Minister’s Corner - 234 Is Bible Class Important?

November 08, 2026

Loved ones, does attending Bible class regularly make any difference in the quality of one’s life? With all the pressures that children and young people face today, regular attendance to Bible class helps to mold their character and fortify them against evil.

Consider this… In a five-year period, Judge Fossett in Brooklyn sentenced 2,400 juveniles to the reformatory. His investigation showed that not one of them was a member of a Bible class anywhere.

In a two-year period, Lee Baxton presided over 2,400 juvenile cases. He had a standing offer to pay court costs for any person convicted of a criminal offense if that young person had been regular in attendance for Bible class during that year. He never had to pay anyone’s fine.

Attending Bible class is not a cure-all, but young people who are regularly found there are seldom found in court. Our young people need all the help we can give them. Plan to be in Bible class this Sunday. You have an example to set. God is so good. Love you. Samuel – 8 November 2026
