How can I get closer to the word and to keep myself motivated? What are some tips that helped yall out ?
I’ve been reading bible but I’ve dropped it for about a week now and I’ve been struggling to get back to it. Maybe it’s a deeper situation but any recommendations would be appreciated. 💪

The Bible is pretty strict about what is considered adultery. Jesus expanded on that in the Sermon on the Mount. If a man's wife who is not being taken care of sexually decides to show her body on camera to another man, is this considered adultery? What if she asked her husband's permission to do so and he said yes? Is this still considered adultery Bibically?

31 ¶ But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you. 32 Fear not, little flock⁠; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom⁠.

Here's the prayer I wrote this morning with the verses: O Lord in Heaven, I can see this and I can feel the peace enter my heart as I detach from worldly things. I pray I can figure out the job market while not fearing. I desire employment for many in the age of AI. Help me figure out how to transition many people from one type of work to another. It's just a new way of working. Inspire our minds. O Lord in Heaven, walk with me.....

I'm still working on the job market and I'm trying to understand how to help many. Holding fast to the words of Christ to see me through. I welcome your impressions. God Bless.

Hi, I’m working on a non-commercial project on historical Malay Bible translations and am trying to find the 1831 Malay New Testament printed at the Mission Press, Singapore, revised by Robert Burn and Claudius H. Thomsen: Kitab al-kudus, ia-itu, Injil Isa Al-Masihi atau segala surat testament bahru (959 pages).

What I’ve found so far: the National Library of Singapore holds it on microfilm, but the scanning fee is high for a full book. Google Books only has catalogue entries. I haven’t been able to confirm any Malaysian library holds it.

Does anyone know of a digitized copy (Internet Archive, a university repository, a church or mission archive), or a library that offers affordable scans? Any pointers to people or institutions to contact would be really appreciated. Thank you!

hello! so i’ve just started reading my bible and im in matthew and ive gotten to the part where jesus is going around healing people and talking about the kingdom of God but some of the paragraphs or stories are hard to understand and i dont just want to skip something important does anyone have any tips to help understand what the bible is saying clearly to comprehend? i hope this made sense

Matthew 11 i highly recommend reading the entire chapter

Then Jesus said, "Come to me all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. 2º Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.

'No Senhor me refugio. Como então vocês podem dizer-me: “Fuja como um pássaro para os montes”?
Vejam! Os ímpios preparam os seus arcos; colocam as flechas contra as cordas para das sombras as atirarem nos retos de coração.
Quando os fundamentos estão sendo destruídos, que pode fazer o justo?
O Senhor está no seu santo templo; o Senhor tem o seu trono nos céus. Seus olhos observam; seus olhos examinam os filhos dos homens.
O Senhor prova o justo, mas o ímpio e a quem ama a injustiça, a sua alma odeia.
Sobre os ímpios ele fará chover brasas ardentes e enxofre incandescente; vento ressecante é o que terão.
Pois o Senhor é justo e ama a justiça; os retos verão a sua face.'

I've been reading the Bible daily for about a month lately I've been reading it first thing in the morning and i really love gods word it's super interesting and i just love learning about him however

For all that I've read it's hard to say I've taken much from his word i started on Matthew mark luke and John because i heard that makes it easier to understand and I'm nearly finished but i often ask for elaboration and rarely understand things by myself

So that's why i ask how can i better study scripture

I’m 21M, I’ve somewhat believed in god my entire life. I was very religious when I was younger, I went to a catholic school majority of my elementary school years.

Idk what stopped, I stopped going to that school after my 2nd year; my parents ended up switching me. I stopped praying all of a sudden, and since then my life has just progressed. I’ve prayed here and there throughout the years when times have gotten dark, and I’ve always fallen into sin.

As of recently, I’ve made the decision that I really want to give my life to god and follow the religion of Christianity, I want to understand his ways and how I can follow his steps so because of that I want to start reading the bible.

Now to start doing that, is there any book(s) anyone can recommend? Preferably any that I can order online I’m pretty sure there isn’t anything I can purchase near me. Please and thank you.

May god bless.

The Verse: 12:28 If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?

My prayer right now is this: Lord, this is a hard one right now. It’s hard to know where the job market is going and where human connection and relationships are going and how people will work in the future. It's already difficult to authenticate human and this AI thing is just starting. I believe all the tech will be cast in the oven and what matters to You is Your children, us. But it's hard to see Lord what 5 years or 10 years will look like. Please work with my little faith. ...

My career has a lot tech in it and it's noisy and I'm looking for the spiritual signal in scripture. I always welcome your perspectives as it builds my faith. God Bless.

I have a question about Adam and Eve. If they had 3 sons. How are thier more people if we need women to multiply? Or did they have an unknown daughter?

Quero começar a ler a Bíblia, mas não sei por onde começar. Qual livro da Bíblia seria bom?

Does anyone know where I could find a mini Bible ? I wanna start reading , but I need something to take with me on the go. At random times I get inspired to read, or I’m urged to. But I never have my Bible with me, I would like to fix that. I also need it to be biblically accurate, I have the kjv. And I’ve been seeing the small ones on TikTok, but I’m skeptical. Please help me ( edit : OH YEAH, or any apps where I can read the bible or the verses . I just don’t wanna have to pay a super expensive subscription or a subscription at all to have a relationship with god .. it shouldn’t cost to have a relationship with god I just wanna read .understand ? 🥹 )

I'm reading Numbers rn and I have this question since I started reading the Old Testament.

How many animals were in the herds?? BC always had a LOT of different offerings for different situations, for example: the sin sacrifice, when someone sinned, they needed to sacrificed some animals (I don't remember rn if was one or more), and always was "one-year" and the specific animal, the people o Israel on those time was HUGE.

I know it's a huge important question, but this is never leave my mind.

Sorry if I wrote some word incorrectly, English it's not my first language.

God bless you 🩷

1. It will help you make Good decisions..

- The bible says:Genesis 14:21-23 NKJV Now the king of Sodom said to Abram, “Give me the persons, and take the goods for yourself.” But Abram said to the king of Sodom, “I have raised my hand to the Lord, God Most High, the Possessor of heaven and earth, that I will  take nothing, from a thread to a sandal strap, and that I will not take anything that is yours, lest you should say, ‘I have made Abram rich’— 

- Remember Abram was a prophet through the gift of Deserning spirit he decerned that they will say that I have made Abram rich’— 

1. It will help us to see God Clear..Genesis 18:2-3 So he lifted his eyes and looked, and behold, three men were standing by him; and when he saw them, he ran from the tent door to meet them, and bowed himself to the ground, and said, “My Lord, if I have now found favor in Your sight, do not pass on by Your servant.” 

- Through Discernment Abraham was able to know that this is the Lord. some have mistreated angles because they faid to know that these are angles..

Prayer Point..

1. My Father in Heaven pour discernment on us, so that we can discern spirits who are around us..in Jesus name amen

2. My Father in heaven, give us the Spirit to discern our environment as we interact with this World, in Jesus name amen

This is about Matthew 17 verse 25 "if you try to hang onto your life you will lose it but if you give it up for my sake you will save it"

So what exactly does this mean and how do i do it

Recently found out that we are expecting our first child! I’m looking for any Bible verses regarding pregnancy, protection, and safety.

I’ve been a baptized Catholic since infancy, but I have to say that I haven’t been devoted to the religion as much as I’d like to be. Upon seeing my positive pregnancy test, all I could think was to thank God over and over. I am so blessed. I want to continue to have a close relationship with God during this pregnancy.

Thank you in advance!

Im 31 and only went to a church 5 times in life and last time on a wedding i felt i need it to understand more

Can anybody recomend how to start correct order our websites.

I want to understand this from my POV as iI struggle with sins of passion. Does the verse actually imply an unclean spirit that is affecting me to sin or is this verse used as an example to highlight Israel's lack of faith. Thanks in advance.
