Wycliffe Bible Translators have started a new campaign that seeks to encourage discussion about the Gospel. The campaign also seeks to show that even though statistics suggest that millennials and teenagers are becoming less engaged with God, the Bible still matters greatly in people’s lives.
Scott Everhart, senior director of marketing at Wycliffe Bible Translators, told The Christian Post in an interview about the new campaign, called #WhyBible. He said that there are many forces at work looking to downplay the role of God’s Word in people’s lives today, such as the distraction of technology and other social pressures.
Everhart revealed that the idea behind #WhyBible was born from a millennial member of the Wycliffe Bible Translators team, who was sitting in church one Sunday and studying the people around him. He observed that there were not many people in attendance who were his age or in similar walks of life. According to Everhart, Research confirms this observation, reflecting that an increasing number of Christians, particularly younger believers are not embracing the value of Bible teaching and its power to change lives.
The State of the Bible surveys, along with other research, have for years shown that the percentage of Americans, especially young people who view the Bible skeptically continues to rise. But despite the increasing numbers of Bible skeptics, Barna’s research found that most Americans continue to believe that the Bible has been the most influential text that has affected humanity, and that it contains everything a person needs to know in order to live a meaningful life.
The Bible remains a best seller and is the only book that tells us where we came from, what we are doing here and where we are going. It is the only book that tells us “about our role in God’s design and kingdom, and how our lives are touched with purpose and meaning…”
