Remember

Good reminder as we head toward Easter

USA TODAY recently reported on America’s religious illiteracy. The article included the following interesting statistics that shed light on how well Americans know the Bible:

60% of Americans can’t name five of the Ten Commandments
50% of high school seniors think Sodom and Gomorrah were married
8% of public high schools offer an elective Bible course

Remember that America is now a place of distorted truth and little knowledge of the Bible. If part of your sermon only references a Bible story, there is a good chance that people in the congregation may not be familiar with it or may assume it is about something completely different.
