Please give me some time to finish the poll. It's multiple choice.
 
I like reading the bible. I find it to be an amazing work of literary art despite it being the inspired word of God. Not only is it always an interesting read, but its also alive with the spirit of God's timeless wisdom and beauty. A famous atheist named Richard Dawkins recently stated that he truly feels the bible should be in every classroom simply because of its literary magnificence. I tend to agree (with it being in every classroom, not with atheism).
 
I picked all the options except the first one and the last two. I like reading the Bible, which is my only foundation, but I also like reading other books, Christian and secular (secular as long as they aren't sinful). I translate Christian online articles for a friend who lives in Mexico so I definitely love those, and I like listening to sermons once in a while.

I like formal Bible studies (Though I like unformal BibleStudys better.)
I like to listen to sermons online (Joseph Prince(I seriouly recommend everyone listen to this guy), and Keith Moore)
I like to read about current events and how they relate to our faith (Not really read, but I just watch the 700 Club and get Pat Robbersons's commentary. )
 
I admit...I can't say I've read my bible in a while. I quit going to church around thanksgiving last year because it just wasnt the right church for me, there were lots of singles inbetween the ages of 18-22 and a lot of married couples who were my age, then families. Nowhere I really fit in though. So it felt weird and I just quit waking up for it. The bad part is I haven't opened my Bible since then either. And now its in a moving box somewhere. I think.
 
Reading scripture is a passion for me. It saved my life. Literally. I can't get enough of it. I don't ever want to. It's boundless love. Boundless wisdom. Boundless energy. Boundless faith. Boundless strength.

I will occasionally read other things, but quickly become bored if it's too long, nitpicky or legalistic. The words of man are found lacking compared to the Word of God.

Not a fan of listening to sermons online where someone is screaming at me or focusing entirely from a conspiratorial or negative perspective without pointing out the hope and choices we have in Christ.
 
Strangely was looking for my VS2 cologne today and happened to randomly find my bible in one of the boxes. Maybe its time to crack the cover again.
 
I truly love the word of God and I'm trying to read it daily, but for some reason lately it seems to be a challenge to make time. (Still working on my priorities.) I am a reader though and I read a little of everything.

Bible study is also great because it holds me accountable to get into scripture :)

I think one of the biggest things that helps me stay on track is simply having conversations with other believers. I love hearing what others are going through and how even though we go through different things, the Lord teaches us similar things. It's such a blessing! I love the way some people make me thing and seek the Lord even more.
