They're desperately searching for meaning in their lives but they will not crack the Bible open.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If you come at the Bible as if it's a document of encyclopedic information, you've pretty much killed any kind of life change in a seeker and unbeliever.
People just overshoot trying to find God. They're going outside and trying everything. They don't realize that it's right inside themselves.
Many of those who once were so passionately in love with Christ now run about pursuing their own interests. They're burdened down with stress and problems, chasing after riches and the things of this world.
Scriptures reveal the divine desires of the Lord in our behalf. Each of us should have a burning desire to search the scriptures diligently and daily to seek the will of the Lord in our life. For some, it may be necessary to develop the discipline to search the scriptures daily.
There are some Christian people who taste and see and enjoy religion in their own souls, and who get at a deeper knowledge of it than books can ever give them, though they should search all their days.
People are looking for something a little more stable; people are feeling like they need to get closer to God.
Let us hope that good authors who are bad Christians will find salvation through the books they write.
There are some people who are always on the run, so much so that they find it hard to fit in the study of God's word.
People are hurting and looking for answers. The Gospel gives us hope.
Those people who think they know the Gospel, and it doesn't have any meaning for them, they're the people we have to find a way to touch, to invite once again to the embrace of Christ.
