The Plain Word contributors hope you find this site helpful. If you are looking for a deeper understanding of the Word of God we believe we have something to offer you. There is nothing more important in life, than who should we trust for our eternal destiny. The Bible tells us it is in Christ alone, that he can save us completely and forever. We must come to the cross of Christ with nothing but our sins. We must leave behind everything we have been trusting in; for He promises to give us His righteousness when we trust Him alone.
We want to encourage others with our blogs, as well as be encouraged through Christian dialogue on the given subject matter. This blog endeavors to journey through the Bible. Our initial blogs lay the foundation on which we will build. These initial blogs will focus on the character of God, His governance, and the beginning of chaos and evil. To start at the beginning, go to the 'Archives' and select June 2021.
Some blogs will have companion post, which are beneficial in understanding context. The companion post(s) may include information on a key 'word', phrase, reference, etc. It is important to understand scripture in context and it is our aim to establish these basics in hope of providing a deeper meaning of God’s word. Other blogs may be part of a series due to the vastness of the subject matter and content. Each blog will be tagged with categories so a search can be done to garner blogs within a topic, for example: Creation, Marriage, Flood, etc.
The Plain Word uses many sources which are relative to the blog’s subject matter and credits them accordingly. There are many Christian entities that have materials that contain credible information and insight on a given topic, this does not mean that The Plain Word endorses other content which they publish. The outside materials that are quoted or reference is content that The Plain Word stands behind, however; it is not an endorsement by The Plain Word of the author's opinion, lifestyle or work published elsewhere. The Plain Word is not affiliated with these ministries.
The Plain Word doesn’t expect any person to take our word for it, rather we strongly encourage each visitor to study the scriptures for themselves just as the Berean’s did when Paul and Silas preached in their area (Acts 17:10-12). Consider this directive of scripture:
2 Timothy 2:15, “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”
1 Thessalonians 5:21, “Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.”
Isaiah 28:9-10, “Whom shall he teach knowledge? And whom shall he make to understand doctrine?… For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; her a little, and there a little:”
Hebrews 1:2, "Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;"
John 16:7-13, "Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: Of sin, because they believe not on me; Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
And more verses on how to study God’s word. Ask for the Holy Spirit to guide you as you seek truth.
We use BibleGateway.com, KingJamesBibleOnline.com, and KnowingJesus as well as a variety of online concordances, lexicons, and other bible tools to gather scripture references on specific topics.
Our hope is that you enjoy the journey and find God’s blessings in His word. STAY TUNED...STAY CONNECTED!!!
