Amos 5:11
The King James Bible—the bestselling book of all time, the most quoted book in the English language celebrated its 400th anniversary in 2011. The Bible is
widely reported as the most-printed and most-distributed books in the world, with many hundreds of millions of copies believed to be in existence. But even though this book is the most distributed book of all time, it is also rarely read and most people have never read the Bible in it's entirety. Even the atheist recognizes this aspect.
The atheist makes these following statements. "Not all copies of the bible are read, and almost none are read cover to cover. If we turns our attentions to a modern novel, it would be a bizarre and ludicrous experience to only read a few pages in the middle and ignore the rest. And remember all those abandoned copies of the bible that lie in bedside draws in hotels across the country, which are never read, and rarely even seen by a living creature. The same story goes for hundreds of bibles locked in school teaching cupboards, which if anything, are read even less, as the pupils almost invariably aren’t interested in them."
Sadly, the atheist are probably right in this aspect. Today there is no thirst or hunger to read God's Word by most people. We live in a world where our attention span is getting shorter and shorter. TV understands this and that is why you see the same commercials over and over again. We need to thirst for the Word of God and feel like something is missing when we don't get a chance to read His Word. If God took away the Word of God would we even miss it?
