Trust in the Bible by Dr. Jim Denison
It's no coincidence that unbiblical morality (immorality) is increasing as trust in the Bible decreases.
Since 1990, the American Library Association has released each year a list of the ten "most challenged books." Now the ALA has released its 2015 list. For the first time, The Holy Bible is on the list. The only reason given: "Religious viewpoint."
According to a recent survey done by the Barna association, the percentage of adults who read the Bible once a week or more is steadily declining.

According to a recent survey done by the Barna association, the percentage of adults who read the Bible once a week or more is steadily declining.
Its highest readership is among Elders (49 percent) and its lowest readership is among Millennials (24 percent).
In addition, the number of people who disagree strongly that "the Bible is totally accurate in all the principles it teaches" has nearly doubled in the last six years.
How does your reading of the Bible affect these statistics?
