My sister is in the choir at her Catholic church, and I bet she hasn’t opened a Bible in 20 years. My mother is a regular Mass attendee, was in the choir until she got too old, and probably hasn’t read the Bible in 20 years, either.

IMHO, there is nothing more sacred and joyous than lifting up our voices to God in praise, supplication and endless gratitude. Good for you sister.

There is TOO much in the Bible to SOMETIMES confuse me. So, I let those who LIFE'S WORK revolves around, among other things, sacred Scripture, explain meanings. They DO know the confusing, seemingly unfair and unclear meanings and are always ready, willing and able to explain.

This is not a poke in the eye statement.

But you are missing a very critical richness in spiritual growth not examining the scriptures. The apostle Paul commended the Bereans for studying the scriptures to see if what he taught was true/sound (Acts 17).

Just hearing the scriptures at church once a week is a very old model. The Bible is available in so many paper bound numbers and on line in App form you can even read it from a mobile device. So today we don’t really have obstacles to our examination of scriptures daily. We can be like good Bereans every day.

Plus I’ve found the comments such as “the Bible is too difficult to understand” as also a passe notion. Most copies are in the English language and easily read and understood.

That's a great point! I acknowledge my Church's wisdom over my own.
