I've only been reading the Bible everyday for 4 months, yet this is also what I have taken from those readings.
That’s awesome! What got you started reading the Bible?
A confluence of many different things brought me to getting a Study Bible and downloading the Bible app in October:
- Never feeling fulfilled by the faith I was brought up in despite desperately trying
- Conversations over the last 5 years with close friends about the meaning-crisis in the West and how so many people, including me, seem to have a god-shaped hole (that some are filling with a fervour social justice ideology, not me - I'm actually working against that in my fiat work with corporates)
- convos with two friends, one who became Christian 3 years ago and one who did maybe 10 months ago
- Listening to Nick Freitas on his podcast and how his world view is shaped by his faith. Strange because I initially started listening to him for the political content
- Listening to Wes Huff on Joe Rogan
In December I experienced the forgiveness and grace of God that let me shed the weight of so many past things I've been carrying. And I've basically been doubly committed ever since. I also searched for guidance on my fiat and Bitcoin work, found it, and now I am doubly committed to that too - well almost doubly 😂
When I get back from my travels I plan to find a Church and go as regularly as possible.
I saw the Hanoi Cathedral a few weeks ago at night and it was quite beautiful, considering how young it is, relatively speaking.
Exciting to hear that. Thanks for sharing!
Just keep spending as much time in the Word as you can.
All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.
2 Timothy 3:16-17
