I went through being so consumed with social media, and my electronics I lost the desire to read the bible, and never gave the bible time or much attention, and it was just a check off when I did read it, nothing serious. Well, I prayed and cried out to God to give me the love and desire for his word again, and he did! Im doing the chronological bible reading and loving every bit of it, and learning a lot. I thank Jesus for giving me a love to read and know his heart through reading his word again. All glory to him. Thanks for sharing.

​@@OnlyOneNamechronological bible reading is reading the books of the Bible based on either when they were written timeline wise or just in order like Genesis through Malachi (old testament) or Matthew through revelation (new testament)

I'm 75 and starting to have problems remembering my name! Seriously, I always had problems memorizing things, so when I tried to memorize Scripture, I felt like a failure compared to others in my study group. But, I realized that knowing what the Scripture meant was where the value was. I no longer feel ashamed about my inability to quote chapter and verse. I do feel much closer to God through the understanding of His Word. Blessings everyone! :)

[@mailywong9612]

Thanks so much

[@millysmanifestations]

i started reading it again too. this time i went in with the mindset of “what can i learn from this” rather than “i have to read this to gain God’s favor or else i’m sinning if i don’t” and a simple shift has helped me to appreciate it far more.

[@chikomboreromujinga]

Am still suffering from that mindset if trying to gain favor from God and feeling like a sinner if i dont read but i know God will help me change

[@millysmanifestations]

@@chikomboreromujinga I no longer see God as a being that tallys up all of our sins and keeps track of everything we do that is wrong. This is what man made religion wants us to believe so we will be afraid and submit to this mindset of fear in order for them to gain control over us. I see God as infinite love and my greatest guide. Yes there is such thing as sin but God wouldn’t punish us for them. Sin is anything that pulls you away from your highest good or hinders your relationship with God. Like if you drink and get drunk all the time, that’s obviously going to impair your relationship with the divine because it’s damaging your mind body and spirit and you can’t reach your highest self that way. You will live in “hell” because behaviors like that will bring you suffering. But God is there always, patient and wants a relationship with you, it’s just up to us to want one with God as well. God understands the pain of humans (he became one) and so to punish us would be hypocritical. If no one were hurting, or if everyone was in their highest state of being there would be no sin or wrong only love. So I genuinely believe that you don’t have to follow any rules in order to gain favor with God because you already have favor. The Bible is just a tool for us to use if we want to use it to connect with God. We don’t HAVE to read it and we won’t go to hell if we don’t. (I suggest checking out the channel “Aaron Abke” on KZbin, his videos have helped me a lot with this).

[@gmac8586]

LOL, God doesn't want you to visit him out of duty. It's a living relationship. Just be honest with him. Ask him what he wants to say to you and just open your bible. It is his communication to you. Bible reading goes hand in hand with prayer. You don't want to do all the talking do you? God speaks to us through his Word. We should hear him too. That's all there is to it. It's not about fear and duty. It's just how relationships are done. Of course if you want a successful relationship with anyone, it can't all be one-sided.

[@Luxurious.shayyy]

[@imdee9024]

This is a BRILLIANT video for beginners in Christianity. I am a new christian and this is exactly what I struggle with. We hear how other Christians WANT to read the Bibile - how they HEAR God and how they FEEL God so we start reading the Bible but then it gets difficult because it still feels like a chore in the beginning. This helped me realize that I have to be consistent and do it with purpose no matter what because THAT consistency will lead to something big. If I rely on my mood to decide IF I will spend time with God, then I won't. God says to 'carry your cross daily' - I have picked my hard for Jesus - I am reading my Bible consistently everyday. Excellent video - thank you!

[@anonykitsune]

i dont remember who said this but it really helped me, "remember, once there's a moment you dont feel like reading it, that is when u must read it" it has a bigger impact in my language, i dont know how to translate it right 😭 so everytime i feel lazy and lie down on my bed ready to sleep, ill remember that word and sit back up again groggily like a tired zombie and read lmao

[@1974AMDG]

I really needed this today! I was just praying a few hours before I came across this video, telling God I feel a growing aversion to reading the Bible (and I've been a Christian for 50 years), and asking Him how I can get past this feeling! I firmly believe He has answered me through your video...thank you so much for allowing God to use you to speak to others in need and to answer their prayers. God bless you!

[@carissapaglino4591]

I was the same. Didn’t feel like reading and went months without reading. Then a few months ago I just forced myself to read at least 1 chapter a day. Now it’s a morning habit reading a few chapters. The word is captivating again. I am always eager to do my morning reading and can’t imagine going a day without it now. It’s sometimes hard at first but if you keep at it even when you don’t feel like it after 2 or 3 weeks it becomes a good habit. Yahuwah bless you

[@DanielCurl_0525]

I just got done at a Christian conference over the weekend and someone said something very profound. Talking in regards to reading the Bible it’s three Ds: Discipline, Desire, and Delight. You have to start with the discipline because most of us struggle at first to read the Bible, but as you stay disciplined you start to desire that time with God, which turns into delight! I’m still in the discipline stage lol, but I’m working

[@spookynight8125]

All my life I've struggled with reading the Bible and always gave up, but this time I promised I'm not giving up.

[@TheQuella]

Oh my goodness! I literally also just discovered the connection between Psalm 22, Matt 27:46 and Mark 15:34. What is also profound is that the Psalmist composed Psalm 22 to portray the posterity of Christ. When you really examine the words of the Psalmist, it becomes quite apparent that this is a prophecy, andddddd the Psalmist could have only gained such wisdom from the Holy Spirit. You are so right! The Bible is truly living, and it’s like any other book, it does not read from the beginning to the end. Everything book is connected to each other. Also, I completely agree. Even when you don’t feel like reading, READ. If you are struggling, ask God for help. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you so much for this video! This is so inspiring! I really know now (not feel) how to follow God in the context of the Scripture. It's been really hard for me to read Bible daily even though I've been with Him for more than a 6 months (I was born and raised in a Christian fam, but accepted God and Jesus Christ on the August, 13th, 2023). Hello from Russia btw! Федор Достоевский is actually a good one, but his books are a bit hard to understand. And we also have to read some of them in school

[@pattube]

Amazing! 😊 Thanks so much for doing this video! 1. Really insightful to consider that we don't read the Bible only when we feel like it, but we read the Bible in order to feel like it, for it's God who grows our desire and passion for his word as we continue in his word! As I've heard some say, pray until you pray, so too read until you read, that is, read the word until the Spirit works in you the desire to read the word! 2. Also, speaking of seeing the Bible as a hyperlinked text, which is such a great way to put it, I absolutely love biblical theology which is in essence reading the Bible as the single story of redemption that it is along with many substories or subplots. I would highly recommend books like: God's Big Picture (Vaughn Roberts), God Dwells Among Us (Greg Beale and Mitch Kim), From Eden to the New Jerusalem (T. Desmond Alexander), The God Who Is There (Don Carson), The Serpent and the Serpent Slayer (Andy Naselli), The Dawning of Redemption (Ian Vaillancourt), Short of Glory (Mitch Chase), or for those who want a much longer and fuller discussion The King in His Beauty (Tom Schreiner). Any one of these books will show you how the whole Bible fits together - like what you said about seeing Jesus quoting Psalm 22 - and much more. May people be blessed to better read their Bibles and this better grow in the grace and knowledge of the Lord by reading such books. 3. Speaking of praying the Bible, there's a good little book titled Praying the Bible (Don Whitney) that's very helpful here. 4. Finally I also love Dostoevsky's novels! In Russia, Dostoevsky is considered to have five great novels which are known as his "Pentateuch" - The Brothers Karamazov, Crime and Punishment, The Idiot, The Demons, and Notes from Underground (which is more of a novella). Of course, I think the two best and certainly my two favorites are TBK and C&P. See the Russian literature scholar Gary Morson's relatively recent book Wonder Confronts Certainty: Russian Writers on the Timeless Questions and Why Their Answers Matter. I don't think Morson is a Christian, at least not as far as I am aware, but a lot of what he says is consistent with Christianity. Morson has also written a lot online that's currently available for free to read (such as on Commentary Magazine) and done interviews like on the Al Mohler podcast, the Chasing Leviathan podcast, etc. Morson likes Tolstoy best, but he also likes Dostoevsky and other Russian writers (e.g. Chekhov, Pushkin). By the way, I think it's very important to get the right translation when it comes to reading Dostoevsky. A bad translation makes Dostoevsky a huge slog to get through when in fact I find Dostoevsky utterly riveting to read; it's as if he grabs you by the throat in his writing. The most popular translation for Dostoevesky is either Constance Garnett or Pevear and Volokhonsky. Garnett has a lovely Victorian era style, but she's quite dated since she was published in the early 1900s. Also, she is known to have skipped entire passages that she didn't know how to translate as well as smoothed out knotty passages in Dostoevsky rather than letting Dotoevsky stand as is. Regarding P&V, see articles like: "The Pevearization of Russian Literature" (Gary Morson); "The Pevear/Volokhonsky Hype Machine and How It Could Have Been Stopped or At Least Slowed Down" (Helen Andrews): "Socks" (Janet Malcolm); and "Pevear and Volokhonsky Are Indeed Overrated" (John McWhorter). Currently each of these is available to read for free online. In my opinion, the P&V translation isn't terrible, Dostoevsky still comes through sufficiently enough, like light streaming through a foggy window, but I'm afraid it isn't a soaring translation either. Overall it's mediocre. For recommended C&P translations, I'd say Michael Katz if you prefer American English or Oliver Ready if you prefer British English. Both translations are first rate. For TBK, I'd go with Michael Katz again or the significantly revised Garnett translation which has been revised by Ralph Matlaw and Susan McReynolds Oddo in the Norton Critical Edition. I've also heard Ignat Avsey is very good for TBK, as is David McDuff, though Avsey and McDuff are almost polar opposites on the translation spectrum, with Avsey more idiomatic (like the NIV or NLT) and McDuff more literal (like the NASB).

Keep a Bible in the bathroom. Read it when you have the time, so to speak. It's surprising how much you can read at such times. Get an audio bible version and store it on your phone. Listen when driving. It's surprising how much you can go through when you do this regularly, even in the small chunks of time going to the store, work, church, errands, etc. Listen to your audio bible via phone when you're eating alone, doing chores that aren't too loud (vacuuming can be too noisy), etc. Put the audio bible on for 5 mins or so before going to sleep. Use a music player that has a sleep timer. I recommend the Psalms for this: it's so comforting and relaxing, and a great way to set yourself up for a restful falling-asleep.

I started growing more when I started reading the Bible out loud. When you have to actually say the words, your mind can’t wander. The Old Testament can be rough at times, especially getting to all those names of who begat who. Not only could I not pronounce most of them, I lost track of who was who. This last time I started reading the Old Testament, I bought a pack of 12 different colored highlighters. In a conversation, I took different colors for each one speaking and hightailed the conversation. I took a highlighter and would enclosed a certain action or prayer. I divided up different sections in each chapter so they didn’t run together. I boldly highlighted certain important verses or revelations. I’m not finished and only in 2 chronicles, but I can’t believe how much easier it’s making the Old Testament to read and understand. When I flip through what I’ve already done, I can’t believe how well things stand out to me.

You can also watch read along audio bible kjv i have it with background worship piano music on my channel or you can find it in several places but it alowes you to listen and even read at the same time for hours really good stuff. focus on the words of Christ. bless the truth in your souls in Jesus name.

Discipline, Hyperlink, and i will add (personally) the "repetition of words" (the poetic narrative) is a mindblowing skillset that also helps you memorizing Scriptures, and will add to the beauty of reading the Bible. 🤗 God bless you

[@loveloveherrera5]

Amen 🙏. God helping me to read more and spend more time with him during my day 🙏❤️

Your enthusiasm is really contagious. You speak truth and it’s inspiring!

[@benicio1967]

I started the Bible today. I’m so glad I did. When I put it down I realized my frame of mind was different. I didn’t want to stop reading. I’m going to read it everyday until I read every page but then Im going to study it after that. I’m happy for you that you are connecting scriptures.

[@arunbonthu3182]

May GOD be with you brother

[@jimfrootloopfilledbrain]

I had to rewind 5 times just to take in the level of cooking this guy is on. Thank you so much for this I needed it. Always looked at reading the Bible as a thing to extend my streak or something but now I will start to change my mindset and this helped a lot thank you

[@geometrycube1]

incredible quality and information. liked.

[@thesilent1975]

Absolutely love the last point in this vid! Bringing God into the conversation as we read it sounds awesome. Bless you

[@stephenrussell2013]

You are on a good path. I would add a 1st tip, before all others, and that is to actually read the Bible, and repeatedly over a relatively short period of time. I was 24 when I started to read the Bible seriously. In 6 moths I read the NT, then the OT, and then the NT again. I was so far ahead of all the people at my back-slidden southern baptist church. They believed so much crap because they had never read the Bible for themselves. And to this day, most of them are still clueless. And the same goes for the calvary chapel denomination. You can't talk to them about the bible because most of them have never seriously read it, and that includes their current leaders like Jack Hibbs.

[@yohanchang3529]

This video convicted my heart in changing my behavior before God's holy words. Thank you for the tips and encouragement! God bless you brother.

[@MovieMan119]

Great video, I have been feeling the same way recently in my faith.

[@andreaganther2073]

Absolutely fantastic! Thank you for all the info and tips. I just started making it a habit to read the Bible every night before I go to bed and this video will definitely help! Btw you have a great voice, super enjoyable to listen to. God bless you! ❤

[@RobertPresson]

Great video!

[@sol9008]

“ a lot of time we think feeling and passion is what we lead us to spend time with God , when I reality it’s the other way around , spending your time with God will strengthen your passion and feeling”. This is very helpful to me. By Gods grace will try to adopt this method.

[@Freeremediestoagapelove]

I thank God that you chose to share this. This blessed me. God bless you!

[@sanchitamichael]

This is such a pure and necessary video, Brother! You will make reading the Bible so much more delightful and practical to a lot of young people especially. God bless you, keep going.

[@am7442]

Reading the bible is something I haven’t done in a while and is something I find hard to do but I know I need to.

[@sandranodine1151]

Your video is fantastic and I needed to hear it , because I am just like you. I read scripture here and there daily, but it’s just from my Bible app and only one. I’m not reading the Bible as it’s meant to be read. I’m going to encourage you to keep reading and pray for you to love reading God’s word. I’m going to use your tips as well. Keep the great videos coming.

[@narrowgateYM130]

I need to get back into reading the Bible more this might help me to do so, thank you for sharing!

[@Jesus_Christ_loves_you_alot]

Man brother, God has blessed you by being cool. You seem wise, but humble, and don’t seem to try to put others down and raise yourself up. Have you considered preaching at church? Also thanks so much for the information. I have a similar problem. When I first started walking with Christ I had such a passion for reading the Bible, and I literally absorbed it because I could finally relate to everything it says. It was so comforting. Now, a few years later, I feel it a lot less because it feels like I already know a lot. But deep inside I know that there is always so much new things to learn. Your video has helped me. I have to start reading the Bible with dedication again. May God bless you brother!

[@Miyaa.im2]

Thank you for this precious lesson! God keep guiding you and using your life in His Plans ❤

[@eleanorde-hayes7760]

Having an interleaved Bible helped in my enjoyment of reading God’s word; draws you in with note-taking and creativeness. There are many You Tube videos/podcasts that support Bible reading. At the moment David Guzik’s You Tube series is my motivation to study a Psalm a day. Other’s like Mike Winger are great to promote Biblical thinking.

[@BigPookie247]

The Bible has become my favourite book this year hands down and I’d have to credit that to having someone read it with me (doing a plan on the Bible app). Another thing that makes scripture come to life for me is watching The Chosen! It adds that human aspect to who Christ is. PS: You have really nice teeth. :)

[@takingiteasydaisy]

Thank you for sharing 💜this has been my biggest struggle since July. Your points have given me a new perspective and a lot to think about.

[@VictorResto]

That cross reference in Matthew and Psalms I just learned about recently as well and cross references are so amazing. This is a great video thanks. Just subbed. Young people for Jesus!

God bless you for sharing your experience with our Father. 🙏
