The Importance of Biblical Literacy (Part 1)

Welcome!

Today, we’re talking about biblical literacy.

Why is it important for people in our culture — especially believers — to know the Bible? 

Well, today we’re in a cultural battle of ideas, and Scripture tells us what TRUTH is.

During World War II, Dr. Gordon Eadie wrote an article challenging the men serving on the home front not to forget WHY America was fighting overseas, saying, “So many of these boys have only a very hazy idea of the real issues of the war . . . If they don’t stand for something, they will fall for anything. They need to realize that we are fighting two wars—the war of arms and the war of ideas.”

Likewise, Christians who don’t take a stand for biblical truth are likely to be deceived by this world’s philosophies. And the first step in taking a stand for the Bible is KNOWING IT!

And why else is biblical literacy important? We’ll discuss that another time.
