One thing I know is that Joan of Arc is not Noah's wife...

The importance of knowing what is in the Bible cannot be overstated.  Charles Spurgeon wrote for one of his sermons:

"But let me say one thing, before I pass on to the second point. If this be the Word of God, what will become of some of you who have not read it for the last month? "Month, sir! I have not read it for this year." Ay, there are some of you who have not read it at all. Most people treat the Bible very politely . They have a small pocket volume, neatly bound; they put a white pocket-handkerchief round it and carry it to their places of worship; when they get home, they lay it up in a drawer till next Sunday morning; then it comes out again for a little bit of a treat, and goes to chapel; that is all the poor Bible gets in the way of an airing. That is your style of entertaining this heavenly messenger. There is dust enough on some of your Bibles to write "damnation" with your fingers. There are some of you who have not turned over your Bibles for a long, long while, and what think you? I tell you blunt words, but true words. What will God say at last? When you shall come before him, he shall say, "Did you read my Bible?" "No." "I wrote you a letter of mercy; did you read it?" "No." "Rebel! I have sent thee a letter inviting thee to me; didst thou ever read it?" "Lord, I never broke the seal; I kept it shut up." "Wretch!" says God, "then, thou deservest hell, if I sent thee a loving epistle, and thou wouldst not even break the seal; what shall I do unto thee?" Oh, let it not be so with you. Be Bible-readers; be Bible-searchers."

These are tough words, yet I am confronted by a generation of Christian teens who use their Bible as a trophy rather than an exclusive love letter from God.  I played sports growing up.  Every sport has a uniform and or equipment that allow you to be fully dressed for a game.  In baseball, you need your uniform, cleats, hat, and glove.  If you don't have all of those things you can't play in the game.  In our attempts to reach out to unbelievers I feel we may have let our Christian kids off the hook. 

If you never have played baseball before, then how in the world would you know that you needed all of those things in order to take the field?  Us as Christians however, should know better.  We have to constantly understand the value of the book we possess.  Our brothers in faith have been mercilessly slaughtered to protect the very words we take for granted.  A bible is a part of the uniform, and you can't play if you don't bring it, study it, live it. 

WE CAN DO BETTER, GOD DESERVES IT!
