When does diminishing time in God’s word become sinful? Pastor John identifies five symptoms of Bible neglect. We open 2019 working through some important questions about Bible reading, all emailed in to us from you. Thanks for your continued engagement. Today’s question comes to us from a listener in Germany named Michael. “Dear Pastor John, when does a lack of Bible reading become sin? I fear this trend in my own friends. In our Western society, we have easy access to the Bible, but I feel like many Christians spend little, or even almost no time, in the word. A ‘Christian’ that reads a lot and doesn’t act upon it is not better either. Nevertheless, when would you start correcting a fellow believer for not spending enough time in the word?” Episode 1300: https://www.desiringgod.org/interviews/when-does-bible-neglect-become-sinful Related Resources: “I Read the Bible and Feel Nothing — What Should I Do?” https://youtu.be/2Odypthz9aI “Three Reasons to Read the Bible Every Day in 2019” https://youtu.be/qHgocX4mBX0 “I’m Tired and Busy — How Do I Make Time for the Bible?” https://youtu.be/toqUAOA-89U “Why Is My Delight in God So Short Lived?” https://youtu.be/re9VxbvVJzQ Ask Pastor John Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKvMOJ1T8T4&list=PLFF7F6AE365DA3564 Find other recent and popular Ask Pastor John episodes, http://desiringgod.org/ask-pastor-john
