My Bible: reasons to believe in the power of the Bible
‘There are some people who make fun of me because I’m a Christian. I don’t take it seriously. I read the Bible app on my phone every day. It helps me not to do things, temptations like looking at things online, saying things I shouldn’t say, being unpleasant, joining in the banter and being horrible and unkind to someone, or drinking alcohol.
A lot of people say, “I smoked, I drank, I looked at these videos online”. And they brag. They don’t see it as a bad thing. That’s difficult for me. What should I say?
The Bible app helps me to get to know God better and brings the Bible alive. I like the verse about us being God’s temple, so we have to keep it clean for God (1 Corinthians 3.16).
When I first started reading the Bible app, to be honest, I found it difficult and I was tempted to go on Snapchat instead. Now I have put the WiFi off and I’m reading the Bible first thing in the morning, so I don’t get distracted.
The phone is really handy because I find it more difficult to read a book. I can’t follow it as well. With the phone it’s really helpful because I can see what my friends have read as well. They make notes and put pictures up and I can read that too. I want to talk to people about God. I want to share about him with lots of people.’
