Summary

I recently read a brief article that said in 2016, the Barna Group released the results of a 6-year study entitled "The Bible in America: The Changing Landscape of Bible Perceptions and Engagement." The study reports that 62 percent of the people in the communities surrounding our churches would like to read the Bible more. Another study reports 87 percent of the people in our churches want help understanding the Bible better. However, Bible reading is waning. Recent studies demonstrate that in one generation the number of occasional Bible readers has fallen by 20 percent—the equivalent of 700 people per day. The article concluded that it seems that the average person wants the Bible more but he actually reads it less. The brief article was unclear on whether Bible reading was waning with people who actually attend church—hopefully not. But one thing is clear, if we don’t clearly value Scripture, we won’t read it. So what is the value of consistently reading & studying the Word of God?
