[Infographic] The apostle John
You've already seen the infographic on his older brother: now let's get a closer look at the apostle John. John is one of those characters you hear from a lot in the Bible—he's traditionally credited for writing five books of the New Testament. We know a...
The apostle Philip: the infographic
Some of the apostles get special attention in the gospels, and some get no story at all (we're looking at you, Simon the Zealot). But a few of the twelve fall somewhere in the middle—Philip is a good example of an apostle that doesn't get much face time, but still...
Everyone who rose from the dead in the Bible
We all can name two Bible characters who return from the grave: Jesus and Lazarus. But the Bible lists 10 events in which the dead are raised (not counting the future resurrection). As I write this, Easter is upon us. As we remember Jesus' resurrection and eagerly...
The apostle Andrew: the infographic
The apostle Andrew is a bit of a mystery: he's Simon Peter's brother, but he's way, way in the background compared to his brother. I'm getting to know all 12 apostles a little better, and Andrew has been an interesting character to study. I've always liked the apostle...
The apostle Thomas: the infographic
The apostle Thomas gets a pretty bad rap among Christians: he's remembered as "Doubting Thomas," the guy who wouldn't believe Jesus was risen until he had physical proof. We've all heard about how Thomas was the skeptic in the group, but the Bible gives us a little...
The 10 most popular books of the Bible (and why)
What is the most popular book of the Bible? We've all wondered at some point—out of 66 different books, there have to be a few that resonate with more people than others, right? Yep. Turns out that some books of the Bible get a lot more attention than others. The kind...
6 things God will never do for you
We all love hearing about the (good) things God has said He'll do for us—but what about the things God won't do? I guess there's a good reason people focus on the positives: the positives are pretty amazing. God comforts His people (Is 51:11). God protects His people...
The Apostle James: the infographic
My brother-in-law suggested an idea to me a few weeks ago: what if I did a piece on the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ? I think it's a great idea. We can learn a lot about ourselves by studying these men. These guys were some of the first to share the gospel: they're...
If you take me up on this Easter challenge, you won’t be sorry
We're four weeks away from Easter. In just a month, churches will celebrate the most important event in history: the Lord Jesus Christ's resurrection from the dead. What better way to remember His sacrifice, His love, and His glorious victory than to read His story? I...
Everything the Bible says God loves [infographic]
God's love never really goes out of style. We sing about it. We blog about it. We preach it. We (ought to) live it. But I recently wondered: what does the Bible say God loves? I usually find some interesting stuff when I dig up lists like these, and this one is no...
