Hi, I grew up Christian and always believed in God but never studied the Bible. I am now getting to a point where I would like to read and study the Bible but don’t know where and how to start. Do I read the Bible first? Do I go straight into reading from start to finish? Do you guys have any advice? Thanks in advance :)

Having a rough time with my personal life at the moment and cant get over this question/problem.
What is the reason for fighting evil or figthing for a "noble cause" or even just being a "good person" when it doesnt come naturally anymore? When you have faced so much hate and lost so much hope in today's world that you mostly just feel angry and bitter. When you don't care about being a good person anymore, and being evil towards other people doesn't bring you any guilt at all. Sometimes you even enjoy it.
It's probably uncomfortable in the long run, but saving yourself from wasting away is not enough of a motivation anymore, what then?
Im not sure whether i believe that there are good and evil forces, or it is just another construct of society.
I believe that the reason most people chose to be good people is because it either comes naturally or they feel better that way. I also think that chosing evil is the easier path, and chosing good is the harder one, the one you have to fight for. Until now that was enough of a motivation, but recently i asked myself: what am i fighting for exactly? And now im lost.
As part of my University studies, I decided to do an exploration of faith through different mediums. I have created a Forum section on the website, (work in progress), and I would really appreciate it if people talked about what the word faith means to them. This definition is kept extremely open ended by design, as I don't want to define what it means to you. You can do this through stories, photographs, blogs, etc. Everything is welcome. Please note that this is a student project and a lot more content is yet to come.
You know what will happen when we die because you believe the Bible. If you know God you do not have to fear death. If you don't know God and you don't believe the Bible, you should fear death.
Have faith in God. He has provided the Resurrection and the Life.

You can be very good about not allowing your body to physically unite with anybody or everybody you meet - yet be very promiscuous with your mind. We need to be the same way about our minds that we are about our bodies. When we allow our minds to unite with any and every thought - we become very promiscuous with our minds.
To be loose with your mind is to simply think thoughts you shouldn't think, to think wrong thoughts. They don't have to be sexual, just things you shouldn't be thinking about. Casting down Imaginations and taking captive every thought that exalts itself against what God has already said you should or should not do. That's God's answer to a promiscuous mind.
Brother Greg
Your head will pull you one way, your heart will pull another. Conflict will always result if you try to listen to your head while following your heart. Silence your head and follow your heart. That's how to be still and know He is The Lord. We can only see God with the eyes of our heart, not with the eyes of our head.
“Where are you, beloved? You are lost, chasing after every unclean thing in a world which seeks only to consume you! Come home! COME HOME, MY BELOVED ONES! There is no more time to tarry! “ ~ “Only One who can fulfill your heart’s innermost desire... I am He, beloved! I AM HE! YahuShua is My name!”
“Beloved, come out from among them and be joined unto ME!...”

Last night I was driving home thinking about a conversation I had with my father on whether or not god was real. I had been trying to show him that the reason I couldn’t imagine god exist but he could was because he had faith. I was just thinking over the conversation when I turned up the radio as “you gotta have faith” by George Michael came on. I had started to sing along not realizing the words until it hit me that I was literally singing to myself “you gotta have faith”. Recently my past few years have been a whole existential crisis and I’ve struggled with the why of life enough to the point where things feel pointless. Should I take this event as a sign to invest myself more into a church or am I reading to much into a coincidence? I’m turning 18 this year and I’ve just been so lost looking for something, anything. Is this it ?
Hello, please take my survey! It is on beliefs, faith & vegetarian/veganism and other diets. I'm looking for all kinds of people to respond not just vegetarians or vegans but even if you have no dietary restrictions. I'm primarily looking for information about religions.
Is it a sin to ask God for proof that he’s there? A true question from someone struggling bad.
guys. I grew up in a Christian surrounding. I was very religious at first, but I kind of departed from God until now. I have refound my Christian faith, but I see a lot on social media on how Islam is perfect, and that a few of the passages in the bible have been remodeled, changed, and that the Quran is has stayed perfect, not a slight deviation in it, and it is completely God's word. My faith is pretty strong, but I have also seen how strong pure and profound the faith of muslims are, stronger than mine, and it is really starting to make me question my faith in christianity and the bible. This makes me feel as though I am sort of letting go of Jesus, yet I also feel as though maybe my faith isn't what it is. What should I do?
Hebrew 10:36
For you stand in need of patient endurance, so that, as the result of having done the will of God, you may receive the promised blessing.
I shall set my feelings aside and live by faith. For my God is a miracle working God! I still believe! Woo! Hallelujah!
I made this for anyone who is feeling down and feel beat up by life! Don't give up no matter how difficult the battle is! Lift your heads up and keep on fighting! Tomorrow is a new day so don't allow life to beat you up! It is faith that kept me alive today! Had I not had faith, I'd be dead today, so keep pushing forward!
During my dream, I started feeling a sense of feeling my actual surroundings. I remember walking in my dream and all of a sudden I'm in my bed getting hugged from behind. That on its own would've been creepy, but that just getting "worse". I was still fast asleep n in my dream at this time so when the hugging got tighter and tighter, my dream slowly started ending too. The moment my dream ended, I started hearing screeching voices, of not 1 but several people just echoing from behind me and this kept getting louder and louder. At this point I knew I was no longer dreaming, I was getting squeezed and cries of agony became the only thing I could hear. I was unable to move. My arms were just numb? The screeching wasn't the type to deafen people and the hug almost felt like how little children would hug their stuffed animal with all their might. What scared me the most was a sense that something dark was covering me, and the worst part was, that I was giving in to it. In a sudden flash I remembered of God n started feeling blessings in ways I can't ever describe in words. I felt a sense of control n took over, got up n now I'm sitting here in bed trying to process what just happened. Since I'm from the east side of the world, it's Sunday and I'll be going to church today! The pain has dissipated after I said my prayers and now I feel more energetic than I can ever remember. Amen! Praise the Loving God! Yahweh, My Loving Father!
A fascinating video on the secrets of DNA (and why prayer is so powerful).

First of I would like to start of saying, I apologize for this message and not just for asking for financial help but having to ask people I've not had a the pleasure of meeting before. I have never asked for money from anyone before and I only am now because I'm afraid I'll lose everything I spent the last 10 years creating with my amazing wife and I can't let her down .please at least take a minute and hear my messages of a man that's down farther than he's ever been asking questions he's worked hard his hole life to avoid having to ask, it is a hit I'm my pride and incredibly humbling to be in a place of sonmuch need and having absolutely 0 control of what happens. I've never needed to have my faith in humanity restored more than I do now. Please help me in any way. Everything helps. Thank you I am a hard working guy and I have always made sure my family is taken care of and do everything I can to help the people around me. I work 4 to 6 days a week and 12-16 hour shifts and I have always earned my own way, recently my work started in with temporary layoffs and now I am having to swallow my pride and ask for help. If I go another week without pay due to these layoffs I am going to lose my home and car, our electricity is about to get shut off and I am at a loss as to what I should do. So I'm asking the awesome people of reddit for help. My wife is disabled and I bring the only income into the house and I cannot do this alone right now. Can anyone possibly help me out in a horrible time of need? I've never taken handouts in my life but I'm afraid I have no choice. If anyone could please help I would be forever grateful to you. I don't know what else to do. I have venmo and cashapp if anyone see's it fit to help me out. I have never asked/begged for a handout in my life but I just don't know what else to do. And literally as I'm trying to write this my car won't start and I'll most likely have to figure out how to get a battery or do something to fix it. I apologize for the long message of me just complaining but I have to figure something out soon, very soon or we will be on the streets. Please anyone HELP ME, PLEASE!

Please help, anyone listening. This is my last chance at hope. Thank you all.
I believe in souls i think it makes our life have meaning , at the age of 35, I lost mine. I have no idea who I am anymore. I just needed something to believe in, I NEEDED my soul and I found my FAITH instead . not the god or bible Everyone kept telling me to find. I believe that Gods were created by men. inspired by what holds “His” people in it - The Universe. I think humans created gods and religion to control civilizations. Man tarnished the beauty in what I would consider FAITh. Let me repeat That is my OPINION. I found my soul in the universe and I have to learn this faith in order to learn this soul. I’m not sure how.?.
Hey everyone! My name is Syed and I am a PhD student in psychology who creates videos related to my research areas of faith, meaning, spirituality and well-being. In today’s video, I speak about utilizing spirituality within a communal or ecological framework (using a clip from the Disney film 'Coco') and the noted differences in behavioral outcomes between those who identity as 'religious but not necessarily spiritual' and 'spiritual but not necessarily religious.’
