I am an advocate for more Bible reading during church services. Faith comes from hearing the word of God. 99% of churches neglect the public reading of Scripture. The Holy Spirit can not operate well in a Scriptural desert.
"My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.'' Hosea 4:6
The public reading of Scripture is an ancient tradition that was passed onto the first Christians by the Apostles. Our brothers who lived during the first four centuries of the Church's existence devoted far more time to reading the word of God aloud during their meetings than we do today. Few people study the Scriptures as much as they should. It is therefor the duty of every church leaders to read the books of the Bible, from the Book of Genesis through the Book of Revelation, in the hearing of church members, their children, and unsaved visitors, while also continuing to preach, and to teach,- and to encourage people to read and to study the Bible on their own.
