USA (MNN) -- Meanwhile, Back to the Bible's President and Bible Teacher Woodrow Kroll gives us an update on Bible illiteracy in the United States. "Bible literacy is not a problem in the church. Bible literacy is THE problem in the church. It impacts everything else we do. The problem, Bible illiteracy, is not that people can not read the Bible, it's they don't read the Bible. Research shows that every American (on average) owns three copies of the Bible, but they don't read any of the three." Kroll says they started the Bible Literacy Center one year ago to help find out why. While that's not clear, the impact of not reading God's Word is clear. "We rob ourselves of a moral position if we don't know the Word of God. We get stuck into spiritual infancy. Certainly (we have an) inability to defend our faith, or even share our faith." Back to the Bible has resources to help. Go to our website to get connected.
