FREE Infographics book, not just for new subscribers to the newsletter

2026-07-10 by bible805

I made this book a free download if you subscribe to the newsletter — not sure if that helps or not — it seems to me if you want updates, you want them; if not a free book won’t help. But I thought I’d try it.

Regardless, one thing that has helped me a lot in my personal study and in preparing lessons has been to create infographics where I draw out various concepts or times in history that have confused me as I read the Bible.

This collection (with the exception of the last two–and there is an interesting tale about them and A.I.) contains some that my students have found most useful. The red arrow on the image here is pointing to the chart that’s gotten over 70,000 downloads.

Anyone can download the PDF ebook, and use the images in it with my blessings.

Understanding the Trinity, Part One, The Three Persons of the Trinity

2026-07-09 by bible805

This lesson explains that the doctrine of the Trinity is not a confusing mystery but a truth revealed throughout the Bible. It introduces the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as three distinct, eternal persons who share the one divine nature. It also addresses common misunderstandings, explains biblical personhood, and shows how each member of the Trinity works together in perfect unity for our salvation.

Answers to the Big Questions of Life, Genesis and Job, part three

2026-06-24 by bible805

In this final lesson in the Genesis and Job series, we explore three important questions: What about people who have never heard of Jesus? Why do innocent people suffer? How can we help people who are suffering?

Through the story of Job and examples throughout the Bible, we see that God is at work in ways we often cannot see or fully understand. We learn that God does not relate to us on a simple transactional basis where obedience guarantees earthly prosperity. Instead, God is sovereign, spiritual warfare is real, suffering can serve purposes beyond our understanding, and God’s ultimate plans extend into eternity. We are called to trust Him, help others with kindness and wisdom, and maintain an eternal perspective in both suffering and service.

Truly upsetting facts about Bible literacy and a reminder that Bible805 can help

2026-06-23 by bible805

My purpose in Bible805 is to help you know, trust, apply, and teach the Bible.

I know personally from many years of teaching how little many people in our world today know nothing about the Bible, but even then, though I deal with this all the time, I was shocked with the results of these studies that were done last year in 2025. The two studies that both measured current Bible literacy in the U.S. are:

A 2025 study by the National Bible Literacy Project

The 2025 State of the Bible by the American Bible Society

Below I’ll share 6 facts from the studies and then a few closing comments. You can either listen to them, or read them below the podcast.
