Have you ever read a passage in the Bible and thought you understood it only to realize later that maybe you didn’t? The truth is, many of us read the Bible through our modern lens, and the original meaning of the words can get lost along the way. Words like gospel, salvation, and even Church sound familiar, but do we truly understand them the way the biblical writers intended? In our latest article, Dave Smith explores why words matter, context matters more, and the Word incarnate in us matters most. He shares how reading Scripture carefully, with attention to context and the guidance of the Spirit, can transform not just our lives, but the lives of those around us as well. If you’ve ever wanted a fresh perspective on reading the Bible faithfully or wondered how to experience Scripture in a way that changes your life, this is for you!
