Notice of Copyrights
Note to our readers: We believe Scripture, the Bible, to be the inerrant, infallible, and inspired Word of God, given to us as the foundation of the Christian faith and the sole source by which to examine all doctrine and teaching.
Most frequently quoted here will be the ESV. Other versions can be helpful in the study of Scripture to see how thought-for-thought translations speak to original meaning/intent. We encourage you to test any writing of ours to Scripture, as we all should do with any teaching we read or hear. May God bless your studying of His Word.
