Completely Free: We do used ads or fees.
Our Principles
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 to fit a viewpoint.
Scripture's should be allowed to create their own influences
It is our purpose to offer simple, and deeply spiritual, easy to read guides to New Testament Scriptures. Not scholastically oriented with footnotes from hundreds of authors.
We do not use AI machines for analysis of Scripture. Instead we use human hearts with prayer.
All scripture quotations from within the text are New International Version (NIV), unless otherwise noted. We respect the NIV but know that it sometimes falls short of transmitting an accurate text. This is why we use both the NIV and the New King James Version.
Our Commitment
This is a free-flowing commentary, one that is not controlled by any outside pressures of employment or the approval of religious authorities. We have a single commitment to be faithful to what the text is teaching, to the best of our ability.
Often, we gain a new and better understanding of a section of Scriptures as time passes. It is important to us to spend time in prayer with every passage. As clear as our purposes are, we know that we are all influenced by our upbringings, our education, and the friendships we have in life.
It is our purpose to be very thorough rather then brief in discovery of the deeper meanings of each verse.
Not for Profit
“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 do not use our platform to raise money.
Paul told the church, “For what we preach is not ourselves” (2 Cor 4:5). We do not believe that Scriptures where everything centers around the speaker-director. We have attended many services where the speaker dwells more on themselves than on Scriptures.
Our Independence
We have made every effort to consider Scriptures on their own, rather then being influenced by church creeds or doctrines, which demand loyalty to their own narratives.
We are not sponsored by any religious or secular society. Neither is it our desire to speak against any church or denomination. Negative views are seldom given in love, are often not truthful and fair. All we wish is to honor the Scriptures, the best we can, the clearest way we can, a task at which that we often fail it. Are we not told that the "Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus" (2 Tim 3:15)?
We do not--and never will--claim to be the final word on any passage we may discuss. There is always room for more understanding and wisdom that the Spirit gives to readers like you.
An Ongoing Work
This is an ongoing work. We frequently add additions or subtractions to a passage, as newer understandings appear. There are flaws in our grammar, spelling, and sentence structures, which we freely admit.
We are never fully satisfied with what we have written, there is always further insight to be learned. The Word is a living plant, which must be rooted not just in the page, but also in our hearts. Thus, we wish all to have absolute loyalty to the context and instruction of the Word. Any change to the text to please a preconceived idea is dangerous.
There will always be a need for more understanding and wisdom to discern the lessons written by the by the Sprit of God. Unlike any other book, the Word is alive. It is living.
