God’s Word: Who’s on fire about it - and who’s not?
he results are in. After surveying
and analyzing the 96 most populous cities in America, The Barna Group
unleashed which ones are the most Bible-minded and the ones that
have the least regard for things biblical.
The trend? As might be expected, cities in the South typically tended to be hotter for the Bible, while the New England region tended to be the coldest.

True Love Waits returns to where it began 20 years ago
Posted on Feb 7, 2013 | by Sharayah Colter
NASHVILLE (BP) -- True Love Waits morphed from a nameless concept in coffee break conversations into a movement that, beginning in February 1993, steadily spread to teenagers across the country.
That month, 53 youth at Tulip Grove Baptist Church committed themselves to sexual abstinence before marriage.
In the 20 years since, millions of teenagers have followed suit, bringing abstinence to the national conversation and strengthening innumerable marriages before they ever began.
The grassroots movement calling teenagers to make commitments of purity celebrated its local-church anniversary with a True Love Waits-themed Disciple Now weekend Feb. 1-3 at the Nashville-area church where the first group of Tulip Grove students made a True Love Waits pledge.
