 The Bible was originally written in the ancient languages of Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek over a period of many centuries. Although sometimes referred to as "dead" languages (because they are not commonly spoken in the modern world), all three of these languages are very much alive.
Though they've changed a lot since biblical times, descendants of these languages are still actively used today in the same parts of the world the events of the Bible happened in. And of course, even the ancient words are alive with the the Holy Spirit flowing through them.
This article will give a basic explanation of the Bible's original languages — and why they matter for understanding the Bible today. |

The Bible has a lot to say on forgiveness. In fact, it's one of the most central themes in all of Scripture. The entire arc of humanity's relationship to God is one of being made in God's perfect image, falling into sin, and ultimately being redeemed — forgiven — through Jesus Christ's sacrifice on the Cross. And all along, there are constant cycles of God's people trying, failing, and being forgiven in smaller ways.
But who deserves forgiveness? What will God forgive, and what won't he forgive? And on the other hand, who deserves our forgiveness? As it turns out, these questions are very closely linked. Here are 28 Bible verses (and some slightly longer passages) on forgiveness to help you consider these questions. |

July 8 — The IRS clarified that the Johnson Amendment, which restricts nonprofits from endorsing political candidates, does not apply to religious services. Critics have long argued the law is unconstitutional, while supporters warn that weakening it could turn the church into a political tool and harm its witness. American Christians largely agree, with 70% believing clergy should not endorse political candidates. The IRS has only ever enforced the law once, in 1992. (RNS) |
| July 8 — Erton Köhler was elected the first South American president of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, a global Protestant denomination with 23 million members across 200 countries. Köhler emphasized unity amidst political polarization and aims to engage youth, expand women's leadership, and leverage technology for outreach. Known for promoting healthy living, Adventists advocate vegetarianism and abstinence from alcohol and tobacco. (RNS) |
| July 8 — It can be easy to lose sight of the good things happening around the world amid the regular news cycle. Gen Z's faith is growing, with Bible engagement among men up 19% last year. Over a dozen African nations have eradicated local diseases, benefiting 1.6 billion people. Global extreme poverty hit a record low of 8% in 2024. Coral reefs are showing signs of recovery. And U.S. recidivism rates improved, with 62% of 2012 prison releases staying out after five years. (RELEVANT) |

When I tell people that I use the Psalms as a prayerbook, their first question always has to do with the imprecatory psalms — the ones that ask God for vengeance. People doubt that we should pray them considering what Jesus says about loving our enemies. They also wonder if our prayers shouldn't rise above the conflict that marks our age.
I believe the imprecatory psalms are exactly what we need to love this fallen world. In fact, I suggest that these angry prayers might just hold the key to living out the teachings of Jesus. If we are going to love like God, then we need all the prayers that he's given.
To best understand this, we simply need to look at the author of some of those angry prayers: David. |
| The first letter of Peter was written near the end of his life from Rome, to encourage faithful witness in a hostile world. Here's your quick reference guide to the epistle, including summary, key verse, important info, and reading guides. |

In these hope-filled pages, bestselling author, pastor, and respected Bible teacher Dr. David Jeremiah focuses our attention not on the problems at hand, but on the hand of God. That's because Jesus Himself told us what to expect from this season of history when He delivered His Olivet Discourse—a significant sermon that scholars have called "the most important single passage of prophecy in all the Bible." |
