A Defining Moment
"The Bible came alive for me over the course of a few months when I was in my early twenties. I had always known the importance of God’s word, and had a desire to study it in more than a casual way at some point in my life. But that would come later, I thought, after I was established in a career. Then we had a class at church. We called it “lay seminary” and for that semester it was John Sailhamer teaching through the Pentateuch. That class, along with some digging into the books of Moses on my own, turned out to be part of an important turning point in my life. I fell in love with God’s word in a way I hadn’t before, and saw with fresh eyes the way the whole Bible testifies to Christ."
