Quizzes can help us to correct this mistake of ours. Hence, though we have the attitude of reading, we do not become knowledgable enough because we lose sight of the salient points, the main idea, and the important parts of the content. Or, sometimes, we do our reading so fast that we by-pass a lot of important points or we lose sight of the main idea that the writer wants to put across. And all of the apostles were guilty of not believing the reports of Jesus raising from the dead, not just Thomas (Mark 16:14).Oftentimes, we are careless in our reading that is, in the course of reading, we fail to take notice of the salient points of the content.

Did anyone get them all correct? It’s more than likely they’ve simply made the same mistakes you’ve made with regard to Bible study and need a kind and gentle friend to help guide them. Don’t conclude they don’t love the truth as much as you do. Look it up for yourself), but we struggle with the same weaknesses in Bible study that they do. Their mistakes may be more consequential than not knowing who Samson’s wife was (who by the way, wasn’t Delilah. What I want this short quiz to do is to motivate us to be better students of the Bible and have a more patient and understanding attitude toward our religious neighbors who are in error. failure to read carefully, accepting tradition, trusting that what we’ve been told is the truth without doing our own research, etc.).

But here’s what I want us to think about, and why I offered this little quiz. Someone might say, “So what? What difference does it make? It’s not like life and death or Heaven and Hell hing on these questions.” And of course, that’s true, they don’t.

While these questions come from fairly well-known stories, probably most of you missed several of the answers. So, take a moment and read the last paragraph, then come back up and we’ll pick up here. I’m putting them there so that you wouldn’t inadvertently see the answers in this paragraph as you read the questions above. Okay, so you finished the quiz?

Who was taken up into heaven in a chariot of fire?Ĥ. See how well you do, then stick around for the application.ģ. These five questions are on fairly familiar Bible stories, so they shouldn’t be too hard to answer. So since we seem to like quizzes, I thought I’d give a little “pop quiz” of my own. Just take a look at Facebook every day there’s a new quiz that people are taking, ranging from how well you remember cartoons from the 70’s to which Disney character you are most like.
