About the Publication

A Quiet Room Where Scripture Speaks Plainly

Live In Jesus Name is an independent Christian teaching publication built to help believers move from familiar Bible phrases into clear spiritual understanding, settled identity in Christ, and faithful everyday conduct.

Why Live In Jesus Name Exists

Across the modern church, believers do not suffer from a shortage of religious noise; they suffer from a shortage of unhurried biblical clarity. Many love Jesus sincerely yet still carry quiet confusion about what happened at the New Birth, how grace and holiness fit together, and what it means to pray and live in Jesus’ Name between Sunday mornings.

Live In Jesus Name was founded to serve that exact need. Rather than publishing breathless commentary on passing controversies, we publish structured, long-form Scripture teachings organized into twelve monthly arcs across a 365-topic curriculum — so any reader, anywhere in the world, can study the New Testament’s core doctrines cleanly and systematically at no cost.

Our studies are written and edited under the oversight of Ellis Graham, Editor-in-Chief & Resident Bible Teacher. Live In Jesus Name is an original editorial teaching desk: we do not impersonate any living preacher or ministry, nor do we reprint or paraphrase third-party devotionals. Every exposition, illustration, weekday application, and closing confession is written fresh from the biblical text.

How Every Teaching Is Built

Every article on this site must satisfy an eighteen-point editorial audit before publication and follows an eight-step Scripture chain:

  1. Anchor in the written text: Open with a full Scripture quotation and labeled translation.
  2. Examine key words: Define biblical vocabulary plainly on first use without hiding behind jargon.
  3. Confirm across books: Establish every central claim from at least three cross-references across Scripture.
  4. Contrast truth and misconception: Distinguish gospel reality from both legalism and carelessness.
  5. Bridge with everyday life: Illustrate spiritual principles clearly, then explain the principle directly.
  6. Translate into Monday morning: Show what the doctrine looks like in speech, family, work, integrity, and stewardship.
  7. Honour responsible wisdom: Affirm plainly that biblical faith works alongside diligence, honesty, and sound medical or professional care.
  8. Respond in faith: Close with a Scripture-anchored confession and passages for personal verification, like the Bereans in Acts 17:11.

Our Commitment to Doctrinal Honesty

Where godly, Bible-honouring Christians have historically read a difficult verse with different nuances, we state our conviction clearly while acknowledging the conversation respectfully — without caricaturing fellow believers and without making reckless personal outcome guarantees that Scripture itself does not make.
