"Because of the Lord’s faithful love we do not perish, for his mercies never end. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness!" Lamentations 3:22-23 CSB

I kept seeing these ads for doomscrolling the Bible so I decided to check it out. The app is called Scroll the Bible and it’s really cool, though I wouldn’t say it’s “doomscrolling”. That word makes me think of memes, videos, and articles. Here they break down each verse with Biblical meaning, historical context, original language, life in Biblical times, theological significance, maybe a cool “did you know”, cross references, and finally an application.

Just a sample:
Historical Context
“Jerusalem had been destroyed by Babylon in 586 BC. The temple was burned, the walls were demolished, and thousands were killed or enslaved. Lamentations is Jeremiah's funeral song over the city. These verses shine like diamonds against the darkest possible backdrop — proof that hope survives even total devastation.”

Original Language
The Hebrew 'chesed' (mercies) is God's covenant lovingkindness — loyal love that persists despite unfaithfulness. 'Rachamim' (compassions) shares its root with 'rechem' (womb) — it is the gut-level, maternal tenderness of God. These are not cold attributes but passionate, nurturing love.

Theological Significance
This passage establishes that God's mercy is not retrospective — it is proactive and perpetual. Each morning brings a fresh supply. Yesterday's failures are not held against you in today's allotment of grace. God's faithfulness is the constant beneath every variable of life.

Jesus' grace is sufficient, for His power is made perfect in weakne...

It’s heartbreaking when someone you love and pray for keeps God at arm's length or refuses to commit. Whether they just want the perks of a good community like Felix or say "almost" like Agrippa, our calling remains the same: keep loving, keep ministering, and keep leaning in. God promises in Isaiah 55:11 that His Word never returns empty, and your faithful investment in others is building a legacy that lasts. You don't have to navigate these heavy seasons alone—come lean in with a church family that gets it. See you Sunday morning at 10 AM right here in Kaufman!

“In the beginning was God…”

This is where it all begins for anyone who puts their faith in the Truth of the Bible. If you can believe this; the rest is pretty easy to get on board with. We can believe in His promises, steadfast love, forgiveness, mercy, and that He is never-ending! We can believe he sent his son, Jesus. We can believe that Jesus died for our sins, was buried, rose again, and will be coming back again. In all these things, “I believe!”
