Many theologians/bible scholars will tell you that Biblical literacy among Christians is at an historic low point. Ironically, there has never been a time when Christians were so into so-called ‘worship.’ How can these two events, biblical illiteracy and a great passion for worship, be happening at the same time? Simple answer: THEY CAN’T. In fact, they DON’T. Think about this logically: if biblical literacy is so low at this point in western history, then the God of the Bible is not the god that is being worshipped, but rather a shallow and incomplete version of Him. Or coming from the other perspective, if worship today is really so profound and life altering, then the knowledge of that which is being worshipped would have to be at an incredibly high and accurate level. These two ideas, high biblical illiteracy and a worship renewal/revival movement, can not be happening at the same time.
So which one is occurring now? I’ll let you think about it…..
