HolyJot Bible Study Groups is designed to take the participant deep into God’s word. Did you know that Israel lost faith in God’s promise to give them the Land when their spies (chapter 13) reported that the Cannaanite cities were highly fortified with powerful armies? Their loss of faith forced them back into the heat of the desert to wonder for another 38 years!
There is an anti-gospel that runs through every false religion and every false heart: the gospel that says “can do” instead of “it is finished” by Jesus. We are saved solely by faith and not good deeds or works. Faith itself is a gift. Grace flows through the channel of faith, but the channel itself is a work of God. Faith isn't the ultimate good deed that saves us but it is the instrument by which we receive salvation. Salvation comes from Christ: faith recognizes who Jesus is and what He ...
The word itself, Deuteronomy, means “repeating the Law” and that is exactly what this Book of the Bible is all about. In chapters 1 through 10, this book details what God has already done for His people. By learning from the lessons of the past, this book emphasizes the need to study history so that mistakes are not repeated in the future. In this book, we are also reminded of having the Word of God top of mind. This naturally occurs from reading the Word continuously, discussing it, and ta...

Does reading the Bible feel daunting? With 66 books and over 1,200 chapters, anyone would feel overwhelmed. According to statistics, 1 in 8 (12%) of Christians admit they rarely or never read the Bible. While another study by Lifeway Research in 2016 purports that 1 in 5 (20%) Americans said they have read all the Bible at least once. At HolyJot, we’d like to believe the statistic by Lifeway Research in that 1 out of 5 people in America have read the Bible at least once front to back.

We know from this opening that God is the creator of the Heavens and Earth, which he made for a plan and purpose.
The pandemic brought chaos, illness, and death to our doorsteps at the beginning of 2020. It also brought along uncertainty, fear, and isolation for people everywhere in the world. Some turned to wreak havoc, spreading mindless rumors about apocalypse or Armageddon or just stocking up on toilet paper projecting the world's end. For many of us, the pandemic was a great way to assess our lives and work on ourselves for the better, myself included. I committed myself to becoming closer to my r...
“And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” - Matthew 28:18-20 ESV
It’s no secret that social media has changed the way we communicate and interact with one another. This is especially true among younger people, but changes in social interaction can be seen across every generation and demographic.
