Welcome to my blog! My name is Brother Woody Brohm. I’m blessed to be married, the father of two wonderful daughters, and the grandfather of five incredible grandchildren. As the son of a pastor, I’ve had the joy of knowing Christ for most of my life. Though I haven’t pursued seminary or pastoral ministry as a vocation, I’ve been privileged to teach in churches and serve as a missionary at various times. My heart’s desire is to follow Jesus Christ faithfully, and I affirm the truth of salvation by grace alone. This blog is a reflection of my passion for studying Scripture and sharing the truths I’ve discovered. May it serve to encourage and equip you as we grow together in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
The New Testament anchors church life in Christ’s lordship, the apostles’ teaching, the Spirit’s power, and shared life together. Returning to those foundations restores simple, joyful, Scripture-shaped worship and mission.
Nicodemus, a Pharisee and member of the Sanhedrin, exemplifies the journey from cautious curiosity to courageous faith. His interactions with Jesus highlight the transformative power of Christ’s message, culminating in a public act of devotion after the crucifixion.
The genealogies of Christ in Matthew and Luke reveal God’s sovereign plan to fulfill His covenantal promises through Jesus, the legal and biological heir to David’s throne. These lineages highlight the miraculous virgin birth, avoiding the curse of Jeconiah, and affirm Jesus as both the Savior of humanity and the rightful King of Israel.
The Samaritan woman’s encounter with Jesus at the well demonstrates His power to redeem and transform, breaking through cultural and social barriers to offer eternal life. Her story reminds us of the universal reach of the gospel and the call to worship God in spirit and truth.
The canon of Scripture was not created by the Church but recognized through divine inspiration. Discover how the 66 books were confirmed and why they still stand today.
The Jerusalem Council affirmed that salvation is by grace through faith, not by adherence to the Mosaic Law or cultural customs. This pivotal decision ensured the unity of the early Church and set a timeless precedent for resolving doctrinal disputes.
Psalm 119 is a profound declaration of love for God’s Word, celebrating its power to guide, comfort, and transform. Its timeless truths invite readers to treasure Scripture as their ultimate source of wisdom and strength.
Malachi, the final prophetic voice of the Old Testament, delivered a powerful message of covenantal faithfulness and hope during a time of spiritual apathy. His ministry bridged the gap between God’s promises to Israel and their fulfillment in the coming Messiah.
Tychicus, though not as well-known as Paul or the apostles, played an indispensable role in the early Church, delivering letters, strengthening believers, and serving faithfully behind the scenes. His dedication exemplifies the beauty of steadfast support in ministry.
The Dispensation of Promise highlights God’s faithfulness through Jacob’s descendants, who became the twelve tribes of Israel. This period demonstrates how God’s promises to Abraham began to unfold, even amidst trials and transitions.
The Nazarite vow was a powerful expression of devotion and separation unto God, symbolizing a life wholly consecrated to Him. Though no longer practiced today, its principles of holiness and dedication are fulfilled in the believer’s spiritual consecration through Christ.
In his book On the Reliability of the Old Testament, Kenneth A. Kitchen provides a scholarly defense of the historicity of Scripture, challenging the minimalist perspective with evidence from archaeology and ancient inscriptions. Ultimately, the Old Testament’s reliability is affirmed by Jesus Christ Himself, who validated its accounts of creation, Jonah, Isaiah, and prophecies fulfilled in His own life.
The Bible’s descriptions of God “changing His mind” are expressions of His relational nature, helping us understand His interactions with humanity within the framework of His eternal and unchanging purposes. Far from being a contradiction, these passages reveal the consistency of God’s character, demonstrating His justice, mercy, and perfect foreknowledge.
While pets bring comfort and companionship in this life, the Bible makes it clear that heaven is a place of unimaginable joy and fulfillment centered on Christ, not the continuation of earthly relationships. Believers can find hope in the promise of a new creation, free from sorrow and loss, where God’s glory will satisfy every need.
Tamar, a Canaanite woman and daughter-in-law of Judah, played a pivotal role in the lineage of Israel through her determination to fulfill her duty despite difficult circumstances. Her story, recounted in Genesis 38, demonstrates themes of justice, redemption, and God’s sovereign ability to bring forth His purposes through unexpected individuals.
