The Problem of Plenty, and the Problem of None

If you are like me and many English speaking Christians, every morning you receive several daily devotionals. Some come as emails, others as notifications from your apps. And those are just the devotionals. If you want to find a Bible study in any topic you can choose from countless apps that give you access to thousands of studies written by the churches you know, the pastors you love, or the ministries you follow. And if you want to deepen your faith you can find literally tens of thousands of books online that will help you do just that. The difficulty we English speaking Christians face when we want to grow closer to Christ is that we have such an extreme abundance of resources that it is quite a task to choose from them. Now imagine that ALL of those resources were – let’s say – in French … NOT in English. If you wanted to hear or read about Christ, all you had was materials in French. … Even if you took some French in high school or college, how much more difficult it would be to discover Jesus, to grow closer to Him, to feed your soul? … THIS IS EXCTLY what people in most European countries face.
