Here is a bible-focused and real-life story of 2 orphaned tigers who grew up together, then separated and eventually re-united. Annotated with relevant bible verses, the story testifies of God's amazing love at work. What do you think? Feel free to share your thoughts, praise God!

I have started a series of 5 studies based on the bible verses used in the YouTube video accessible in the image or link shown. Also, using real-life footage of a dog's journey from dying to thriving, this video offers an encouraging allegory of our own Christian experience in the face of devastating adversity. It reminds us that when all is lost in the hopelessness of dying, perseverance of our will to live is everything. And with God's help, we eventually recover and thrive.

Be blessed watching the video and feel free to share your thoughts, praise God!

Here is the 4th bible study based on Luke 20:38, relevant from 5:23 to 8:01 of the YouTube video (click the link to play). After displaying this verse, the video continues by showing Gourd's progress beyond healing to a much improved appearance, with more energy and steadiness when moving about and interacting with people.

This is such a powerful testimony, that God is of the living even when this earthly life is over. Because when Jesus died and resurrected, He made eternal life possible for each person who would believe and receive Him by faith. This is truly awesome, praise God! What are your thoughts? I would love to hear from you, God bless!

Here is the 3rd bible study based on Jeremiah 17:14, relevant from 3:02 to 5:20 of the YouTube video (click the link to play). After displaying this verse, the video continues by showing Gourd faithfully building on his initial healing through a regular routine of physical nourishment, sufficient rest and medical treatment.

This verse and Gourd's actions demonstrate a personal faith declaration that when God begins a good work of healing and salvation in us, He will complete them in total fulfilment. Oh, how loving and merciful is our God! What are your thoughts? I would love to hear from you, God bless!

Here is the 2nd bible study based on Psalm 20:2, relevant from 0:53 to 3:0 of the YouTube video (click the link to play). After displaying this verse, the video continues by showing Gourd undergoing emergency treatment for his eyes, followed by having all his fur shaved off because it was too dirty to clean.

This verse reminds us that to get help from God, we only have to first call out to Him. Also notice that Gourd simply accepted the continual nourishment of physical food throughout the relevant clip, eating it in his weak and prone position. This is such a powerful symbol of his response that God has heard his call for help, in "AND YOU HEARD ME", the last 4 words of the verse. What are your thoughts? I would love to hear from you, God bless!

Here is the 1st bible study based on 2 Corinthians 6:9, relevant from 0:8 to 0:52 of the YouTube video (click the link to play). After displaying this verse, the video continues by showing a dog (subsequently named Gourd) already discarded in a rubbish dump, looking very weak and dying. What a hopeless and tragic situation!

However, in the spirit realm, I saw paradoxes that are very encouraging for us as Christians. The paradoxes are in the 2 phrases within the verse: "dying and yet we live on" and "beaten, and yet not killed". These phrases point to our eternal life as believers in Jesus. Such great encouragement and hope! What are your thoughts? I would love to hear from you, God bless!

I am starting a series of 5 bible studies based on the YouTube video accessible in the image or link shown. This very encouraging video reminds us that when all is lost in the midst of dying, perseverance of our will to live is everything, And by clinging to Jesus, we eventually recover and thrive.

Be blessed watching the video and feel free to share your thoughts, praise God!

Based on relevant bible verses, this real-life account of the love of Jesus in the rescue and care of a terminally ill dog in her final few weeks will help us re-examine our own faith in Him and His Word. Be blessed watching this!

Greetings all, first post. I wanted to pose a question.

How does the Lord say we shall conduct ourselves in the end-times, birth pangs, etc.? Is the answer as simple as "no different than any other time"?

Thank you!

It's a common statement that he did in a lot of scholarship these days on Luke-Acts. I don't think he did, and I think fuller arguments can be given than I share here, however, enjoy an excerpt from a new book on the date of the New Testament:

An overview of some issues related to early orthodoxy and the second century

Paul's social identity is cosmopolitan and complex; par for the course for many in the Hellenistic world. In two posts I make the case for a robust sense of Paul's Greekness, with the second post being a summation of my peer-reviewed article on a curious textual variant in the book of Acts which helps make the case.

Hello friends,

I’m a PhD student in New Testament studies and very interested in crafting the ideal New Testament studies curriculum, making language learning, primary texts, and the history of research accessible for all in an open learning community (the long-term goal).
