John--A Good Place to Start
A good place for a new Christian to start reading the Bible is the book of St. John in the New Testament. In the Old Testament, the book of Proverbs is an excellent choice. It has 31 chapters, one for each day of the month. You will gain wisdom way above your peers by reading a chapter a day in Proverbs for at least a year! "...they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so." Acts 17:11

Daily Bible Reading
The Bible is where you get the wisdom and strength to live for Jesus in a world full of grief, pain and sin. If you are a new "baby Christian," you need the "milk of the word." It is necessary "food" for the soul. In the Old Testament, God spoke to people through dreams, prophets, etc. Today, we have his Word. This is the main way God speaks to us and where we get instructions on how to live the Christian life. Read it every day to find out what God wants you to know for that particular day.
"As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby." 1 Peter 2:2

Pray Without Ceasing
As Christians, we should stay in an "attitude" of prayer. It need not be long prayer with "theeīs" and "thouīs," but we should have a readiness in our hearts to talk with our Heavenly Father at all times. A lot of my own prayer is in one- or two-sentence thoughts at a time. In general, just talk to God as you would your best friend, for he is, and he is always there to listen!
1 Thes. 5:17, "Pray without ceasing."

Pray Regularly
Just as we hear from God through his Word, he hears from and communes with us through prayer. We need to pray regularly and have planned times of prayer. What we don´t plan, we generally neglect. When you awake, when you read God´s word, at mealtimes, and at bedtime are all good times to pray. (You can find more helpful hints on prayer under the category "Learning to Pray.") "Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice." Psalm 55:17

You Donīt Have to be Wise
God sometimes uses the most unlikely people (in our opinion) for His glory. Christ gave His blood for all, and He can use ANYONE who has received Him as their Lord and Saviour. You only have to be willing!
For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; 1 Cor. 1:26-27

Your Teacher, The Holy Spirit
As a Christian, you now have the Holy Spirit dwelling in you as your spiritual guide. He came in when you accepted Christ, and He will never leave you! (Heb. 13:5)It is He that opens your understanding when you read the Bible and gives you discernment to make good choices and to live the Christian life. He will whisper to your heart in a "still, small voice" and you will know He is speaking and showing you the next steps to take.
"But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things..." John 14:26

Find and Use Your Talent
Everyone has at least one particular talent, or "gift." Mine is encouragement. I try to encourage others through writing, sending cards and notes, asking how people are doing in a sincere attitude, finding something cheerful about an otherwise gloomy situation, etc. Your talent could be one of a number of gifts. Some have the gift of teaching, some preaching (but a novice isnīt ready for these yet!). If you donīt know what your talent for the Lord is, just continue to pray, read Godīs word, be faithful in church, and be patient until until God shows you what he wants you to do for him.
1 Cor. 12:4, 12,"Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ."
