It's like one of my earliest memories is my dad leading me in the sinner's prayer.
So there's a gospel connection.
But my one of my other earliest memories, when I think of what's one of the first things I can remember, when my dad was overdosed on, I think, heroin.
I remember waking up and already just waking up into a sense of panic and seeing my dad discolored in the face and my mom over him and praying.
And so, there's the juxtaposition, like, of my life, it's like my dad led me in the sinner's prayer, but then I also saw this.
Most Christians that I meet they're not reading their Bibles because they're not interested in it or in Jesus, it's frustrating, it's confusing.
We often get lost.
I myself have felt that for many years.
The Bible, according to Jesus, was written to help people understand the point of the Bible, which we're not hiding.
It's about Jesus, how to understand the Old Testament law and the covenants and the promises and the prophecies, hopefully this is helpful for you and will encourage you to read your Bible more.

We were just talking about spiritual warfare.
