Thank you JDJDJD. It's an issue I too struggle with. And I'm finding the book to be very helpful and good reading, so far.

Checking out that book you recommended JDJDJD, I just downloaded the Amazon free sample :)

I'll look forward to it too Luli2016 :)

I've skipped around a bit too

I'm working on adding John 7 .... :)

yes amen!

Thank you mrsmoo so much! It's good to hear that my somewhat random comment had a good effect!

very nice!

that's right, keep up the good work krm :)

yes!

One thing to be careful about when using the "test instead of read" option; you have to somehow tick the box before the verse in question comes up. Otherwise you'll see the verse just before you test on it, and it won't be a true test. At least that is sometimes a problem for me, perhaps not for others :)

good work, Symota!! To answer your question, there's an option to "test instead of read". There's a box which you can tick.

very nicely done!

I thought that perhaps I knew it from memory, but I checked first to see if I remembered accurately. It wasn't precisely in my memory :)

Excellent point, JDJDJD. Psalm 103:7 -- He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel. It's one thing to know His acts, but something much, much better to know His ways.

I felt really glad to see you back, Robinshe. We've obviously never met in person, but someday in heaven we will. May the fellowship here be a strong blessing to you.

that was from joosep actually

that sounds good to me, onfire

A widow gave two small copper coins. Luke 21:2. Jesus she said she had contributed more than anyone else. Your six months or someone else's two days could possibly mean more to the Lord than anyone of us mere mortals knows.

amen, PeterP

congratulations -- excellent achievment.

nicely said, onf247

awesome!

Praise the Lord! Thank you, Luli2016, for not only setting a good example of faithfulness, but also being a consistent gentle-hearted encourager to all on this site.

Yes. The Body of Christ, the Bride of Christ, is something very beautiful.

Thank you Symota! God is good.

I'm so glad you asked that question, Moviegoer. I feel I've benefited in some way from each answer stated above from each individual.

John 5:39-40. I feel the contrast of those two verses is quite important to take note of. Verse 39 .... you search the scriptures .... verse 40 ... you are unwilling to come to Me, so that you may have life.

We can endlessly memorize, quote, study, and read the Bible, and yet if we do not GO to Him, if we do not actually make Him Lord in our hearts and serve Him.... the whole endeavor is pointless.

So my motivation is to know Him through His Word (because indeed, we need to know His Word in order to know Him!), and simultaneously, to pray that I could never be satisfied with a mere head knowledge of the Bible, but that I will simultaneously every morning GO to Him as the answer to and for all of my needs.

At the end of Matthew 11, He also says, Come to Me .....

Thanks much janet23

Thanks much janet23

Well done! 👏🏽

Thank you Symota! God is good.

I like your goal for the entire book, TheMoviegoer.

verrry nice!

good job! Praise the Lord, for the time spent meditating on His Word and going to Him ...

an excellent idea I think, to put these beatitudes all in one set -- something I hadn't thought of before.

I certainly agree, both tools are useful for different purposes. Passages to me also are the best, but selection sets are also very useful for thematic focus :)

sorry, that I didn't read your first comment carefully enough :( . To rvfc2.

Thanks for explaining that, rvfc2. Now I understand. It's a totally different thing when talking about selection sets. I don't use selection sets much, so I don't have much experience with it.

rvfc2: On the Desktop PC version, as you are reviewing, there are three horizontal lines forming a small box just to the right of the percentage rating of the verse (that would be in the upper right corner of the screen). Click on that, and a small menu will appear, including an option to "Test instead of read" That option to test will appear only if that verse is actually not yet due. But once you tick it, it will remain ticked until you untick it.
