Only about 5% of Christian school students read their Bibles regularly on their own. What can schools do to encourage this behavior. Studies have shown that authority figures trying to build habits in others is rarely successful. Instead we should entice students with the potential to know God better. That’s what they get out of reading the bible more. We can encourage it, model it, reward it. But it will be the student’s desire to deepen their relationship with their Creator and Savior that will really cause this discipline to stick.
