Ryan Jones and David Shishkoff on what it means to live among the places where Scripture actually happened.

The Bible shows us that pain and joy can dwell within the same heart – and that true joy does not begin where tears disappear, but where they are allowed to have their place.

Samuel learns to recognize God’s voice – and shows us why true listening requires courage, patience, and faith.

Hardly any question runs so powerfully through the Bible as this one. It is the question of home, identity, promise and responsibility.

We are used to thinking that the big questions of life are questions of identity: Who am I? What matters to me? Who do I want to be?

More than the others, it is the Third Commandment that is brazenly violated by acts of terrorism allegedly committed in the name of God.

What may seem here like a platitude is actually a lesson that is difficult to take to heart in life. This saying touches on the human desire to have everything at once: success, security, meaning, control.

Jacob believed he had to be someone else in order to receive the blessing. But his search for his own identity was far from over. His path led him away from home – and many years later back to the crucial question: Who am I really?

Why the Bible distinguishes between seeing, recognizing, and being seen.
