I think about this and pray about this all of the time. Thank you, Dr. Ryken.

It is a strange thing when people say they are a Christian, but seldom read the Bible. The scriptures are how God speaks to us. Imagine being married to someone for 50 years and you have only spoken for a few hours during that whole time. Reading the Bible gives us revelation, guidance & hope - and so much more! Allan M

I an not religious, but you are right about the power of reading.

Be careful to not be too pretentious. Many of the early Christians couldn’t even read and the Holy Spirit was sufficient to keep them. Grace and peace.
