The 2026 Bible Surge: Why Millions are Returning to the Word

  For the first time in nearly a decade, the "Good Book" is seeing a massive, unexpected comeback. After years of steady decline in religious engagement, recent data from the State of the Bible 2026 reports reveals a stunning reversal: over 11 million more Americans are reading the Bible this year compared to just two years ago. But this isn't your grandparents' revival. This surge is being driven by the very groups many thought had walked away from faith for good. The Numbers: A Surprising Demographic Shift The most shocking aspect of the 2026 Bible Surge is who is doing the reading. According to the American Bible Society, the largest increases aren't coming from the "Bible Belt," but from the most secular regions of the U.S.—the Northeast and the West. Young Men leading the charge: Bible use among men has spiked by 21% in the last year. Millennials & Gen Z: Millennials saw a 30% surge in engagement, while Gen Z is increasingly using Scriptu...

True happiness is not achieved by getting what you want

 

I have just seen this and I can relate to him.   I hated my father for the abandoning my mother at the time when she was dying and needed him most.  He abandoned my siblings to follow his newly found desire for a woman younger than me.  For years, I loathed him and I almost destroyed my own life and the people that mattered to me because of that hatred.

But then God found me and I learned to forgive my father.  We now talk to each other after years of silence.

But other people like this guy here had it worse than I did and God also found him and healed him.

The Good News

  T he only good news that we ought to know and remember is that Jesus Christ had already won the war against sin and death.  He has made it possible for us to join Him in the afterlife.  All we need now to do is accept Him as He is.  God is alive today and it may be sometimes be difficult to see this.  The world and its demonic nature has still made it look like that only worldly things matter and that the ultimate goal of each one is to achieve their own personal happiness.  This is the biggest lie of all, that we should do all to make us happy. Individual happiness at the expense of someone else is the biggest deception of all. The truth is, our lives are never really about us.  It is ultimately about God and about others.  It is about how you can provide and give joy even at our own expense. This is the model of ultimate and genuine love that Jesus shown us at the cross. "Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s frie...

The deadly sin of sloth

  In the labyrinthine corridors of the human spirit, there dwells a sinister phantom known as sloth, a spectral wraith that cloaks the soul in the shroud of indolence and inertia. Like a shadow that creeps across the sepulcher of the mind, sloth casts its pall over the aspirations and endeavors of mortals, rendering them prisoners of their own lethargy and torpor. In the bleak landscape of human existence, sloth emerges as a specter of desolation, a ghastly apparition that haunts the recesses of the heart with its icy grip. In the annals of biblical lore, sloth is depicted as a yawning abyss that swallows the soul whole, leaving behind naught but the hollow echo of wasted potential and unfulfilled promise. In the book of Ecclesiastes, King Solomon muses, " The lazy man says, 'There is a lion outside! I shall be slain in the streets!'" (Ecclesiastes 22:13) . In this bleak pronouncement, Solomon unveils the self-imposed prison of sloth, wherein the slothful soul cowers ...
