In these 150 chapters, we find a range of themes and doctrines laid out for us. More than that, these are specifically written for occasions of singing and worship. But how should we understand these 150 chapters, divided into five books? Here's a thematic approach to understanding each of the five books of the Psalter. I hope it's helpful and gives you the tools to better understand this unique book of Scripture.Support the showIf you're ready to dive deep with me, consider joining my all-new membership site Better Readers Academy.

The book of Ruth tells us a simple story, but there are numerous thematic layers to discover which help us to appreciate the beauty and depth of God's word. In this episode, we will look at character development, book ends, and thematic comparisons of the various genres of the Old Testament, all of which demonstrate that the book of Ruth is much more significant than we may have realized. Best of all, today's study methods can also be used in your study of other biblical narratives. I hope you find this helpful in deepening your love for the Lord and His Word.Support the showIf you're ready to dive deep with me, consider joining my all-new membership site Better Readers Academy.

The minor prophets are often hard to understand, but Scripture provides us with helpful themes and concepts that can make a huge difference in helping us unlock their significance. Today, we will consider how Exodus 34:6 provides us with an important self-revelation of God that comes up repeatedly throughout the minor prophets. If you find yourself confused or perplexed in understanding the significance of the minor prophets, this episode should help your Bible reading and comprehension tremendously!Support the showIf you're ready to dive deep with me, consider joining my all-new membership site Better Readers Academy.

The Sabbath is a complicated doctrine in Christianity, with one extreme focusing entirely on what day the sabbath should be observed and another entirely forgetting the doctrine. Prooftexts alone are unhelpful, as we find the sabbath taking on a progressive development throughout biblical revelation (Genesis-Revelation). Here's a survey of the kind of working biblical knowledge needed to come away with a solid understanding of the Sabbath and how it progresses throughout the scope of Scripture.Support the showIf you're ready to dive deep with me, consider joining my all-new membership site Better Readers Academy.

Kevin from Better Bible Reading proposes a new approach to Bible reading in 2025. Instead of following a chronological reading plan, he suggests focusing on a single genre for the entire year. This could be a category from the Old or New Testament, such as the books of Moses, the historical books, wisdom literature, the prophets, the Gospels, the Pauline Epistles, or Hebrews through Revelation. This reading method aims to deepen our understanding and appreciation of a particular genre and its connections with other genres in the Bible. Kevin also offers a six-month split option for those who find a full-year commitment daunting. He encourages viewers to utilize existing resources on his channel for further help.Support the showIf you're ready to dive deep with me, consider joining my all-new membership site Better Readers Academy.

I recently had the privilege of interviewing the author of a new book published by Crossway: "What is Covenant Theology? Tracing God's Promises Through the Son, the Seed, and the Sacraments." Two things make this book review extra special, compared to previous book reviews. First, I get to interview the author himself. Second, the author is also my systematics professor at seminary!Today we welcome Dr. Ryan McGraw to the show to discuss his latest book. Dr. McGraw serves as the Morton H. Smith professor of Systematic Theology at Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary. In this episode, we discuss the following questions/topics:Why this book about covenant theology?What is covenant theology? What does covenant theology provide as an interpretive system that other systems can't provide?How is the Trinity central to covenant theology, and how does this play into your working definition of “covenant”?If the Bible is to be understood covenantally, why do we have two “testaments” and how do these relate to the old and new “covenant”?How is covenant theology a profoundly “practical” blessing?Support the showIf you're ready to dive deep with me, consider joining my all-new membership site Better Readers Academy.

We interview Dr. Matthew Everhard, pastor and author of his most recent book "Worshiptainment: The Modern Church's Golden Calf". Everhard dives into some of the most troubling trends in modern worship throughout America, but this book is far from a simple critique. Instead, Everhard helpfully constructs some of the most important and foundational protestant principles of worship, keying in on what we should do when we worship, why we should do it, and how the word of God must remain central to our worship gatherings. I hope you are blessed and challenged by our conversation- and encouraged to read the book!Support the showIf you're ready to dive deep with me, consider joining my all-new membership site Better Readers Academy.

Good Friday is a mixed bag for Christians. Some treat the day very seriously, some churches have special services, and other Christians simply skip Good Friday and go straight to celebrating Easter. But what should we think about Good Friday? Rather than telling you how to celebrate Good Friday, I want to tell you how we should think through the events. Specifically, I want to spend this episode discussing how Good Friday was a day when much more was going on than what met the eyes of Jesus' disciples, the crowds, and the religious leaders. In fact, we're going to see how the events taking place during Good Friday were meant to call us back to the curse and the promise found in Genesis 3.Support the showIf you enjoyed this episode and want to support the show, consider becoming a Patron!

Is this a helpful statement? Is it a Roman Catholic idea? Is it even biblical? Today I want to share with you a provocative statement made by none other than the Protestant Reformer, John Calvin. Today we're doing a little church history, some interaction with Ephesians 4, and an overall increase (hopefully) in our appreciation for belonging to both Jesus Himself, and His church. Support the showIf you enjoyed this episode and want to support the show, consider becoming a Patron!

Genealogies are probably the least-appreciated part of the Bible. They're full of names hard to pronounce, and if our motivation is low, we'll find a reason to simply skip over them altogether. But that's no good. Genealogies are worth out time- not only because they are part of God's inspired Word- but also because they make some important points when it comes to understanding the Bible's claim to historical reliability and theological interpretation. To help you appreciate genealogies, let's take a look at the two genealogies of Jesus (Matthew and Luke) and see what they teach us about the birth narratives of Jesus.Support the showIf you enjoyed this episode and want to support the show, consider becoming a Patron!

Hey friends! I'll be preaching a series of sermons through the book of Ruth at my church, and I wanted to share them with you. You can expect these sermons about once a month, and if you've never studied the book of Ruth before, this sermon will be a great place to start, since we'll kick things off in chapter 1, verse 1. Thanks for listening!Support the showIf you enjoyed this episode and want to support the show, consider becoming a Patron!

While the gospel of John is a popular place to start for many Bible readers (either new Christians or new reading plans), you might wonder where to go from there. I think the best book to follow John's gospel is actually 1st John. This book acts as an inspired commentary on many of the themes found in the gospel of John. Today we'll look at some of these, and hopefully, you'll come away with a new appreciation of this book!Support the showIf you enjoyed this episode and want to support the show, consider becoming a Patron!

How does the Incarnation relate to the human condition, known as "the rat race"? It turns out, the vicious cycle of human existence eluded to us by Solomon is exactly what we need to come to terms with, in order to appreciate the good news of Jesus Christ. In a manner of speaking, Ecclesiastes reminds us of the bad news which makes the gospel so glorious. During a season of hustle and bustle, New Years' resolutions, and attempts to remedy our lives with silver bullets, we need to be reminded of the rescue and freedom that Jesus accomplishes for His people by entering into the human experience on our behalf.This sermon is entitled "The Heart of the Matter" from Ecclesiastes 9:11-18.

There are thousands of Bible reading plans, but I want to share with you the 5 Bible reading plans I think you should use in 2023. While these 5 Bible reading plans may sound like too much, I will share with you what makes each one of them unique, and worth your time! 1. The Robert Murray M'Cheyne Bible Reading PlanThis plan is divided into personal and family reading, averaging 4-5 Bible chapters each day in various genres. In a year, you'll read the Old Testament once, and the New Testament and Psalms twice.Download Robert Murray M'Cheyne's Bible Reading Plan Here:https://www.mcheyne.info/calendar.pdf2. The 2/1 Reading PlanThe name of the game here is simple: Read two chapters in the Old Testament and one chapter in the New Testament each day. You'll finish in roughly one year.Check out Matthew Everhard's Bible Reading Plan Printout Here:https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B__wL9T6X1mXM1FtWERBYnBSOWtKei03bDRNbXlIYTZYMmpJ/view?resourcekey=0-vtYIb_f_oq3a-YKYdwkMdw3. Read the Entire New Testament in One MonthThe New Testament is made up of 26 books. This is the toughest of all the plans because it requires a lot of reading every day. However, it's a quick win for anyone who is willing to dive deep for one month, getting a rich overview of the entire New Testament.4. Read the Psalms in One MonthA little easier than the entire New Testament, this plan simply requires reading 5 Psalms each day, finishing all 150 in 30 days5. Read Proverbs in One MonthHere's the easiest plan. Read one chapter from the book of Proverbs each day, finishing all 31 in one month. You'll see structure and patterns in Proverbs that you would never have noticed before!Remember, Bible reading plans are only a means to an end: meeting with God in His Word.

Today we welcome Dr. Matthew Everhard back onto the Better Bible Reading Podcast to talk about his newest book entitled "Souls: How Jesus Saves Sinners". "Souls" is a book about the gospel, and it brings to light the importance of our souls in the context of sharing and understanding the gospel. We'll cover some questions about the book, some dangers of false gospels today, and what we should take away from this topic. Below is a link for the book- and please note that the book is also available in Kindle and Audible format as well!https://www.amazon.com/Souls-How-Jesus-Saves-Sinners/dp/B0BHKV234P/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3UCVNKHXLJV3I&keywords=souls+how+jesus+saves+sinners&qid=1670620485&sprefix=souls+how+jesus+saves+si%2Caps%2C348&sr=8-1Support the show

The more we read our Bibles, the more layers we start to uncover. If this hasn't happened for you, or you find yourself thinking that you've already learned everything there is to know about a passage, let me encourage you to start thinking about biblical themes. The themes in the Bible connect the dots in amazing ways. Not only do they cross over from the Old to New Testament- but they also cross over between different biblical genres. Today we'll look at a theme in the Bible that crosses between Genesis, Proverbs, and Revelation. Two different testaments and three different genres. Let's connect the dots and enhance our Bible reading!Support the show

This question is very divisive. Some people argue that Bible interpretation is all about the work of understanding the grammar and literary features of the Bible, along with some historical background knowledge. Others argue that only the Holy Spirit can interpret the Bible to us and it requires none of those things. What doesn't help is that we typically argue this question with two different definitions of what exactly Bible interpretation means. Today I want to offer a balanced approach that (hopefully) avoids both extremes. I hope it's helpful to your own endeavor to correctly interpret the Bible while being led by the Spirit!Support the show

Today I want to focus on one specific way to upgrade your Bible reading process. It's a visual aid tool that anyone can use because just about everyone has this already. You don't need any tech gear or even an internet connection. All you need is a Bible and one highlighter.

From Theoretical-Practical Theology Volume 1, pages 104-112Today we're wrapping up chapter 1 with Peter van Mastricht's interesting explanation of what the big idea behind theology is. For some people, theology is all about doctrine. For others, it's all about practice. And for most of us, it's somewhere between the middle. Peter van Mastricht gives us his answer about the chief end of theology by calling it "preeminently practical". Here's what that means and how it makes his approach to theology unique. Support the show

What does the parable of the persistent widow teach us? This parable is unique to the gospel of Luke, but thankfully we don't have to guess about the right interpretation of this parable. That's because Luke tells us exactly what it's about in verse 1: "And he told them a parable to the effect that they ought always to pray and not lose heart." Today we'll consider how this parable encourages us to pray and how prayer keeps us from losing heart. This video is from a recent sermon I preached at Grace Community Church in Yulee Florida.

Is the Old Testament expendable? With "New Testament Only" Bibles, troubling statements from notable pastors, and arguments from the culture, the Old Testament repeatedly finds itself in the crosshairs. In response to this, the Old Testament gets pushed to the side. Is this a sign of innovation and progress, or does it represent a troubling trend that would destroy Christianity? Today we'll discuss what happens when the Old Testament is expendable, and why you should care about the 2/3's of your Bible that normally gets ignored. Support the show

From Theoretical-Practical Theology Volume 1, pages 98-104When people talk about living for God, it's not always clear what that means. Maybe it has to do with showing love to others. Maybe it means fulfilling some kind of vow. Or maybe it means something entirely different. If someone asked you, how would you explain living for God? Peter Van Mastricht does a great job of using his own definition of theology as a way to explain what it means to live for God, and that's our topic of discussion for today!Support the show

How often do you compare other Bible translations with your favorite one? Today I want to give two personal examples of how failing to do this can be a HUGE mistake, and why comparing multiple Bible translations can greatly improve our ability to understand any passage in the Bible. Support the show

From Theoretical-Practical Theology Volume 1, pages 86-98Is theology simply a matter of knowledge? How do you know if your theology is correct? How does practice relate to theology? Today, Peter van Mastricht gives us an interesting litmus test for theology. He says that the only true theology is practical theology. To show this, he gives us four points of application for Christian theology. This episode is full of helpful considerations for our personal lives- so I hope you find it to be an important aid to your Christian life!Support the show

The summertime is tough for disciplined Bible readers. With vacations and breaks from our normal routine, our Bibles and reading consistency can quickly go down the drain. So what should we do? How can we make the most of this natural break during the summer months? My advice is to pick one book of the Bible to focus on. Focus on quality over quantity. When the Fall comes around, you'll be glad that you took a tough situation and turned it into something memorable for your Bible reading! Here's why I'm choosing the gospel of John and why you should too!Support the show

From Theoretical-Practical Theology Volume 1, pages 80-86Natural theology needs some ground rules. We can either embrace it too much and start having a low opinion of the Bible's value. Or we can reject natural theology of any value, but this makes us deny what the Bible says about God revealing Himself in nature, such as Psalm 19 and Romans 1. What are some careful ground rules for us to follow? Peter van Mastricht shares 4 questions for us to answer, which serve as a litmus test for our view of natural theology. Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/betterbiblereading)

There's a ton of Christian literature available today, but how much of it is actually helpful? We can't possible read all the good material, and there's probably more bad than good on the market, which makes things even more complicated. But what does the Bible actually say about reading Christian books? While there's no way to deal with every example of doctrinal disagreement or scandals that discredit authors, there are some helpful ways to decide who to read and who to avoid. And to do that, we'll  look at a very important passage from the book of Hebrews. Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/betterbiblereading)

From Theoretical-Practical Theology Volume 1, pages 73-80Is theology a biblical term? What can we learn about God outside the Bible? How does Scripture relate to reason?

How difficult is it to read the entire New Testament in a month? Actually, it's much easier than trying to read the entire Bible in a year. We're a quarter of the way through the year, and that means that many of us are currently struggling with how badly we have failed in our Bible reading plans for 2022. In fact, you might be so far behind in your reading that you see no possibility of catching up. But there's still plenty of time left in the year, so what should you do? Annual Bible reading plans are marathons. They require you to follow a routine for 365 days. That's easier said than done. Monthly reading plans are sprints. You only have to discipline yourself for 30 days. So let's take advantage of sprints this upcoming month and find a way to achieve a great goal: Reading the New Testament in 1 month! Easy? No. Possible? Absolutely. Here's how to do it and why you need this as your recovery from failed reading plans. Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/betterbiblereading)

Some people are bothered by the idea of systematic theology because they're afraid that this puts God in a box. But is this true? Today we'll talk about why the Bible commands us to have a certain method of theology, and how this protects, rather than limits, our understanding of who God is. To do this, we'll look at the biblical method of theology, which Peter van Mastricht describes as the connection between theory and practice, or to say it another way, the theoretical-practical.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/betterbiblereading)

After a couple of weeks off, we're back! Meditation is a tricky word because it means different things for different people. It could have one meaning for an atheist, another for an exercise enthusiast, and another for a Christian. But for Christians and Bible readers, what exactly is meditation? Today we'll talk about meditation according to the Bible, and how it is fundamentally different from the popularized use of the word today. Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/betterbiblereading)

From Theoretical-Practical Theology Volume 1, pages 63-66What exactly is systematic theology? Is it wrong to create a system of theology?

New Christians and Bible readers trying a new reading plan often wrestle with the question: what book of the Bible should I start with?

It's February, the time of year when Bible reading plans tend to go out the window, stress amplifies, and our weeks start to get very busy. Worst of all, our guilt or our shortcomings so far this year make the prospect of Bible reading seem altogether overwhelming. It shouldn't be this way, but ignoring the problem or downplaying it won't help us get anywhere. Instead, we need to face these problems head-on. But first, we have to identify where the overwhelm is coming from. Here are four sources, and how to deal with them in constructive ways!Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/betterbiblereading)

From Theoretical-Practical Theology Volume 1, pages 12-28Today in our study, Peter van Mastricht takes us through some helpful ways to use any text of scripture as a teaching method. He offers six uses of the Bible for the head and the heart. We'll look at the Bible doctrine as the "truth" of scripture and bible practice as the "goodness" of that truth put into action. This episode is a great example of how the Bible is important for preaching in a corporate setting, and study in an individual setting.You can grab your copy of Theoretical-Practical Theology Volume 1 here: (affiliate link)https://www.christianbook.com/theoretical-practical-theology-volume-1-prolegomena/petrus-van-mastricht/9781601785596/pd/785596?event=AFF&p=1220145Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/betterbiblereading)

From Theoretical-Practical Theology Volume 1, pages 7-11.Did the Sermon Preach the Text? Peter van Mastricht wants to encourage pastors to make sure that their sermons stay focused on the sermon text. The way to do this is by maintaining a careful balance in the way the sermon is presented. But this also means that those listening to sermons should appreciate the difficult balance of rightly dividing the Word while preaching the whole counsel of God. This episode will encourage listeners to encourage their pastors, as they deal carefully with the sermon text.   How many sermons are guilty of drifting further and further away from the text as they go on? A sermon can be biblical without relating to the sermon text whatsoever. We can call these 'biblical tangents', something many pastors are guilty of.
