HANANIAH
It is one of the most quoted promises in the Bible, and also one of the most mysterious: a peace that "surpasses all understanding."A peace that does not make sense. A calm that shows up where, by every reasonable measure, there should be panic. People have testified to it in...
HANANIAH
When someone you love dies, words mostly fail — your own, and other people's. What helps in grief is rarely an explanation. It is something quieter: a presence, a hope, a few true words you can hold.The Bible offers exactly that. The short comforting bible verses for death of a...
HANANIAH
It is a phrase you might hear in church and let slide right past — a gentle, churchy greeting. But when Jesus said "peace be with you," he was doing something far weightier than saying hello.The words peace be with you carry the whole weight of the Hebrew blessing shalom,...
HANANIAH

HANANIAH
There is a specific flavor of fear that hits right before something big — the interview, the diagnosis, the stage, the hard conversation.

HANANIAH
The word "peace" gets used so often it has almost lost its meaning. We use it for quiet rooms and quiet minds, for the end of arguments, for a vacation away from it all.The Bible means something deeper and sturdier. When Scripture speaks of peace, it is not describing the...
