ALL Scripture is God-breathed...so you should study Torah!

Continuing in our study of the Book of Revelation 📖 Here’s principle #6: see earth from Heaven’s perspective. In chapters 4 & 5, John is taken up into heaven—and everything changes. The chaos of earth fades, and what he sees instead is a throne, worship, and the Lamb who is worthy. This shift matters. Revelation reminds us that even when life feels uncertain here, heaven is not shaken. God is still on the throne. Jesus is still worthy. And history is still in His hands. Sometimes what we need most isn’t a change in our situation… it’s a change in our perspective. What stands out to you from chapters 4 & 5? ⬇️ #BookOfRevelation #BibleStudy #FaithOverFear #JesusIsKing

Good news! There is an audiobook edition of Braving the Truth: Essential Essays for Reckoning With and Reimagining Faith by Rachel Held Evans. Narrated by the wonderful Marni Penning, with special appearances by Sarah Bessey and Daniel Jonce Evans, it's available everywhere you love to listen.

Hebrews Chapter 2. As always, let’s preface this experience by reminding the internet that I am not a Bible scholar. Take the meat and spit out the bones. I’m learning alongside you. 💡 Please share your thoughts and interpretations in the comments - this is meant to be interactive! The chapter begins with a warning. “We must listen very carefully to the truth we have heard, or we may drift away from it. For the message of God delivered through angels has always stood firm, and every act of disobedience was punished. So what makes us think we can escape?” Ooof. 💀😬 For a time, Jesus was given a position lower than the angels (as a human), and because he suffered death for us, he is now “crowned with glory and honor.” God made Jesus a perfect leader through his suffering and only he is fit to bring many children into their salvation. He is not ashamed to call us brothers and sisters. For he said to God, “I will proclaim your name to my brothers and sisters. I will praise you among your assembled people.” The chapter concludes by explaining to us that Jesus had to become fully human - fully flesh and blood - to be able to break the power of death, as only this sacrifice would take away the sins of people. Since Jesus himself has gone through suffering and testing, he is able to help us when we are being tested. Major takeaways for me today: 💡 Listen carefully or drift away. 💡 What makes us think we can escape punishment? 💡 Jesus knows what it is to suffer. 💡 God loves humans for some reason...😅 I still haven’t quite figured out why, but I’ll keep reading and maybe I’ll find out. See you tomorrow for chapter 3!

What I'm reading right now - "Unlocking Heaven’s Truth" by @officialheatherz Interesting how near-death experiences don’t push people away from God… they draw them closer. 🤍 #hearhymnbooks

Have you ever felt like reading the Bible is like looking at a foreign landscape without a map? So often, we approach ancient scripture through a modern, Western lens, missing the rich cultural context that brings the text to life. Shifting the perspective to a Hebraic worldview changes everything. By stepping into the ancient Near Eastern culture, language, and original setting where these stories were born, confusing passages suddenly click into place. It’s not just about reading words on a page—it’s about understanding the environment that shaped them. For anyone seeking to move past surface-level reading and dive into the deeper truth and power of the Scriptures, this approach is a total game-changer. Discovering how to anchor faith in its original historical and cultural context can turn daily study into a transformative experience. #BiblicalStudy #HebraicWorldview #ScriptureTruth #FaithJourney #BibleStudyTips

Is It Too Late for a Miracle in Iran? One day can change everything! Pay attention to the important parallels between modern-day global tensions and the biblical story of Haman from the book of Esther. Just as God orchestrated a sudden turn for His people through the prayers and fasting of Esther and Mordecai, He is still in the business of divine intervention today. #DivineIntervention #ElliottWarren #BookOfEsther #FaithOverFear #BiblicalProphecy #HopeInHardTimes #ModernConflict #SpiritualWarfare #Miracles #PrayerAndFasting #ChristianMotivation #crossculturechurch #israel #israelpalestineconflict #israeliranwar #middleeast #globalpoliticse

Beware of lust. In the desert, complaining led to quails and plague, then burial at Kibroth-Hattaavah. A harsh lesson before reaching Hazeroth. #BiblicalStory #OldTestament #Yahweh #DivineJudgment #FaithJourney #SpiritualLessons #KibrothHattaavah #Hazeroth

A scarlet 'tikvah' in the window—a rope and hope, not to be cut off. The Lord is our 'tikvah', offering rich encouragement through Hebrew words. #HebrewWords #FaithJourney #SpiritualGrowth #Hope #Devotional #WordStudy #Inspiration
