Question 1 of 4

📖 Bible Knowledge

Billy Graham preached to more people than any person in history. How many people heard him preach in person across his lifetime?

This is a trivia question -- there is a right answer.

✅ Correct!

Billy Graham preached in person to more than 215 million people across 185 countries over six decades of ministry. He counseled twelve United States presidents and appeared on Gallup's most admired list 61 times -- more than any other person in history. And at the end of all of it, his final warning was not about doctrine or attendance. It was about the gap between knowing facts about God and actually knowing Him.

❌ The Answer Is Over 215 Million.

Question 2 of 4

📖 Bible Knowledge

The Bible was not written in a vacuum. Each book was written by a specific person, at a specific time, for a specific reason. Which of the following is true about the Book of Revelation?

Think about who wrote it and the circumstances they were in.

✅ Exactly Right.

John wrote Revelation while exiled on the island of Patmos, a Roman prison colony. Christians were being actively persecuted and killed. The symbolism was not meant to confuse future readers -- it was coded language designed to hide the message from Roman authorities while delivering hope to people who desperately needed it. That context changes everything about how you read it.

❌ The Answer: Written in Exile, in Code.

You Are Not Alone in This Gap.

I have been teaching Scripture for 18 years. And one Wednesday night I asked my Bible study group something simple: do you actually understand what you are reading?

These were faithful people. Worn Bibles. Highlighted pages. Notes in every margin. People who had been sitting in church for decades.

"One man said quietly, 'I can quote Scripture. I know the stories. But if you asked me why any of it was written -- who wrote it, what was happening in the world, what God was actually saying -- I would not know where to begin.' That was the moment I realized I had been failing them."

Billy Graham called it the greatest deception in the church. Knowing facts about God is not the same as knowing God. And you cannot know God through His Word if you do not understand what His Word actually means.

Let us find out where you are.
