The Problem: Two Extremes
Biblical Illiteracy Lack of Application
• Most widely ‘known’ Bible
verse –
“God helps those who help
themselves”
• When given 13 basic Bible
teachings, only 1% of adult
believers firmly embrace all
13 as Biblical
The Problem: Two Extremes
Biblical Illiteracy Lack of Application
• some believers are Bible
Trivia experts but have little
heart change as result
(Romans 12:1,2)
• there is little statistical
difference between believers
and non-believers in areas
such as divorce, pornography,
alcohol and drug addiction
