January 22 — Jordan is working to boost Christian pilgrimage by collaborating with global evangelical leaders ahead of the 2,000th anniversary of Jesus' baptism in 2030. Important Christian sites, like Bethany Beyond the Jordan, are being prepared for this milestone. WEA leaders, including Rev. Botrus Mansour and Rev. Nabeeh Abbasi, expressed enthusiasm for joint projects, organized pilgrimages, and cultural exchange, highlighting Jordan's historical significance and commitment to faith-based tourism. (Christian Daily) |
| January 23 — AI-based tools for biblical engagement are proliferating, forcing Bible teachers and pastoral leaders to wrestle with their implications. On one hand, these tools can enrich Bible study by providing diverse perspectives and convenient resources. However, they pose risks such as replacing pastoral care, reinforcing biases, and hindering spiritual growth. While AI can complement traditional methods, it cannot replace the relational and spiritual depth brought by human souls made in God's image. (Evangelical Focus) |
| January 24 — Dei Verbum, Pope Leo XIV's document on divine revelation, offers five tips for Catholic biblical interpretation. First, Scripture is "without error" in matters of salvation. Second, understanding the human writer's intention is crucial, as it shapes the text. Third, recognizing literary forms — like poetry or history — helps clarify meaning. Fourth, historical context is essential for grasping the writer's perspective. Finally, individual passages must be read within the unity of the entire Bible and Church tradition. (Aleteia) |

Chain-references and cross-references are two popular methods of linking the Scriptures together. Both types of references are helpful and great for Bible study. Both types allow Scripture to interpret Scripture. However, there are differences in the way they work.
In this post, we'll compare the Thompson Chain-Reference Bible's (TCR) chain-reference system and typical cross-references. By doing so, we'll examine how the TCR is different from a standard reference Bible. |

The Lord's Prayer may be the greatest distillation in all of Scripture of who God is, why Jesus came, and what our role is here on earth. It's a blueprint for daily life as a disciple of Jesus.
When Jesus taught his disciples to pray, it matters that he didn't begin with lofty divine titles or elaborate requests, but with relationship. We see it in two simple words: Our Father. |
| This reading plan serves as a primer for C. S. Lewis's classic work of Christian apologetics, Mere Christianity. Each day, for four days, you'll be introduced to one of the four major sections that Lewis divides his book into, followed by reflection questions and relevant Scripture passages.
Mere Christianity brings together Lewis' legendary broadcast talks during World War II. In it, Lewis introduces the main beliefs of the Christian faith and discusses topics of: right and wrong, human nature, morality, marriage, sins, forgiveness, faith, hope, generosity, and theology. |
