Numbers 21:4-5 shows a moment when God’s people got tired of the road and turned that weariness into accusations against the Lord. Out of that scene God gave the bronze serpent, one of the clearest Old Testament pictures of how He saves sinners by grace through...
Jesus looked at ordinary disciples and told them what they were in the world, not what they might become if they tried harder. In Matthew 5:13 He called them the salt of the earth, and He warned them that salt can become useless. If we listen to what He said and...
Sackcloth and ashes show up all through the Bible as a public way to express grief, humility, and repentance before God. A lot of believers have heard the phrase, but they are not always sure what it meant in Bible times, why people used it, and what parts of that...

The word Trinity is not found in the Bible, but the truth it summarizes is. Scripture is clear that there is only one true God, and Scripture is also clear that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are each spoken of as God and relate to each other as real...
