STUDY TOOLS

I make no apologies when I say the King James Bible is the infallible, inspired, and inerrant Word of God. Cover to cover, front to back, it is exactly what the Lord intended us to have—every jot, every tittle, divinely placed. Not one word extra, not one word missing. You can call that bold, but I call it faith.

The beauty of His written Word is that it’s not just a book—it’s divine. It breathes, it teaches, it corrects, and it reveals. And here’s the thing: no matter how many times you’ve read it, there’s always something new waiting for you. Jesus has this way of packing more truth into a single phrase than most men could write in a library. But if we’re honest, things can and do slip past our human comprehension. That’s why it pays to come back again and again, digging deeper.

That’s also why I don’t shy away from using study tools. My mind needs all the sharpening it can get. Good tools don’t replace the Word; they help me see it clearer, hear it louder, and apply it stronger. These are the things that have opened my eyes to revelation after revelation, lighting me up with fresh understanding time and time again.

Below, you’ll find a list of the resources I lean on the most—tools I trust, tools I’ve tested, and tools that have helped me grow. Not just in knowledge about the Word, but in faith through the Word.

Take them, use them, and see what the Holy Spirit shows you. My prayer is that they bless you the same way they’ve blessed me—again and again and again.

Study Tools

King James Pure Bible Search

Let me put you on to one of the sharpest weapons in the Bible study arsenal: the King James Pure Bible Search program. It’s free, it’s powerful, and it has been used time and time again to showcase just how divine and supernatural God’s Word really is.

Here’s just one example: this program reveals that the 666th mention of the name “Jesus” in the Bible isn’t Jesus Christ at all—it’s Bar-Jesus, the sorcerer. That’s not coincidence, that’s providence. And it’s this same tool that shows us the name “Jesus” appears exactly 980 times in the KJV. Now, if you’re paying attention, that number isn’t random either—980 equals 70 × 7 + 70 × 7. And who was it that told us to forgive seventy times seven? None other than Jesus Himself.

This is the kind of depth the Bible holds—patterns stacked on top of patterns, layers of meaning that man couldn’t orchestrate if he tried for a thousand lifetimes. And the best part? With this tool, you don’t just have to take someone else’s word for it—you can see it for yourself.

So if you’re serious about studying the Word, don’t walk past this. The King James Pure Bible Search program is one of the greatest free assets you could ever add to your study life. Click the icon, grab it, and see for yourself what the Lord has hidden in plain sight.

Blue Letter Bible

When it comes to my personal Bible study, the Blue Letter Bible is hands-down my biggest go-to. I lean on it constantly. Why? Because it’s loaded with just about everything a serious student of the Word could ever want: word searches, Hebrew and Greek lexicons, concordances, cross-references, Bible version comparisons—you name it. And here’s the kicker: it’s all completely free.

Now, if you’ve been following me for any length of time, you already know where I stand on footnotes. I don’t trust them, I don’t use them, and I’ll tell you the same—ignore them. But don’t let that fool you into thinking this app isn’t pure gold. Even without leaning on the footnotes, this tool is a powerhouse.

Personally, I wear out its bookmarks, copy-paste, and private note-taking features more than I’d like to admit. It’s like my secret study stash that’s always within reach. Whether you’re at your desk on the website or on the go with the mobile app, it’s a complete game-changer for digging into God’s Word.

So here’s my challenge to you: click the icon, download it, and see for yourself why this free resource has become one of my most trusted study companions. Once you start using it, you’ll wonder how you ever studied without it.

First Mention Bible

One of the most powerful study principles I’ve ever come across is the Law of First Mention. In simple terms, it says this: the very first time a word, concept, or doctrine shows up in Scripture, God is setting the stage. That first mention establishes its core meaning, and from then on, every other use in the Bible echoes back to that foundation. It’s like God drops the blueprint early, and if you miss it, you’ll miss the pattern He’s weaving through the rest of His Word.

And let me tell you—there’s something incredible about seeing where a word first pops up in the Bible. But you know what’s even more mind-blowing? When you find a word that shows up only once in the entire Book. One word, one placement, one divine fingerprint that shouts louder than a thousand commentaries. That’s not accident, that’s design.

The First Mention Bible has pushed me into Hebrew and Greek studies in ways I never would’ve considered otherwise. I’ve chased down words I used to skip right past, and in doing so, the Lord has opened up depths of revelation I didn’t even know were there. Hidden mysteries. Divine patterns. God’s wisdom—etched in His written Word for anyone willing to dig.

Now, full disclosure: I can’t personally endorse the author himself. I haven’t followed his ministry, so I won’t pretend to know his teachings beyond this book. But I can say this much—this book is straight-up gold. It’s worth every penny.

Excel Spreadsheet: Every Word and it's usage in the KJV

Let me hand you a tool that most people have never considered, but once you see what it can do, you’ll wonder how you ever studied without it. I’m talking about a free Excel spreadsheet that just might be one of the greatest study resources I’ve ever come across—and now I get to share it with you.

Here’s the beauty of it: if you know how to hit two buttons in Excel, you already have all the “tech skills” you need. That’s it. No coding, no training, no steep learning curve. Just a couple keystrokes, and suddenly the Bible starts opening itself up in ways you probably never imagined possible.

This spreadsheet doesn’t play around—it lists every single word in the King James Bible. Not only that, but it breaks down exactly how many times each word is used overall, how often it shows up in the Old Testament versus the New Testament, and even how frequently it appears in each individual book. It’s like having the entire concordance, cross-references, and word study library sitting right in one file on your computer.

Personally, I lean on this treasure trove constantly. It helps me craft messages, chase down themes, and even fuels the writing of my own book. Time and time again, it’s given me insights that would’ve taken hours to find otherwise—if I could’ve found them at all.

So don’t sleep on this. A simple Excel file—free and easy to use—can completely change how you see God’s Word. Grab it, search it, and let the revelations hit you the way they’ve hit me.
