How Should We Interpret the Epistles?
Epistles are letters written for specific purposes. It is essential to determine who wrote the letter, who received it, and why it was sent.
Bible
Scriptural Standard
As we live our lives, love our homes, and lead our churches, there are many ways in which we can determine our direction. There are plenty of opinions out there, but is God’s Word reliable enough to transcend those fleeting thoughts?
Putting on Your Spiritual Oxygen Mask First
No amount of compassion will make you invincible to the needs of your own soul. Your unwillingness to care for yourself will actually deprive you the opportunity to minister to more in the long run.
You Know More of the Bible Than You Think You Do
Most Christians feel as if they don’t know the Bible as they should. I know you could know more, but I guarantee what you do know could be life-giving to someone else.
How to Read the Entire Bible
Jesus taught the necessity of obedience to His words, but we cannot apply them if we don’t first study them. Create a plan where you can work through studying the entire Bible.
How to Survive Life’s Storms
All of us go through storms, but only some of us make it out of them. As Jesus concluded the Sermon on the Mount, he taught his listeners how to build the types of lives that can withstand life’s storms.
Studying the Bible Isn’t Enough
You can listen to the greatest sermons, hear the greatest teachers, read the greatest books, and subscribe to all the greatest posts, but you aren’t actually destined to grow in Christ. Studying the Bible isn’t enough. It’s time to go the second mile in working toward biblical application over information.
Distinctly Guided
To follow Jesus, you must know what direction He is taking. We are truly guided by God when we study the truth of God’s Word.
Why Small Groups Need the Bible
We live in a time when the world is biblically illiterate. Why has this happened? It might be because the church has diminished its confidence in the knowledge and application of God’s Word. We need more than spiritual intentions, we need biblical truth. It’s time to go the second mile with your small group.
Succumbing to Subjective Truth
If you grow up going to church, you know that the most typical Bible study scenario is one where the teacher reads a verse and then asks the group, “What does that mean to you?” More than what it means to you, we need to know what it means to God. It’s time to go the second mile in discerning subjective truth.
