If a Christian is careless in Bible reading, he will care less about Christian living. You see, the Word of God needs to be the primary focus of our spiritual education. Without knowing what God says, the people are often left to their own devices and decisions--and to be honest--that is a dangerous condition. Proverbs 29:18 states, “Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint; But happy is he who keeps the law.” 

Sadly, the culture of so many churches in America are more focused on providing a message of comfort rather than conviction. It is falsely believed that the Word of God must be watered down in order to get a nonbeliever to come back.

However, God’s word is living and powerful, and it does not need man’s rearranging or changing of its potency to convert a soul (Psalm 19:7). Besides, a watered-down presentation of God’s Word only produces water-logged Christians.

You see, there must be a proper presentation of God’s Word, one that honors its authority over popularity. One that presents it in its perfect integrity. Why? Because the Word of God doesn’t just teach us what’s right for us, but it also exposes what’s wrong in us. It is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path, but it’s also an x-ray to our broken soul.

Thus, it is crucial for the believer to spend time in the Bible, that they may receive godly direction, humble correction, and fruitful instruction through the Spirit’s inspiration. 

Besides, there is no other book of literature that comes personally with the Author. "For the Word of God is living and powerful...." (Hebrews 4:12).
