Book of 1 Thessalonians Summary: Hope, Endurance, and the Return of Christ. 1 Thessalonians is widely considered Paul’s earliest surviving letter, written to encourage a young church under persecution and to correct misunderstandings about Christ’s return. Though brief, it is deeply pastoral, revealing Paul’s heart for the fledgling Thessalonian believers.

Honoring Your Parents: Biblical Command, Limits, and Christ-Centered Application. The command to honor one’s parents is one of the most well-known in Scripture. It is often quoted as an absolute — “Honor your father and mother” — yet for many, the reality of parental relationships is not simple. What does this command mean for Christians today, especially for those who have faced manipulation, neglect, or abuse from their parents?

Book of Colossians Summary: Christ Over All. Colossians is Paul’s exalted vision of Christ as supreme over creation, the church, and every spiritual power. Written to a community Paul had not personally founded, the letter is both pastoral and theological, addressing false teachings that threatened to diminish Christ’s sufficiency.

The Trinity: The God Who Is Three-in-One. The doctrine of the Trinity stands as one of the central mysteries of the Christian faith. It is not a philosophical abstraction but the reality of God as revealed in Scripture: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — three distinct persons, yet one God. The term Trinity (trias in Greek, trinitas in Latin) does not appear in the Bible, but the reality saturates both Old and New Testaments.

The Carmen Christi: Christ’s Humility and Exaltation in Philippians 2. Few passages in Scripture rise to the poetic and theological height of Philippians 2:6–11. Known as the Carmen Christi (“Hymn to Christ”), this section is widely recognized as one of the earliest Christian confessions of faith, possibly a hymn sung in the earliest churches. Paul incorporates it into his letter not merely as doctrine, but as the ultimate example of humility for believers to imitate.

Book of Philippians Summary: Joy in Christ Amid Chains. The letter to the Philippians is often called Paul’s “letter of joy,” but that joy is no shallow optimism. It was written from prison, under chains, with the real possibility of death ahead. Despite those circumstances, Paul presents one of the most uplifting and Christ-centered writings in the New Testament. Philippians reveals what true Christian joy looks like: not rooted in circumstances, but in Christ Himself.

Book of Ephesians Summary: The Church in Christ. Ephesians is Paul’s grand vision of the church — not as an institution, but as the body of Christ, chosen before creation, redeemed by His blood, and empowered by the Spirit. Where Galatians thunders against false gospels, Ephesians soars in worshipful praise and cosmic perspective. It lifts believers’ eyes to God’s eternal plan in Christ, then brings that vision down into practical instructions for daily life.

Book of 1 Corinthians Summary: The Gospel in a Divided Church. 1 Corinthians is a letter from Paul to the church in Corinth, a wealthy, diverse, and notoriously immoral port city. The church reflected its culture: divided, proud, morally compromised, and confused about spiritual gifts, worship, and resurrection. Paul’s letter confronts sin, corrects errors, and calls the church to unity under Christ.

Satan: The Accuser and Adversary. Satan is not a metaphor, a mythological leftover, or a dramatic flourish added to Scripture for narrative effect. He is a real, personal being — intelligent, strategic, malicious, and ancient. From the earliest pages of Genesis to the closing scenes of Revelation, Satan appears not as a cartoonish villain or impersonal force, but as a deeply active enemy of God’s purposes and God’s people.

Sabbath: The Forgotten Commandment. Among the Ten Commandments, the Sabbath is the only one many modern Christians feel comfortable ignoring—and often bragging about it. While no one openly boasts about lying or committing adultery, many dismiss Sabbath rest as unnecessary or even legalistic. But before we go tossing this command into the bin of obsolescence, we must look at what Scripture actually says—and doesn’t say.

Are Christians Under The Law of Moses? The Mosaic Law stands as one of the most hotly debated subjects in Christian theology. For some, the Law is the gold standard for obedience—even binding for believers today. For others, it is irrelevant, even harmful, a relic of an obsolete covenant.

King James Bible - A Superior Translation? KJV-Onlyism is the belief that the King James Version (1611) is not only a valid translation of the Bible, but the only divinely authorized, inspired, and preserved Word of God in English. For some, it is viewed as perfect, unchangeable, and superior even to the original Hebrew and Greek.
