I am so thankful that God's Word is not only a part of my life and heritage... God's Word has molded my life and heritage. That is my dad, Tige Reinhold, standing in the middle of the front row. This Bible Instruction Class was extremely important in the Reinhold family. Dad would tell of when he was young, attending services at the one room school house conducted by traveling "circuit rider" preachers. The American Sunday School Union conducted many of the services. My mother, Vicky, was also brought up in a home that read the Bible and adhered to biblical principle. I will share her story another time.

How can a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed according to Your word. With my whole heart I have sought You; Oh, let me not wander from Your commandments! Your word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You!
Psalm 119:9-11

All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, II Timothy 2:16

When I was a child, my parents gave me a Bible with the following verse written in the front cover....
Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go. Joshua 1:9

"HOW IMPORTANT IS GOD'S WORD IN YOUR HOME?"
"IS IT VITAL TO THE WELLBEING OF YOUR FAMILY?"
