Scripture taken seriously: the context, the original words, and what it asks of us. Some weeks that’s a single passage; some weeks it’s several verses woven into one study. A new one lands every week or so, and some weeks “or so” does a lot of heavy lifting. Join the list and each one comes to you the day it’s ready. No calendar math required.
Everyone wants to be happy, and the world digs cistern after cistern to find it. A study of six broken cisterns, the Bible's word for the happy man, and why the Puritans and Reformers insisted that holiness is not the price of joy but the road into it.
The basic tools for reading the Bible well, for anyone just starting out: what hermeneutics is, three questions to ask of any passage, reading in context, knowing what kind of writing you are reading, the world behind the text, letting Scripture explain Scripture, five common mistakes, and a simple method you can use every time.
Eleven popular sayings about fear, anger, anxiety, the past, and control, each set beside what God's Word actually says. A study on why our feelings are real but never the final authority, and why the One who keeps us is better than the faith we hold.
Ten signs you are still holding on, and the God who can be trusted with everything you release. A short study on what surrender actually is, what it is not, and why letting go is the safest thing a Christian ever does.
Peter asked how many times he had to forgive. Jesus answered with a number too big to track, a story about two ledgers, and a word that means release. This study opens the Greek behind forgiveness and shows why the forgiven are the only people who can forgive.
Three commands of Scripture (repent, take every thought captive, be transformed by the renewing of your mind) turn out to be one campaign. The battlefield is your mind, and the Greek behind each verse shows you how the fight is actually won.
Jesus interrupts Passion Week to teach on prayer: all of heaven's resources are at the disposal of the believer who prays. Five necessities: remember, trust, believe, ask, forgive.
