Is the Bible Being Neglected in Modern Life
A Chicago sermon questions neglect of Scripture, contrasting Bereans who searched daily with Thessalonian readers who read superficially. It cites Bible sales, archaeology, and prominent figures like Lincoln and Gladstone to argue that despite abundance of Bibles, many homes lack readable Word. The piece warns the family altar is fallen, urging daily Bible reading as defense against moral decay and to guide life and nation.
