About This Site

Statement of Faith

Trusting in Jesus Christ as our Savior, we believe in:

The Bible as the inspired Word of God
The Deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, God’s Son
The vicarious death of Jesus Christ for our sins, His bodily resurrection, and His personal return
The presence and power of the Holy Spirit in the work of regeneration.

About LampLight.Guide

Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.

Psalm 119:105 (ESV)

LampLight.Guide is a free, Scripture-centered platform for publishing and engaging with weekly Bible studies and with essays on the Bible and the Christian life. It is built on the conviction that the Bible is the living word of God — breathed out by Him, and profitable for every dimension of the Christian life:

All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.

2 Timothy 3:16–17 (ESV)

This site exists to help believers do exactly what Paul urged Timothy to do, come to the text with care, humility, and diligence:

Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.

2 Timothy 2:15 (ESV)

All Scripture on this site is quoted from the English Standard Version (ESV) unless otherwise noted.

How It Works

LampLight.Guide publishes two different kinds of thing, and they work differently.

Bible studies are structured reading plans, organized into sections, weeks, and daily readings. You work through a study a day at a time, and the site remembers where you are and what you have written.

Essays are individual articles on Scripture, theology, and the Christian life. Each one can be read on its own. Many also belong to a collection, a set of related essays meant to be read in order. Essays live on the Essays page.

Everything you do on this site — notes, journal entries, progress, settings — is stored only on your device using your browser’s local storage. Nothing is saved by the LampLight.Guide server.
