you read my testimony on my site you will see that I just could not be alive without my Lord. I praise Him daily and His Word is my life line. Thank you for asking.

hehe, you have a lot of uhmm.. but i thank you for sharing. the Bible indeed is the Sword of every Christian. that is why it is a good exercise to memorize scriptures too. because when the Bible is absent to your bag, then you can recite of what is in the Bible.. it is effective too...

You are correct about memorizing and I used to do it much better. Now days I seem to have lost some of that. Now that I have been awakened to reality a bit I am left with no choice but to begin memorizing again. There may soon come a day even in America when our Bibles are stripped from us and we will have no access to them except in our heart. I would like to talk to you more on the subject.

I do read the Bible atleast once in the morning and evening. It is good to learn God's word and listen to what he has to say. And I do this wherever I am. Even when I am travelling , the Bible is the first thing that goes into my bag or case. I have to have it with me at all times

we are the same. but to be honest, sometimes, i could not read the Bible. there are times that i would be using it just for comfort and trying to ease the pains. or to sumarize, when only at times when there is storm in my life.. huhu..i really have this desire to really be the Bible as part of my life.. huhu...

I read the Bible and I use it as my guide when making decisions, to know more about God's character and to claim the promises of God. The Word of the Lord is very powerful that He was able to create the universe with it. The Bible demonstrates it for the things written there which have been fulfilled in the present until the end of time. Christianity is a relationship with Christ. It is hard to develop that relationship without God's word. It is the food that sustains that relationship. It is the guide to the things God want us to do: talking with Him (prayer), having fellowship with our fellow believers and spreading the Good News to the rest of the world.

Amen right there my friend. and the Bible is the perfect reference whenever we are to deal and to tackle about life. there are a lot of uncertainties in this world, and we are fortunate to have the Bible as our main source of encouragement and strength. continue to be a blessing to others...

i use my Bible everyday whenever i pray, seek for God's guidance, seek for comfort and in knowing God's beautiful story and His love for us. When I was younger and haven't had a stronger relationship with my Maker, Lord and Savior our Bible at home just stays on the altar getting dust all over it. but since i surrendered my everything to God my day doesn't end without opening my Bible and reading God's word and clinging on to His promises. The Bible gives me comfort and peace knowing a have with me God's assurance and love.

The Bible indeed is the main source of our life as christians. we need it as much as water and other resources we'll be needing. in this life, there are a lot of things that could come our way. especially when we disobey the Lord. it is good that we have the Bible to direct us and guide and let us know the reason and the plans of our Lord to us.. happy mylotting!..

Most definately, I use my Bible to get to know God better. I learn about His character, and about His Son and Holy Spirit. I read it, pray it, study it, meditate on it, sing it, say it, write it, memorize it, repeat it. I use the maps in the back to form a picture in my mind of where the events took place. I use the built in concordance to study words and topics. I use my Bible to teach my children not only right from wrong, but also how much our fabulous Creator and beautiful Savior Jesus Christ loves them. I use my Bible when others ask me questions - to help them understand and to defend my faith. I use my Bible to renew my mind. I use my Bible as a basis for all truth. If it contradicts the Bible, it's just not true. And sometimes, just sometimes, I carry around my Bible as a reminder to read it and to pray. Only for it to be put down later having been neglected.

wow, i admire your zeal in reading and using the Bible. hope that you would continue to use and let other's know the content of it. that is the best thing to do in this fallen world. we are living in a messy world. and that the Bible is our only guide to redirect us of our calling and our purpose here on earth. the Bible contain not just only 1 promises but a bunch of them.. take time to read. i am encouraged by you.. thanks!
