Source This is wonderful material. I constantly try to challenge all of our Vision people to be people of the Book! Just reading it on a regular basis will change you! What do you think of this article? One activity can bring Christians, whether conservative or liberal, together: reading their Bible, a Baylor University research assistant, has reported. Frequently reading the Bible changed the attitudes of all Christians no matter their political background, Aaron Franzen reported in a news release from Baylor’s Association of Religion Data Archives. “Thus, even as opposition to same-sex marriage and legalized abortion tends to increase with more time spent with the Bible, so does the number of people who say it is important to actively seek social and economic justice,” the ARDA release said

Acts 14:18-23 “And with these sayings scarce restrained they the people, that they had not done sacrifice unto them.

Source It has been calculated that an average reader could read the entire Bible in 76 hours. This means that it would only take 12.5 minutes a day to read the Bible in a year. Do you realize that 12.5 minutes is only about 4/5 of a percent of your time each day.
