Having said that, we must realize that difficult is not impossible. Jesus said that we could know the truth and that it would set us free, John 8:32, but to know it we have to continue in his word, John 8:31. We can't give up simply because something is hard. None of us would be walking today if we had given up the first time it was difficult and we lost our balance and fell.
There is another reason that some don't read the Bible. They live under the misguided idea that what you don't know won't hurt you. One poll showed 57% believe the Bible should shape their daily lives " a great deal", but how can it if it is not read? Some are afraid that they will find something in the Bible that will force the choice between doing what the Bible says and continuing to live as they are against the Bible teachings. More next time.
