What is the consequence of having so little biblical knowledge?
With so little biblical knowledge, professing Christians can enter the workaday world and embrace secular humanism without even knowing what they are doing. They fit right in with it because they are ignorant of this Book. This same lack leaves young people without a sense of right and wrong, since this Book is where that comes from.
Les teaches that the average professing Christian is in reality a practicing secular humanist. Though they claim to be believers and Christians, in the workaday world they fit right in with secular humanism because they are so ignorant of this Book. He clarifies that ignorant does not mean short on brainpower; most church members are simply totally ignorant of the Book and know only a little scratched off the surface. Consequently, with so little biblical knowledge, they can embrace secular humanism and not even know what they are doing. Les also connects this to young people having no sense of right and wrong because they do not know what this Book says, since that is where it all comes from. He wants people to wake up and realize there is so much in this Book to learn, helping us as a nation in day-to-day living, experience, and good citizenship.
