Hello ,
A parable is told of a new minister who was asked to teach a boys class in the absence of their regular Bible School teacher. He decided to see what they knew,so he asked who knocked down the walls of Jericho. All the boys denied having done it, and the preacher was appalled at their ignorance.
At the next deacon's meeting he told about the experience. "Not one of them knows who knocked down the walls of Jericho." he lamented. The group was silent until one seasoned veteran of disputes spoke up. "Preacher, this appears to be bothering you alot. But I've known all those boys since they were born and they're good boys. If they said they didn't know, I believe them. Let's just take some money out of the repair and maintenance
fund, fix the walls and let it go at that."
As ridiculous as this may sound, there are many people who simply don't know anything about the scriptures and what they contain. It's tragic, but there's a solution for anyone who wants to be biblically literate; read it. God's word, open it, read it, let it change your life.
Have a great day and God bless!
