You may be wondering... does reading the bible help? Yes it does.
So if you have been wanting a reason to read the bible... read on. 
This is from the YouVersion bible app... or bible.com.
+++++
Why does reading the Bible consistently matter?
Reading Scripture isn’t just something to check off of your list—God’s Word will actually transform your life.
Research shows that destructive habits decrease and positive habits increase when people are in God’s Word at least four days a week.
Someone who reads the Bible four or more times a week is:
- 59% less likely to view pornography
- 74% less likely to gamble
- 407% more likely to memorize Scripture
- 228% more likely to share their faith with others
- 231% more likely to disciple others
These same people are 30% less likely to struggle with loneliness.

"Wake-Up Call provides a daily encouragement to shake off the slumber of our busy lives and turn our eyes toward Jesus. Each morning our community gathers around a Scripture, a reflection, a prayer, and a few short questions, inviting us to reorient our lives around the love of Jesus who transforms our hearts, homes, churches, and cities."
