Is Bible Study Essential? With Nate Vianio - 174
Christian headlines reports that the best-selling book in 2023 was the Bible, but you likely won’t find it on any best-seller lists. The reasons for that vary, but according to The New Yorker, the Bible is quote “the best-selling book of the year, every year.” In 2006, per the New Yorker, the amount spent annually on Bibles has been put at more than half a billion dollars. According to Guinness World Records, the Bible is the best-selling book of all time.
George Barna says 88% of Americans own a Bible, and most own multiple copies. While that’s impressive and even encouraging, the big question is whether Americans who own a Bible actually read it, and more importantly do they believe it and live according to its teachings?
With over 5 billion copies sold, the Bible remains earth’s most-read book. But the world in which we read and engage with the Bible is rapidly changing.
Do you read it? Do you retain it? Is this really an important enough question to ask?
For the next two episodes we sit down with Nate Vianio, the host of Something to Gnaw on Podcast, and we talk about the relevance of God's Word for today. Should you study it and hold close the scriptures to your heart?
Joshua 1:8 says, "Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful."
Do you believe that?
