Are Any of These Your Reasons?

Yet another poll has come out stating what has become an obvious yet painful truth, Americans don't read their Bibles. There are a number of reasons given. All seem to be a sheer veneer for the truth. There are simple antidotes for each of these excuses and yet they persist.

As a pastor I am amazed at how many people don't bring their Bibles to church. We claim to believe that "the Bible is our all sufficient rule for faith and practice" yet we consult it but rarely. We have substituted "book studies" and call them Bible studies, but very little actual Bible content is found in these studies. Is it no wonder that we show so little progress in righting our culture when we don't know how to think biblically. I wonder, will we ever become a Bible people again? I hope so. There is a lot at stake.
