Why do you read your Bible? I used to read my Bible for a testimony. I used to read my Bible because it was expected of me. I read my Bible now: to find out the best way of doing something. because I know I should. because it gives me hope. because it tells me more about who God really is. because it strengthens my relationship with God. because it makes me alive inside. because it helps me know how to relate and talk to people to check whether something is true or not Brad

Today I love to read my bible and related materials, because it helps me know more about God, who his is and what he desires of us. My husband and I love to read to one another each night before we go to sleep. Best! E

Probably for the same reason you read yours; likely one of the *only* things we agree on! M.

I read the bible because I need something to speak on on Sunday morning, and Wednesday nights.
I read cause the workers told me too.

That is why I read my bible also. The times I read it only for a testimony are the times I get nothing out of it, so now my testimony has to come from what I have read that fed my soul. I believe that is what is meant by sharing bread with others.
