And maybe that\u2019s why less than two of every ten Christians are engaging with the word of God on a daily basis.<\/p>\n<p>But have you ever noticed that the Bible is made up of chunks of about 25 words? What we call verses. It\u2019s interesting how that\u2019s about the number of words we use on Twitter, in an SMS or a Facebook update.<\/p>\n<p>And that\u2019s the whole idea behind our 2012 campaign: Live Light in 25 words. We\u2019re encouraging Christians to start a Bible reading habit starting with 25 words. We will make the Bible available in all kinds of formats to get them started. It\u2019s our prayer that by starting with this regular reading of a verse or two, people will form a habit of reading God\u2019s Word; a habit that will lighten their hearts and transform their lives.
