Brian and Sondra Davis are greeted by a school studying World Bible School’s “Master Series” Bible correspondence courses using Ocean Bridge in Nigeria.
“As we go to school and we learn how to develop our minds and we learn how to care for our bodies, we also want to learn how to care for our spirits. As the first book in the Bible says, God created us with a spirit in His image and so that makes you very special young people. World Bible School, since 1973, has been providing free opportunities for students around the world to study the Bible by correspondence so that you can get to know God, so you can get to know why He created you, and you get to know how He created you to function and to thrive and to enjoy life and live for eternity. So the opportunity today will be a blessing to you, to your school, to your families, and to the nation of Nigeria.” -Brian Rex Davis

In this episode of One More Chapter, Brian Rex Davis, Noah Davis, and Bryson Davis continue their study of biblical “principle”, explaining how general teachings give inclusive guidance that can be applied in various ways, while specific commands are authoritative and must shape belief and practice.
This episode of One More Chapter continues the series on Bible study by introducing the idea of “principle” as a way to bridge what a passage originally meant and what it means today, after first stressing purpose and context. The team takes a long–but useful–detour into Bible translations and versions—covering textual preservation, the spectrum from word-for-word to paraphrase, group vs. single-translator work, Dead Sea Scrolls, and which editions they personally use (NASB 1995, ESV, NIV 1984, etc.). The discussion on ‘principle’ will continue in the next episode!
This episode explores how understanding the purpose behind a Bible passage helps bridge the gap between what it originally meant and how it should shape life today. Brian, Noah, and Bryson discuss how purpose protects against shallow, checklist-style interpretation and helps distinguish enduring principles and examples from incidental details.
Brian Rex Davis sits down with Sahadevudu Vanga of India, a fellow missionary since gospel meetings in 1995. They talk about World Bible School’s renewed work in India and the effort to put Telugu translations and advanced courses—especially The Kingdom of God—into digital form. The conversation also covers family ministry, cultural care in a changing India, and tools that serve the next generation of the church.
