My readers will remember that God had prophesied in Genesis 3:14-15 that because of his deception of Adam and Eve, the "Dragon-Snake" (or serpent) would be cursed to slither in the dirt and eat dust. Many more Old Testament prophecies declare with specificity that heads would be crushed by a certain “He” or “Him.”
The Apostle Paul declares that all these Old Testament prophecies would surely culminate at a particular, “set time” when that certain “He” would finally come — and crush the serpent once and for all.

Depending on the headline, you might think the American church is in trouble or is headed in the right direction. As impossible as it sounds, both of these conclusions are based on the same reality.
The American Bible Society (ABS) released the latest report from its 2026 State of the Bible Survey, focusing on the health of the American church. The inquiry was direct: who attends church? Do they like it? Are they growing in their faith and engaging in the Scriptures?

Few books of the Bible reward your careful study the way John does. Its prose might seem plain on the surface — full of short sentences and repeated words — but beneath that simplicity lies a theological depth that has challenged the greatest minds for two thousand years.

This guide will help you understand the book, plan a twelve-week study structure, and guide your people (or yourself) from the ancient text into your everyday lives.

If the thought of public speaking makes you weak in the knees, you are far from alone. It’s regularly rated as one of Americans’ top fears, and it’s where one of the Bible’s bravest men started out.
Moses, a hero of the faith who was the conduit for the earliest foundations of Scripture — a man who boldly stood up to the most powerful man on the planet — started out as an anxious, hesitant defeatist who wanted nothing to do with the task God had assigned him.
