Writing in 1937, in a book subtitled, A Study of Some Pressing Tasks and Problems of Present-Day Protestantism, William Adams Brown listed as one of the key problems this:

“The fact remains that great numbers of our children are growing up practically pagan with not even a bowing acquaintance with that greatest of all our treasures, not only as religion but as literature, the English Bible” (The Minster: His World And His Work, 164).

In 75 years this problem has only gotten worse. What steps will you and your church take this year to begin changing this? Some helps using the Read the Bible for Life material can be found here. A multitude of steps are available to us. We must act to point people to the Scriptures.
