Begin wherever your curiosity leads. The studies will be here when you’re ready. When I shared my first Matthew study on Facebook today, I mentioned that I planned to post daily, though I might not share every post on Facebook. As I continue setting up this blog, I’ve realized that what matters most to me is making my past studies available for anyone who wants to explore them. For now, I’ll be adding posts to my heart’s content as I work through those studies. Some days that may mean one post; other days it may mean several.

Provision is already before their eyes, but recognition requires instruction. Read Exodus 16:14–16. The gathering also tests whether they will follow God’s direction. Some gather more and some less, yet when measured, there is neither excess nor lack. When some dis...

Hearing ~ Seeing ~ Revealing — H01: Whose Voice Are We Following?

This post begins the additional studies for Hearing ~ Seeing ~ Revealing , returning to connections that were briefly mentioned or left incomplete in the original series. We begin in the garden, examining how deception is received and passed onward—and our responsibility to examine whose voice we follow. Links to the related published posts appear at the end. Returning to the Garden A teaching does not become true because someone we trust repeats it. The garden brings that responsibility before us. God gives instruction. Another voice offers a competing explanation. The woman receives it, takes, and gives to the man. He eats. The question reaches beyond what they ate. Whose word directed their action? God Spoke Before the Serpent Offered an Explanation Genesis names both the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. God’s provision and His prohibition are present before the serpent speaks. The instruction does not originate with the serpent; the serpent introduces a ...
