I don't receive the same blessing from electronic media as I do the printed word.
I do receive confirmation by Holy Spirit regularly.

It's extremely easy to fall into the secular world. It's glittering and they'll gladly think for you. Turn it off. Life goes by like a minute. Take one's precious time and read.

op: Drawn to Scriptural Urgency?
Yes, the older I get, I may not be around tomorrow!!

I experience this often. I have since downloaded a Bible app on my phone.
Excellent! Nothing like carrying His Precious Word Of Truth wherever you
go.
...we must continue to feed not just our minds but our souls with spiritual nutrition...Do you believe in the rapture?
Precious friends, A Very Warm Welcome to Chat.

Yes, I believe in: Great GRACE {MYSTERY} Departure
Any questions, please let me know...

Precious friends:
Please Be Very RICHLY Encouraged, Enlightened, Exhorted, And Edified In:

The LORD JESUS CHRIST, And In His Word Of Truth, Rightly Divided!

GRACE And Peace...

We moved a few months ago and I have yet to re-establish a church for our household. We are surrounded by them here, but I will need to dig in find the right one....To have such a sense of urgency to read the New Testament and in a hurry is clear...Take one's precious time and read.
Precious friend, A Very Warm Welcome to Chat. I will pray for you.

Hopefully this helps as you "dig in to find the right one." I would
ask: "Do they know how to follow God's Command"?:

"Study to shew thyself Approved Unto God, a workman that needeth
not to be ashamed, Rightly Dividing The Word Of Truth." (2 Timothy 2:15)

If not, then I would Urgently ask myself: "Are they Approved Unto God"?

Precious friend, as you Urgently Endeavour to Grow In God's GRACE,
Please Be Very RICHLY Encouraged, Enlightened, Exhorted, And Edified In:

The LORD JESUS CHRIST, And In His Word Of Truth, Rightly Divided!

GRACE And Peace...

PS. In my view, to see Exactly What God Is Doing Today, my suggestion
would be Urgently "reading through" Romans - Philemon several times
in a row. Then take your time with the Rest Of The Bible, as we are
exhorted to "...live By Every Word That Proceedeth Out Of The Mouth
Of God."
(Mat 4:4; Luk 4:4 Deu 8:3), Correct?

ps2. I usually "read all the way through" in about a year. Precious Words...

ps3. This was proposed Urgently, as I said: "I may not be around tomorrow"... See you in God's Great GloryLand ♫ :)

or email: berean@BereanBibleSociety for a possible list of
Rightly Divided assemblies or home-study groups in your area?

It is important to know their mission statement and if they work solely from the Holy Bible and have they bent some traditions to appease the woke?

Your so correct, God's words are all the truth depths of our souls hunger for. It was a creation inside of us. The Spirit filled Word (Jesus is the Word, John 1:1) is the fulfillment of that hunger, the only thing that can satisfy the souls need!
