For that matter, an i-phone is only a dream to me with respect to owning one. :) I guess George couldn’t dream of i-phones “back then.”

After seeing the scripture projected on the screen several of the church's youth picked up a pew Bible to see what the verse had to say. Deceptively fun, but kind of sad too. But at least I got some to look. I just remembered the last time I was a guest speaker I referred to 2 Hezekiah 3:16 to drive the point the need to know our Bible more.

Did Barna's research back up the connection? More importantly, his conclusion assumes reading the Bible on a regular basis equates to greater spirituality and/or makes one a better follower of Christ. Is that so?

Is that so?

An approach of mistrust of sorts? However, I have observed in the past 20 years or so (am I really that old?) that there has been a steady decline of members bringing their Bibles to Sunday class and church services. And that started before it was popular to project verses on a screen. Perhaps an approach to get people curious enough to find their Bibles, blow off the dust, and crack them open would be effective for today's church.

I had mixed feelings about that. We had such a high percentage of older members at Long Beach, printing the verses (and song slides w/ notation) just made it much easier for them. Most of the people there would follow along in their own Bibles. I think it is most helpful when the preacher is using a less familiar translation just so people can see the Word in that version.
