How Does the Bible Define Righteousness?

During a time when surfer lingo was popular (think about the turtle in the movie Finding Nemo), the word righteous was often used to indicate approval or something good. For example, if someone…

Faith Is Released Through Words

01/03/2017 01/03/2017 Daily Wisdom

MATTHEW 17:20 NKJ 20 So Jesus said to them, "Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, `Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you. If you have faith -- you will do something -- according to Jesus. You will speak! Faith and authority are exercised through words. You must open your mouth and speak in line with what God says.

Curiosity Is an Act of Worship

28/02/2017 09/07/2018 Women

Curiosity Is an Act of Worship And one thing I know about curiosity: it’s democratic. Anyone, anywhere, of any age or education level, can use it.—Brian Grazer I love concepts and ideas. They energize me. But at some point ideas must be broken down into workable pieces, bits that people can do something with; otherwise they aren’t worth much. You just read ten chapters of ideas. Yes, there were examples and a few stories scattered throughout but not much in the way of instruction. So this is m..

Follow @BrandonSmith85 Photo courtesy: Neuestock When I began working with the Christian Standard Bible, my first priority was to dig into the history of the translation. I wanted to know who was involved, how it was developed, how it was marketed over the years, and how many Bibles were out in the wild. In order to understand fully the good and the bad about the project ahead of me, I had to take a thorough inventory of where it came from. I could’ve done my job without this investigation—but n..

In Everything Give Thanks

28/02/2017 28/02/2017 Daily Wisdom

1 THESSALONIANS 5:18 NKJ 18 in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. Are you giving thanks to God today? You should. If you want to be happy, you must. For, without being thankful, you will never be happy. Just because things are not going the way you would like is no excuse. The Bible clearly says that God's will for you is to be thankful -- always. The Bible does NOT teach that we're to thank God for evil, because God is not responsible for e..

When the Book of Revelation Takes a Swing at a Roman Emperor

27/02/2017 28/02/2017 Church & Theology

Follow @BrandonSmith85 Photo courtesy: Craig Koester via the Classical Numismatic Group. While compiling notes for my dissertation and forthcoming book on the Book of Revelation, I came across this note on Revelation 1:16 in Craig Koester’s Revelation commentary: The section climaxes by noting that [Jesus] holds seven stars in his right hand (Rev 1:16). This cosmic imagery conveys sovereignty. An analogy appears on a coin from Domitian’s reign that depicts the emperor’s deceased son as young Jup..

Don’t Worry

27/02/2017 27/02/2017 Daily Wisdom

1 PETER 5:7 NLT 7 Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about what happens to you. Probably the biggest temptation most believers face is the temptation to worry. What is worry? Worry is thinking that leaves God out. Worry is the opposite of faith. Instead of expecting God's help -- you expect the worst. 1 PETER 5:7 CEV 7 God cares for you, so turn all your worries over to him. The Bible has much to say about not worrying. Worry is not appropriate for a child of God. MAT..
