Have you ever read the Bible? The whole Bible? Most Christians have not. One survey found that only 1 in 5 Christians have read through the whole Bible. Another found that same amount—1 in 5—have never read the Bible.
Here’s the starling fact according to an article from Christianity Today:
A recent LifeWay Research study found only 45 percent of those who regularly attend church read the Bible more than once a week. Over 40 percent of the people attending read their Bible occasionally, maybe once or twice a month. Almost 1 in 5 churchgoers say they never read the Bible—essentially the same number who read it every day… LifeWay Research found that while 67 percent of Americans believe heaven is a real place, 45 percent believe there are many ways to get there—including 1 in 5 evangelical Christians. More than half of evangelicals (59 percent) believe the Holy Spirit is a force and not a personal being—in contrast to the orthodox biblical teaching of the Trinity being three Persons in one God. As a whole, Americans, including many Christians, hold unbiblical views on hell, sin, salvation, Jesus, humanity, and the Bible itself.
Here’s another fact: half of the books of the Bible can be read in ten to forty-five minutes each, and many of them can be read in less than twenty. The entire Old and New Testaments can be read aloud slowly and with expression in less than seventy-one hours.
The problem is that Christians don’t know their Bibles on the whole. They don’t know the word of God. Therefore, they’re ignorant of what it says and what it means. If we are ignorant of what it says, then we can’t be influenced by it, nor influence people through it.
20th-century Bible teacher and author A.W. Tozer (my posthumous mentor) said this about Scripture:
“And we must not select a few favorite passages to the exclusion of others. Nothing less than a whole Bible can make a whole Christian.”
Every year, Berean Home Fellowship encourages its members and other believers to read through the entire Bible together as a church. This year, we have gone a step further.
This year, we have implemented the 669 Initiative based on Deuteronomy 6:6-9.
“And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.”
Every week, you will get in your email a schedule of what to read each day and an overview of that day’s content.
Plus, we throw in some other goodies.
