We have been using the Discovery Bible Study (DBS) system for a few years now, and over the time we have tried and tested the questions to make sure it is simple, biblical and reproducible.
The bible shows us that it is right to be praying for lots of people. There are a few themes and reasons and types of people we should be praying for. Praying for people’s needs. Praying for people’s salvation.
Jesus taught his followers to pray (Matthew 6:5-13) and to pray for people.
John 17:20 “I am praying not only for these disciples but also for all who will ever believe in me through their message.

Because today is the end of 2018 it is good to think about your life (did you use a Bible reading plan?) and how the past year has been.
How was this year for you?
I am sure that you are like most other people and that you want 2019 to be better than this year was.
Over the years I have come to realise that there are 4 things that solid Christians do. In good sized portions all solid Christians:
- read the bible,
- pray fervently,
- share about Jesus,
- and gather regularly with others who do these 3 things.
As a follower of Jesus I think it is vital to do these basic things: read, pray, share the gospel and meet regularly with others who are also doing these things. If you don’t, it will be most likely that you won’t be a good strong follower of Jesus.
