Biblical Illiteracy

I have to admit, I have been extremely surprised at the level of biblical illiteracy among God's children. Why is this phenomena occurring? I think that we have such an influx of Bible teachers that we simply don't believe that we need to read the Bible for ourselves or to practice what the Bereans did in Acts 17:11 'And the people of Berea were more open minded than those in Thessolonica, and they listened eagerly to Paul's message. They searched the scripture day after day to see if Paul and Silas were teaching the truth.' The Bereans had a goal: they wanted to know the Truth that could set them free and they were responsible enough to know the scripture to make certain that they were not being misled.

I once spoke at a conference that had a speaker who taught that Christians would 'get a demon' by viewing The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe movie. The biblically illiterate Christians bobbed their heads in unison as though they just knew that to be truth. However, it is hogwash. Kenneth Copeland teaches that faith is a 'force' that is released etc. That's not exactly what the Bible teaches. The Bible teaches that faith is simply a believing trust in God and His word. Do you see how easy it is to be led astray if one does not know the scripture and relies on others to teach you?

Folks, I will do everything that I can to assist you in your biblical understanding. We have a link StudyLight, that has a vast amount of free resources for your understanding. I will post offers for free CDs, MP3s, bible software and biblically balanced articles on topics. I also strongly recommend that you request your free MP3 Bible. However, only you can do as the Bereans did; search the scripture day after day for the Truth.
