You'll notice that the relationships that you have with people, you talk about things that you have in common together.

That's what populates your conversations.

This hit me when I was in the grocery store with my kids when they were very little.

My wife was home all day with them all through the week.

And so what I would do on Mondays, my day off, is when they were really little, I would take them to the grocery store and we would putter around the grocery store for three hours just to give her a break.

Three-hour grocery shopping trip.

And as we would go up and down the aisles, it hit me one week that what they were talking about with me when they were three and four and five years old was what we had done in family worship the night before.

They wanted to talk about those Bible passages.

Now why?

It was because that was our common knowledge.

That's what we had shared together the night before.

And so it began to inform our conversations together as we're going up and down the cereal aisle and the bread aisle.

We're talking about what we had learned in Scripture the night before together.

It just gives a common knowledge.

It takes your discourse to a different level.

It takes your ability to know one another to a higher level.

It also equips our children for corporate worship.

Their lives are now marked by worship.

This isn't just something that they do on Sunday as a one-off.

This is something that they're doing day in and day out.
