The Bible has sold more then 6 billion copies and has been around longer than any book in the the world. With those staggering numbers I wonder how many people have actually read it? Thanks to technology you can now access the Bible on your computer, smart phone and tablet which makes that number of 6 billion only increase in regards to the availability of the Bible.
If you read the Bible or not you cannot say it doesn't have an influence in the world we live in. Look at our laws. Many of the laws today are laws that were first written in the Bible clearly showing that this country was formed on Godly principles. I think the churches job and the job of spiritual leaders is to teach and enforce God's word to the people so they can go out and follow what the Bible says. If you're not in a Bible teaching church I pray you find one that's going to tell you the truth.
What's interesting is many don't realize what the bible and Christian influence have accomplished for the betterment of our lives, especially in the US. People are often taught to despise the Bible yet these same people walk around enjoying a good life with abundance here in free America which really we owe this all to God's word. Amazing how people can read the truth (Bible) and not believe in it. This country we live in has been taught to believe in what feels good and what they want. When Jesus was preaching and teaching people didn't believe so what are we to expect today? If you read the word and know the word my prayer is you share it with family and friends who may not know the truth for themselves yet.
