Reading the Bible
In a typical week, during how many days, if any, would you read the Bible, not including the time you are at church? Daily, 13%; 3 times a week, 32%; Not at all, 43%.
Barna Research Group, 1992
If I but Read
The Lord I love went on ahead To make a home for me He said. He would come back again, and He Oh, Gracious Love He wrote to me!
He knew I was so weak and blind And foolish, that I could not find The road alone. He wrote me things That all earth’s wisemen and its kings
Have never guessed but I foreknow. For I read His letter and oh The depths of love on every sheet My soul is trembling at His feet
What would He have thought of me If when I saw Him I should say I was to busy everyday To read the letter You wrote to me
I really hadn’t time for Thee.
