the ones who don't read the bible are lost. many who do read the bible don't believe much of it. others have varying degrees of faith. the vast majority are vigorously sifted by the adversary - the devil. so they get distracted till the next stress befalls them. you don't see them traveling 7 hours in freezing cold to attend a 5 hour bible study. comfy christianity is a popular thing. but not found in scripture. heal the sick, cast out demons, raise the dead, preach the gospel - this is what disciples do. we are called to be disciples and to disciple one another. Im starting to see more disciples tho, it seems the worse things get, the more people get serious and find the narrow way and become disciples. maranatha.
