Scripture Translations
Throughout this website, Scripture is the foundation for our teaching, doctrinal statements, and theological studies.
The English Standard Version (ESV) is our primary Bible translation. Other translations, including the Legacy Standard Bible (LSB) and New International Version (NIV), may be used when appropriate for study or comparison.
We identify the translation used when quoting Scripture and acknowledge the rights of the respective publishers.

Use of Scripture in These Studies
Our purpose in quoting Scripture is to help readers examine biblical teaching directly and understand each passage in its proper context.
Scripture quotations are presented for teaching, study, and discussion. The explanatory material represents the author’s understanding of the biblical text and should always be examined against Scripture itself.
The inclusion of a Bible translation does not imply that its publisher endorses the interpretations or conclusions presented on this website.
