If you see a Bible that is falling apart, it probably belongs to someone who isn't!

The Bible isn't meant to just inform us, it is meant to transform us. 40 Days in the Word will teach you how to be not just a hearer of the Word, but a doer of the Word!

It may well be feared, that there is not enough Biblereading among us. It is not sufficient to have the Book. We must actually read it, and pray over it ourselves. It will do us no good, if it only lies still in our houses. We must be actually familiar with its contents, and have its texts stored in our memories and minds. Knowledge of the Bible never comes by intuition. It can only be obtained by diligent, regular, daily, attentive, wakeful reading.

We should discipline ourselves to read the Word until it comes alive...until we can almost feel the breath of God.

I continue to do something I've done since I was 18, and that is read a chapter of Proverbs every day as part of my daily devotion. I still maintain that.

Being a Christian has not and does not come naturally or easy for me. I take that to be a good thing because I am sure that to be a Christian requires training that lasts a lifetime.

When I am in situations where I break out of the pattern, it's hard on me. Once you get used to regular scripture study, you miss it if you don't have it. It's like food - you have to have it.

It was huge to read the Proverbs of the day every morning, it was huge to read the Psalm of the day every morning and to get that in us and get us going before the day even started.

For us to think we can enjoy, understand and practice the Christian religion with just Matthew to Revelation is foolishness.

I hear people all the time say, well I read through the Bible last year. Well, so what? I'm all for reading through the Bible.

I'm a serious Christian. I take my faith seriously. I try to practice it every day of the week, not just on Sunday.

When you're reading the Word of God, you need to let it soak in and let God speak to your heart and let the Holy Spirit work.

I'm not big on faith rules, but if I had to choose one, it would be that every person must choose a faith issue upon which to hang her hat that requires her to change - not somebody else.
