The problem with that is we inherently know from the language that we can just as easily become disconnected.

There was a lot here that I liked. This part about the shift in language/culture especially stood out to me though. It is really true, and I think the separation of time between when the Bible was written and today is making it more difficult for people to "connect".

One program you may want to look into is Dave Ramsey's "Financial Peace University". (I have no affiliation to this, I am just suggesting it because I think it is a good idea :).) Their program is taught in thousands of churches each year, and helps teach people about money using principles found in the Bible. The people that go through it generally find it very helpful, and it is a great way to connect people to the word of God through something we all deal with a lot - money. =)
