America needs the Bible more than ever. Thankfully, at the Museum of the Bible last week, they had various leaders read through the whole book. Even the president participated.

Two months before it happened, I wrote about it, calling it “An Ambitious Bible Reading Plan.”

AmericaReadsTheBible.com explains their vision: “In honor of the 250th birthday of the United States, America Reads the Bible serves as a spiritual celebration of our nation’s founding ideals and a call to rediscover the truth that still anchors us today.”

Just as in the Bible days, when the Scriptures were read, revival would often break out, the organizers of America Reads the Bible desire the same outcome. Bunni Pounds, head of Christians Engaged, is the chief organizer of this unique event, which was carried by livestream through PureFlix.com.

Many faith leaders read from the Scriptures. As noted, even the president participated with a few short verses. As the Bible-reading website noted: “As part of America Reads the Bible, President Trump read 2 Chronicles 7:11–22—a powerful call for a nation to humble itself, pray, and return to God.”

The United States of America has greatly benefited from the Holy Bible. When Ronald Reagan was president, the federal government declared 1983 as “The Year of the Bible.”

On the eve of that year-long celebration,........
