Do you need to discipline yourself?


Ray Comfort from The Way Of The Master TV show says, "No read, no feed"
If reading your Bible is something that you don't crave, then you need to set the course for intervention now to force yourself to read it. (2Peter 2:2) Ray will not eat until he has read his Bible. Maybe you should try that too. Discipline yourself to read the word if you don't have a craving. Before you know it, you will be starving for it! The Bible says, Fatih comes by hearing and hearing the word of Christ (Rom 10:17), so in order to increase your faith, which comes from the Holy Spirit, we must read His word. To read more of Ray Comfort's perspective on reading the Bible, be sure to read that section under the 'Save Yourself Some Pain' tab of our site.

RULES OF ENGAGEMENT!
If you are going to be ‘Top Gun’ soldier for Christ, then you must adhere to these basics:
1. You must plan on reading the Bible daily.
2. Expect to understand it and take the time to do so.
3. You must agree that it is the infallible word of God.


"All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work." (2 Timothy 3:16,17)
Actually, according to the English Standard Version or "ESV", scripture is God breathed. Understand, the Bible was penned by man but they were all under inspiration of the Holy Spirit. Hence, the Holy Spirit is indeed the author of scripture. You must agree to this truth or none of the Bible will make sense to you because you will only listen to your own logic rather than the logic of God. There are 66 books that make up the Bible or as we like to call them 'love letters'. God has given us divine direction through the Holy Spirit and those men who penned each letter, which enables us to overcome any obstacle by applying the Bible to our lives daily, as if it were the owner's manual to our life. It's even been said that B-I-B-L-E stands for “Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth”. If you look at it that way, you better get a good understanding of it and do it right away
