I believe many Christians want something better.
They are tired of the same old Bible teaching that focuses on trite sayings or rudimentary instructions like:
God wants you to do the right things. You don't. You should. Amen.
Instead of experiencing Christianity as a Sunday-only religious activity and as a Monday-through-Saturday operation of secular-humanistic values, this blog attempts to see everything in our world through a Christian biblical lens. In other words, "You are all sons of the light and sons of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness. So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be alert and self-controlled." —1 Thessalonians 5:5-6

There's a Bible Famine in the Land
I am concerned that too many American Christians are disengaged from the Bible.
According to a 2019 Barna study, only 5% of the U.S. citizens surveyed actually engaged with the Bible in a way that it impacted their decision-making. And about 50% are disengaged. And according to a recent 2020 survey conducted by Barna and the American Bible Society, even fewer are engaging with Scripture due to the COVID-19 outbreak.

4 Bible Reading Attitudes Part 4
Previously I introduced 4 diverse attitudes Christians have about the Bible:
- We don’t respect the Bible.
- We respect the Bible, sort of.
- We respect the Bible and use it to justify what we believe.
- We respect the Bible as God’s very words.
Last time I talked about the attitude, We respect the Bible and use it to justify what we believe. People who have this attitude generally respect the Bible, but only when it serves their purposes. They fall short of making it authoritative over their lives.
