(American Bible Society, The State of the Bible 2012) Age

"Increasingly, America is biblically illiterate." - George Barna Regarding Biblical illiteracy and discipleship, Christian researcher and author George Barna reports: (2007)

“Bible reading has become the religious equivalent of sound-bite journalism. When people read from the Bible they typically open it, read a brief passage without much regard for the context, and consider the primary thought or feeling that the passage provided. If they are comfortable with it, they accept it; otherwise, they deem it interesting but irrelevant to their life, and move on. There is shockingly little growth evident in people’s understanding of the fundamental themes of the scriptures and amazingly little interest in deepening their knowledge and application of biblical principles... studies-the-research-offers-a-year-in-review-perspective#.UinrSRaTy0s Biblical Illiteracy in US

“The problem facing the Christian Church is not that people lack a complete set of beliefs; the problem is that they have a full slate of beliefs in mind, which they think are consistent with biblical teachings, and they are neither open to being proven wrong nor to learning new insights. Our research suggests that this challenge initially emerges in the late adolescent or early teenage years... In a culture driven by the desire to receive value, more Bible teaching is generally not viewed as an exercise in providing such value.” studies-the-research-offers-a-year-in-review-perspective#.UinrSRaTy0s Biblical Illiteracy in US

✦ We will not believe more than we know, and we will not live higher than our beliefs. ✦ The many fronts of Christian compromise in this generation can be directly traced to biblical illiteracy in the pews and the absence of biblical preaching and teaching in our homes and churches. ✦ We will not believe more than we know, and we will not live higher than our beliefs. ✦ The many fronts of Christian compromise in this generation can be directly traced to biblical illiteracy in the pews and the absence of biblical preaching and teaching in our homes and churches.

2 Timothy 4:1–5 “ I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom: 2 Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; 4 and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. 5 But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.”
