Tyler TX — A new research study by LifeWay says that only 19 percent of Christians read the Bible daily, outside of worship service.
So the question is, do you have to read the Bible to be a "good Christian?"
One local East Texas pastor tell's KETK that you don't have to read the bible to be a good Christian, it's more important to live the word of God through your daily life actions because actions speak volumes over words.
Senior Associate Pastor, Ken Warren, from Green Acres Baptist Church in Tyler tells KETK that, "knowledge without action is useless."
He says, reading the Bible frequently is something he preaches, but reading it daily is not necessary, he says, " that's my opinion, I know some people's opinions may be different than mine."
He said the importance of discipleship and "Bible Engagement" is necessary to learn the word of God so that you can apply it to your daily life, but as for how frequently one reads the Bible or not is something that shouldn't matter, in his opinion.
Please leave your comments blow and let us know what you think, Do you read the Bible everyday? and if you don't do you think you are a "bad Christian" for not doing so?

You tell me. Do you have to read your college books to be a good professional? I don't know how you are going to know where you are going if you don't read the Instruction Book. The Bible is a Mirror to show us who we are. "It is not in man that walketh to direct his own steps," God said that. I could give you Book, Chapter and Verse but I won't. Look it up. It's there. I study His Word each day to be wise.
Christians are good, so what does frequency have to do with it?

If you don't read the instruction book - how you you conform to its teachings? DUH!
Revelation 1:3 Happy is he who reads aloud the words of this prophecy and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and who observe the thing written in it..
Acts 17:11 Now the latter were more noble minded than those in Thessalonica, for they received the word with the greatest eagerness of mind CAREFULLY EXAMINING THE SCRIPTURES DAILY.
Do you want to listen to a preacher who says you don't have to read the Bible? Is he a Christian? "Read the Bible daily!" Learn how to practice Christianity!
