Bible Knowledge

“I’ve sat in Bible study groups (and cringed) when the leader asked the group, ‘What do you want to study next?’ Like preschoolers craving their favorite snack, people tend toward their favorite Bible books or topics.” - Lifeway

“The head and the heart should not be pitted against each other. We need both. Bruce Ware says, ‘If you don’t have it in your head, you can’t have it in your heart.’” - Randy Alcorn

“It’s not the significant external problems of rising antagonism against convictional Christians in the West or the barrage of lies about gender and sexuality…. An even greater danger threatens the church from within. Many Christians don’t know the Bible.” - Ligonier

“To love God fully, we must first hear from him clearly—not from culture or the latest religious trends or our feelings, but from him—precisely how it is that he wishes to be loved….. Similarly, we limit our knowledge of God, when we limit our pursuit of theology and sound doctrine, we likewise limit our ability to love him rightly.” - Sauls

“I am not arguing that Christians should decide not to engage in politics or civic life. We all have a role to play in our society and if we can influence some changes for the good, I am all for it. However, shouldn’t we be thinking about the most important things and how to achieve them?” - Don Johnson

“Second, we can strive to use the Sunday school hour fully for Bible teaching. In many adult classes announcements, prayer time, and discussion of community events takes up much of the teaching time. Third, we can emphasize Bible reading plans.” - SBC Voices
