How can a Christian fight spiritual battles in a world of trials and distractions? In this article, Jesse Randolph unpacks biblical meditation and why this spiritual discipline is the key to a vibrant Christian life.

Many people will put Jeremiah 29:11 somewhere in their home or on social media, or claim it as their life verse, desiring the prosperous life it seems to promise. In this article, Andrew Curry from The Master's Seminary shares with Costi Hinn what this verse actually means in context and how the believer can be encouraged to trust our faithful God.

It is likely that as a professing Christian you believe the Bible is true, and you’ve heard that you should study it, memorize it, know it, and love it. But how? In this article, Costi Hinn provides some practical tools for studying the Bible, walking through basic principles for interpretation and process for biblical study.

What is sufficient to save? To transform? To enlighten? If God has revealed himself generally in nature, where does He reveal Himself specifically? The answer the psalmist provides is profound. God reveals Himself specifically, clearly, and powerfully in the Bible.

When you think of “eisegesis” you should think of “isolation.” Because eisegesis takes a specific passage from the Bible and isolates it from its original meaning, the author’s original intention, and God’s original purpose.

When you think of “exegesis” you should think of “excavation.” Like an archeologist will dig into the ground and carefully search for clues in order to uncover truths about the past, a Christian (and especially our pastors) should dig into Scripture and carefully search for clues in order to uncover truths that change the world.

Hermeneutics is the practice and discipline of interpreting the Bible. It is incredibly important to have good (or “sound”) hermeneutics so that you can hear from God accurately through the Bible.

If you want to climb a mountain, you would not simply start walking down up a trail. No, before you scale Mount Everest, it might be a good idea to sit down and get a bird’s eye view of the mountain, see where it is steep and where it requires more attention. You may also try to look at pictures of the peak, so you know what to expect.

Bible study is hard work. Reading and understanding a 2000-year-old document is hard enough as it is. But motivating our minds to study the Bible is half the battle. It may just be the hardest part of Bible study. Despite this, if you overcome all the distractions and lack of motivation, would you open it to the Old Testament? To the Prophets? To Isaiah?

Few genres of Scripture cause more confusion in the church today than the Law. Perhaps one could reasonably argue that the book of Revelation outdoes the Law in crossing the Christian’s eyes, but beyond that, there isn’t much debate here. We’re left asking, “What is the role of the Old Testament Law in the life of the Church?” or “How in the world do we interpret passages from books like Deuteronomy or Leviticus?”
