We do not teach Baptist doctrine, or Methodist, or Presbyterian, or Pentecostal, or any other name of a school. We do not teach against those names as a sport. We simply refuse to set them beside the text as if they were the text.
The rule is older than any of those names.
You shall not add to the word which I am commanding you, nor take away from it.
Deuteronomy 4:2
Every word of God is pure; He is a shield to those who take refuge in Him. Do not add to His words Or He will rebuke you, and you will be proved a liar.
Proverbs 30:5–6
All Scripture is inspired by God and beneficial for teaching, for rebuke, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man or woman of God may be fully capable, equipped for every good work.
2 Timothy 3:16–17
If the Scriptures fully equip, this ministry will not pretend to furnish what they already have.
The word is not given to be admired and left on the table.
But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not just hearers who deceive themselves.
James 1:22
the one who says that he remains in Him ought, himself also, to walk just as He walked.
1 John 2:6
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.
Romans 12:2
Change is not a program we add to the book. It is what the book already commands: put off the old man, put on the new, and walk.
What you will find here
Articles that stay with a passage until the passage has spoken. Videos that are the chapter read aloud. Lessons you can obtain and download — sittings, questions, the text itself — for use at your table, and then on the road.
What you will not find here
A statement of faith that goes beyond the verses it cites. A party line. A teacher you are asked to trust instead of the page.
Now these people were more noble-minded than those in Thessalonica, for they received the word with great eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so.
Acts 17:11
Be a Berean. If something published here cannot be found in the book, set it down.
