Verse of the day
About these teachings
Every day has a passage, and every passage has a teaching — around 900 words on what the text says and how the church has read it.
Where they come from
These are not opinion pieces. Each one is built from commentaries that have sat on pastors' shelves for two centuries:
- Matthew Henry — Exposition of the Old and New Testaments
- John Gill — Exposition of the Whole Bible
- Adam Clarke — Commentary on the Bible
- Albert Barnes — Notes on the Bible
- Charles Spurgeon — The Treasury of David (the Psalms), and Morning and Evening
- The Jamieson-Fausset-Brown commentary
- The Geneva Bible notes (1599)
- B. W. Johnson — The People's New Testament
Every page lists the commentators its teaching drew on, so you can look them up and hold what we say against the source.
How they are made
A teaching starts by gathering what those commentators actually wrote on that verse — not a summary of them, the notes themselves. It is drafted from that material and checked line by line against the passage.
What they are not
They are not a substitute for reading Scripture, and they are not the last word on any passage. They are what careful readers before us made of it, gathered in one place, so you can weigh it against the text yourself.
Weigh it yourself
The sources are named for exactly that. If a line does not match what you find there, tell us: support@thnkgod.app.
