About

The writer here goes by the simple name William. The focus stays on the text and on Christ, not on a personal platform.

The gospel first moved along a real lake, under a real empire, not from a modern stage. The name of this work comes from Jeremiah 6:16: “Ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is; and walk in it.” Here that means reading the Bible the way its first hearers understood it.

This is a quiet place to read Scripture as one story, with Christ at the center. All you need is a Bible.

No photo, no last name, no spotlight. “We do not proclaim ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord” (2 Corinthians 4:5). The apostles were known by simple names. Paul was a tentmaker, and we know little else about him, yet what he wrote convinced many. The message matters more than the messenger.

In a world of influencer faith and endless church splits, this is a quiet call back to common ground: Christ and Scripture. We are not here to add another statement of beliefs or branded system to the pile.

Three phrases you'll see here:

Ancient paths: reading the Bible the way its first hearers understood it (Jeremiah 6:16).

Rush the shores: a call to the place where the gospel meets us, where the Messiah saves, God judges the unrighteous, and his people are delivered. Much of the gospel happened by the sea.

Our Heavens Declare: the patterns in Scripture and in the created world (Psalm 19:1).

What you'll find here:

Scripture read as one story, letting Scripture explain Scripture.

The Bible in its first-century and ancient world.

Plain, conversational writing you can read with just a Bible.

Small, daily reading you can begin at home.

Earlier writing, including the first three Our Heavens Declare issues and earlier Galilee Gazette issues, stays open in the archive: Good News From Galilee on Substack. Nothing new is added there.

The Bible is sufficient. Come with the Book open.

No spotlight. Just the ancient paths.
