As Christians, we know how important it is to read our Bibles every day in order to get to know God better and hear from Him. Studies even show how our lives significantly improve the more we spend time in Scripture every week.
We know these things, but sometimes it's a lot harder to actually do it.
I want to give you four tips for studying the Bible for yourself in 2025 and actually enjoy the process instead of only doing it out of conviction. Whether you've read the Bible for decades or are just starting out, these tips will help you approach Scripture with clarity and confidence. |

July 17 — Bible-based TV continues to be having a moment. Currently streaming on Angel Studios, Testament sets the Book of Acts in a dystopian, modern Britain, blending ancient themes with contemporary visuals and emotional depth. Meanwhile, FOX's The Faithful, which will premiere on Hulu next March, focuses on the women of Genesis, with Minnie Driver starring as Sarah in a drama exploring love, faith, and family. (Christianity Today and RELEVANT) |
| July 18 — Recent research by Youth for Christ, the latest in the ongoing conversation around the "Quiet Revival" in the UK (see July 5 below), suggests growing spiritual interest among young people in the UK, with 52% identifying as Christian and 35% as followers of Jesus — a 12% increase over five years. The study highlights the openness of Gen Alpha (ages 11-18) to faith, with 53% willing to attend church if invited by a friend. (Christian Today) |
| July 18 — Often overlooked or misunderstood, the Song of Solomon offers profound spiritual insights beyond its celebration of marital love. The book was historically cherished by figures like Charles Spurgeon and Jonathan Edwards, who argued that it symbolizes the love between Christ and his church. By reading it through a Christ-centered lens, believers can deepen their understanding of divine love. (The Gospel Coalition) |

The news of the Hill Country flood is heartbreaking. Having served as a pastor in the area for nearly forty years, I know the Guadalupe River well. Retreats. Camps. Conferences. Baptism Services. Weekend getaways. I've experienced them all. We've loved the area and its fine people.
The angry Guadalupe took so much from so many. The death toll is over 100 people and many are still missing. Right now we need to come together to pray and keep praying. Would you join me in this holy assignment? |
| 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. |
