"Nothing new under the sun" — it's a popular phrase that comes directly from Ecclesiastes 1:9. It's helpful to look at the full text of the verse to put it into context:
"What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun."
— Eccl. 1:9 (NIV)
It means that nothing we face today has not already been part of the human story. That's encouraging to me because the Bible is full of the stories of men and women who have walked through whatever we may be facing in 2026. From broken families to devastating diagnoses, there is hope tucked into every single journey. |

New Biblical Video Game Lets You Slay Genesis-Era Giants — Mar. 3: Ever wondered what it might be like to be a giant-slaying leper in biblical times? Wonder no more, thanks to The Abased, a new Bible-inspired fantasy action video game from indie developed CALYXIR. Players take on the role of Elyhias, a leper and fallen "faith enforcer," tasked with confronting resurgent giants threatening civilization in a pre-Flood world. The game is listed on Steam for Windows PC, but a release date is yet to be announced. (RELEVANT) |
| What Were Synagogues Like in the Time of Jesus and Paul? — Mar. 3: Recent research into ancient synagogues reveals how Jewish communities experienced these sacred spaces through their senses. Beyond architectural studies, scholars now explore the use of light, sound, and scent in synagogues. Artifacts like menorahs, oil lamps, and incense burners suggest that illumination and aromatics played a significant role in creating a sense of holiness, enhancing worship as both a physical and spiritual experience. (Biblical Archaeology Society) |
| Prayer Booklet Gaining Traction With Skeptics Worldwide — Mar. 4: The trypraying booklet, a seven-day prayer guide designed for non-Christians, is gaining traction worldwide, with endorsements from figures like Bear Grylls. Available in 12 countries, including recent launches in South Africa, Germany, and Ukraine, the booklet invites skeptics to explore prayer in a simple, approachable way, with relatable testimonies and straightforward prayers such as, "God, if you're there, I want to know you."

Over the years, I've heard countless stories of Christians who have experienced the life shattering effects of financial fraud by "Christian" business partners, spousal infidelity, or childhood sexual abuse, only to be told that to be obedient to Scripture they must essentially forgive and forget.
Does biblical forgiveness preclude consequences for destructive sin? Will God refuse to forgive those who refuse to reconcile with an unrepentant, dangerous person?
Matthew 18 actually teaches the opposite. |

When I discovered "systematic theology" was trending on Google, I had to know why. (It's an unusually academic topic, after all.) Turns out it all goes back to a new Christian company called Valorrea selling handy workbooks for both adults and kids.
Except not.
In fact, Valorrea is not a Christian organization at all but a Chinese shell company hawking overpriced reproductions of pirated books, alongside generic AI-generated illustrations.
Unfortunately, this is just the latest scam of its kind. In this article, I'm going to set the record straight — and help you avoid getting duped by bad actors. |
| Spiritual Warfare is something that every child of God faces. We encounter spiritual battles almost every day and almost everywhere we go. Understanding what the Bible has to say about spiritual battles, providing both warnings and encouragement, is critical to gaining the proper perspective on the fight that we engage in every day.
The Thompson Chain-Reference Bible (TCR) categorizes and references many verses about Spiritual Warfare, making it a great choice for studying this important topic. In this post, we'll see how to build a Bible study on Spiritual Warfare using the TCR. |
