THE ABIDIBLE BLOG

The 3–2–1 Context Method is a simple way to see what’s happening before and after a passage of Scripture. In just a few minutes, you’ll identify the scene, the story, and the big-picture sense of each section. This quick overview helps you understand the flow of God’s Word without getting bogged down in details.

So you’ve said “yes” to leading an Abidible small group—now what? In this post, you’ll find everything you need: why we lead, how to choose a study, what your first two meetings should look like, and even word-for-word prompts to use. You’ll discover that leading isn’t about perfection but about faithfully pointing people to Jesus.

Have you ever wished Scripture would just stick the way a song lyric does? That’s the heart behind the first step of the Abidible Method: saturation. It’s about surrounding yourself with God’s Word until it becomes part of your daily rhythms—on cards, mirrors, windows, even kitchen counters.

I just got the final pathology report from my surgery, and my doctor emphasized how extremely sick I really was. For years I lived with pain, exhaustion, and brain fog without realizing the depth of it. But today I get to share the full story of what they found—and how the Lord has carried me through to healing.

Have you ever felt like you’ve been away from God’s Word too long to come back? Like the prodigal son, we imagine we need the perfect plan, the right words, or at least an apology speech — but the Father welcomes us before we even finish our prepared "speech." This post is an invitation to drop the plan, accept His embrace, and start fresh in His Word today.

Feel overwhelmed by a big Bible and no idea what to do next? The Abidible Method gives you a clear, four–step path you can follow every time. No spoon-feeding, no guesswork—just real tools to help you know and love God more.

If we have houses built on the Rock, the very floods that used to destroy us actually drive us deeper into Him. Not only do we grow more secure and firm, but we actually become indestructible because of His power at work in us. I don't know about you, but that really appeals to me. Especially because I know that the storms of life are inevitable.

Theology isn’t for scholars only — it’s for all of us. The question isn’t whether you have theology. You do. The question is whether it’s good theology or bad theology. The antidote to bad theology isn’t clever arguments or new philosophies. It’s simply more of God’s Word.

This season has sucked. It's been long and so, so painful. I am so tired that saying how tired I am makes me cry. I know that I'm going to be crawling across the "finish line" on surgery day. Barely making it.And yet, somehow thriving. I'll tell you how. My God. I have gotten to know things about Him.

To grasp the significance of the words Paul penned to the Corinthians in our "Jars of Clay" study, you need to understand context! This resource-rich blog post is filled with personal testimony, photos, maps, and history to help you do just that!

You're ready to take Bible study seriously, and you want to choose a good Bible to help you as you go. Is "good Bible" an appropriate term to use? We think so. Here's why.

Whether you're brand new to reading the Bible or have been reading it for five decades, we are all in the same boat. Studying is a life-long pursuit for all of us, and we want to come alongside you as you learn to abide.

Bible commentaries are helpful tools that further explain and interpret Scripture for us. We recommend only going to commentaries after doing some digging yourself.

I used to only note cross references in my actual studies. Now I've started marking them in my Bible as well. Here's how I do it and why you should consider marking your Bible with cross references too! 

The purpose of annotating is to help you slow down and make some of your own observations about a passage.These skills may not come naturally at first, but we'd encourage you to stick with it. It is so rewarding.
