This Good News
The American Bible Society’s annual State of the Bible report shared this encouraging information about Bible reading: Millennials saw a 29% increase in Bible use from 2024 to 2025 and men saw a 19% increase; among members of Gen Z, Scripture engagement rose from 11% in 2024 to 15% in 2025; and 51% told the American Bible Society they would like to read the Christian Scriptures more often.
We read in Romans 1:16, “I am not ashamed of this Good News about Christ. It is the power of God at work, saving everyone who believes.” One of the ways our Lord uses us in His service is to encourage others to read the Scriptures. To help you with that, there are copies of the New Testament available on the information table in the south lobby to pick up and share with others. Perhaps you can begin by reading through one yourself, highlighting passages that are meaningful to you, and then sharing it with a friend.
The Spirit is at work through the Word. Let’s help put people in a position where that work will be done in their lives as well as in ours.
