| Comment: | We can master the entire Bible and even be totally transformed by the Word; but, if nothing comes from it, it is meaningless and nearly worthless. This is one of the main points of the book of James. Our faith must have a response to it. Yes, we may be saved, but what good is it if we do nothing with it? |

| Comment: | One thing that has helped me when reading through the New Testament quickly, is to use different translations. If I were to read through the New Testament 6, 8, or 10 times in a year, after the third or forth time using another version will bring in new thoughts on verses and passages, that I thought I knew or have become familiar with. |

| Comment: | My following comment only applies to the reading of the bible. It does not apply to the study of the bible. I read a book once in that the author suggest to have two bibles. One for the reading bible which should not have any marks or any personal notes. And the other for the study bible which you mark, underline, write any inspiration on the margin, etc.
For my reading bible, I like a giant or large letter bible. I have a bad eye sight, so practical reason I prefer bibles that have large letter size. As far as making a schedule, I like reading schedule divided by pages rather than chapters. The chapters of the bible can be distraction for me. The origianl bible does not have any chapter division. Practically, you can make your own bible schedule by total pages of your reading bible divided by days you want to read the bible through (30 days, 60 days, 90 days, 180 days and so on). I am using 90 day schedule right now. The way I read is to start from Genesis to Revelations. I believe the order of the books in the bible is also divinely inspired by God. So I like to follow along the way God put it together. Once you establish the schedule, stick to it. There is no short cut in bible reading. Also, ask Holy Spirt to guide you through your reading of the word. The follwing web site helped me a lot. I hope it helps everyone who reads it. |

| Comment: | To be a lover of the Word of God, where you spend as much time as you can in reading (slowly or quickly) and studying it, is not a common thing. The Spirit initiates this love and if we cooperate, the Word of God will become our chief joy in fellowship with Christ! I think if we speed read the New Testament there is something that has helped me. In Matthew 6, it says we should pray to the Father in our closets, and not let our left hand know what the right hand is doing. This should be applied to our reading of the Word of God. It should not be an accomplishment to be broad-casted. This will bring in pride and the Spirit will leave you to yourself in your Bible reading, and it will become a duty and not a joy. |
