Hank Hanegraaff, the host of the ๐˜‰๐˜ช๐˜ฃ๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ˆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ด๐˜ธ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ ๐˜”๐˜ข๐˜ฏ broadcast and the ๐˜๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ฌ ๐˜œ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฑ๐˜ญ๐˜ถ๐˜จ๐˜จ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฅ podcast, reflects on the virtue and spiritual discipline of reading. Tragically, many have given up on this wonderful discipline, or perhaps have never engaged it in the first place. Reading provides one with new heights of perspective and new depths of understanding. Some of the greatest breakthroughs in insight and understanding that Hank has experienced in his life have come as a direct result of reading. Sir Isaac Newton, a prodigious intellect who developed calculus, discovered the law of gravity, and designed the first reflecting telescope, would never have done so without a great deal of reading and reflection on the cumulative knowledge of others before him. What fed his genius was immersion in a sea of revelation. And, of course, the greatest of revelations is Scripture. Newton read Scripture, and we must as well.
