Build Carefully

Foundations

This is where every believer should begin. Before we argue about difficult verses, we need somewhere solid to stand. These teachings work through some of the biblical ideas that shape everything else—Torah, grace, sin, covenant, context, lawlessness, Israel, and the larger story Scripture is telling.

You do not have to agree with Sasha before you begin. You do have to open the Bible.

Explore the Open Your Bible Library

Some questions need one teaching. Some need an entire guided study. Some belong to a particular season of life.

And sometimes what you really need is to learn how to study the question for yourself.

A Final Word

The Goal Is Not More Content.

There will always be another article to read, another teacher to hear, another book to buy, and another opinion waiting online.

The goal of Open Your Bible is not to make you dependent on more content. It is to help you become increasingly comfortable opening Scripture, asking good questions, reading carefully, testing what you hear, and remaining teachable before Yehovah.

Use the teaching. Use the study. Use the tools. Then open the Bible.
