One of the convictions I have developed as a disciple is that the Word of God is a “reality book”. It’s not just a book of laws, rules and commands; it’s a book of realities and truths. Even though I have grown up reading and hearing the Bible my entire life, it wasn’t until my late teens that I could understand and appreciate this truth.

Growing up, we always read the Bible and prayed as a family. Almost every morning we would have breakfast together and read the Bible. Not only did my parents read me the Bible, but they also taught me how to understand the Bible as the Word of God and how to have a relationship with Him. This was not a mindless chore, but a whole-hearted devotion to our Creator and Lord. Without this foundation I wouldn’t have been able to begin my own search to understand and know God.
