At World Bible School, we are always thrilled to hear about the success stories of our Students who have dedicated themselves to studying the Word of God. We are particularly excited to share the recent news of Donna Lacombe, one of our Students who was baptized on Valentine’s Day.
Donna, who hails from Louisiana, had been temporarily working in Nebraska. After studying “Born of Water and Spirit,” she learned the necessity of being baptized to wash away her sin. Yet, being away from home, she considered waiting until after she could return to Louisiana to be baptized. With the help of her Study Helper, Sean Prather, who also became her Follow-up Partner, Donna was able to connect with a church of Christ near her temporary work placement to be baptized.
The church wasted no time in welcoming Donna, and on Valentine’s Day, she was baptized in Christ. As she emerged from the water, Donna couldn’t help but smile, knowing that she now was saved by God’s grace.
Donna’s story is a testament to the power of God and the importance of baptism, no matter where you are. Even in difficult circumstances, God can work through people and situations to bring us closer to Him. We are proud of Donna and all of our students who have taken the time to study and learn about the Bible, and we look forward to hearing more success stories like hers in the future.
At World Bible School, we believe that every person deserves the opportunity to learn about God’s word and the grace that He offers. Through our online courses and Study Helpers, we provide a welcoming and supportive environment for students to learn and grow. Whether you are a seasoned Bible scholar or just beginning your journey, we welcome you to join us and discover the beauty and truth of the Bible for yourself.

This episode of One More Chapter continues the series on Bible study principles for bridging the gap between a passage’s original meaning and its application today. Hosts Brian Rex Davis, Noah Davis, and Bryson Davis review “purpose” and “principle,” then focus on “precedent”, emphasizing how approved apostolic examples establish binding patterns when they carry theological significance—while incidental details do not.
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.
