Honor Scriptures 

Purpose Statement

Honor Scriptures  Always & Forever

Principal  & Foremost  Major & Primary

First & Last   Best & Finest

A Growing Library of New Testament books 

with verse-by-verse analysis--in depth.

To build faith, love and trust in God

For joy of Scriptures

For more love toward God

For Spiritual growth in the Holy Spirit

To become more Scripture centered in our thinking

All eyes on Scriptures, they have a voice that should be heard

We wish Scriptures to explain themselves

To be faithful to the text, the words and the context, is our primary and only goal.

There is no desire to make a passage fit a specific doctrine

There is no effort to force an interpretation

We have used no other references to scholarly, lay books or articles

Scripture's should be allowed to create their own influences

 It is our purpose to offer simple, deeply spiritual, easy to read guides to NT Scriptures. Not scholastically oriented with footnotes from hundreds of other authors.

All texts quoted are from the New International Version of the Bible, unless otherwise noted. The NIV is not a perfect translation, yet is it smooth to read, containing words are easily to grasp. We have noted when we disagree with the NIV or the NKJV of the Bible. 

“Unlike so many, we do not peddle the word of God for profit” (2 Cor 2:17). Instead like Paul who said, “we worked night and day in order not to be a burden to anyone, while we preached the gospel of God to you” (1 Thess 2:9). We offer no place to send to us money. 

Paul told the church, “For what we preach is not ourselves” (2 Cor 4:5). We do not believe that Scriptures should be taught as a personality driven message. That is where everything centers around the speaker-director or the teacher of the lesson. We have attended many services where the speaker dwells more on themselves, then Scriptures. This is poor preaching, attended with very little results. 

We have made every effort not to be influenced by church creeds, doctrines of the many denominations in American and European societies, that demand loyalty to their views and narratives.  We are not sponsored by any religious or secular society.

We do not, we never will, claim to be the final word to any passage we may discuss. There is always room for more understanding and wisdom that the Spirit gives to readers like you. We are never fully satisfied with what we have written, there is always further insight to be learned. The Word is a living plant, that must be rooted not just on the page, but also in our hearts. Thus, we wish to have absolute loyalty to context and instruction of the Word. Any change of the text to please a preconceived idea, is dangerous. May God help you the reader not to draw any conclusions, other then what the text teaches. Novel ideas may gain notoriety, but they are not instructive.

This is an ongoing work. Often we frequently add additions or subtractions to a passage, as newer understandings appear.

There are flaws in our grammar, spelling and sentence structures, we freely admit. Every day, it seems, we find new ways to reword a sentence. 

There will always be a need for more understanding and wisdom to discern the lessons written by the Spirit in the pages of the NT, because the Word is alive. It must be written in hearts, through the Spirit. 

We are not AI generated and never will be. We know that AI can be helpful, yet in trying to understand Scripture, we avoid it, it is the combined wisdom of men, who may not be writing with the "love of the Spirit" (Col 1:8), in their hearts. 

Any reader may borrow our work, for teaching, preaching, or sharing. Our work is not copyrighted. Yet we request that you not use our work for profit, this is not right. If you wish to reprint larger sections for anything other then private use, send your request to our email at honorscriptures@gmail.com

If you wish to disagree or send a note of observation that you find. We welcome all discussions because no one has the final word. We all have spiritual blindness and biases; thus, we need each other.

Signed: By our team that love Scriptures and wish to honor them--forever and always. For the glory of God.
