What Is the Gospel?

Uncovering the Good News of the G-d of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob

Christians often speak of "the gospel" but usually have only a vague notion of what it is.

I should know.  I was one of them. 

Uncomfortable with my lack of knowledge, I set out to find answers and documented the journey in my first book, "What Is the Gospel?"

Work In Progress

Enjoying the challenge of writing a book, I've started two others:

• The Kingdom of G-d
• The Holiness Code

I've also begun work on a 15-volume "One Messianic Gentile" anthology of previously published Bible studies, commentary, and topical studies.

OneMessianicGentile.com is a collection of online resources freely available to everyone without charge and without ads.  I rely upon the generous financial donations of my supporters to sustain and expand these resources.  The Psalm 119 Foundation is the nonprofit organization established to provide oversight and financial administration for this work.
Please consider donating to support this work.

Also, contact me if you would like to provide support by volunteering or assisting with translating any of our resources into other languages!

Like many high-school-aged children, I took a vocational aptitude test that asked, "What would you like to be when you grow up?"  The page had multiple columns of possible career choices: firefighter, lawyer, metal worker, electrician, etc.  Everything you could possibly imagine.  I vividly remember my reaction upon seeing the option of "teacher.":

"Wow.  That would be the last thing I would ever want to do."

There are innumerable books published about every topic imaginable concerning the Bible.  In the world of data, books and other similar documents (including videos, magazine or news articles, emails, tweets, and text messages) are known as "unstructured data".  Computers generally have a hard time understanding or analyzing unstructured data.  "Structured data", on the other hand, is defined in a way that computers can easily use.  Think of structured data as information organized in a spreadsheet with specific kinds of information available in defined columns.  (E.g., all birth dates are in a "birth date" column, and all of the first names are in a "first name" column, etc.)

As I began writing my second book, I needed some data from the Bible, but I was surprised to find that almost none of the information contained in the Scriptures was available as machine-readable "structured data".  I couldn't do the analysis because the data just wasn't available.  

Having reached "middle age", instead of having the cliche "mid-life crisis", I'd discovered a "mid-life passion": researching the information contained in the Bible and making it available to others as structured data for their studies and projects.

Beginning in 2007 with a single website, my work grew into dozens of separate internet domains.  Each of them was focused on a targeted audience and a particular concept.  In 2021, I shifted from expanding to consolidating and integrating my existing content into place: OneMessianicGentile.com.  This is the history of my websites and the services they provide.  This has been made possible by generous donations and support from my readers.

Thank you for partnering with me in this work!

Ephesians 2:8 is an oft-quoted verse, but we should be mindful that, while we are saved by grace through faith, that faith should not be misplaced.  I've published this statement of faith to shed light on what I believe.  I recognize that this may raise more questions than it answers.  I welcome your questions, insights, and other thoughts about this statement.

Special thanks go to Pastor Sean Dalgety of "Gentiles for Torah" in Fort Beaufort, South Africa, for his encouragement and guidance in documenting these core beliefs.  He is a blessing from G-d.  Thank you, sir! :) 

Finding trustworthy information online is an enormous challenge.  Entire websites are dedicated to fact-checking information that gets shared, tweeted, or published online.  When everyone with an internet connection can create content without any accountability, knowing who is writing and publishing what you are reading is critical.

• "Is this person honest and honorable?"
• "Does the author know what he's talking about?"
• "Can I trust the information I find on this site?"

This page seeks to answer these and other questions about the primary author behind OneMessianicGentile.com, Brady Stephenson.

The Psalm 119 Foundation is a non-profit educational organization dedicated to promoting the standards of holy living found in Scripture. The board of directors established the organization in 2012 on their commitment to providing clear and compelling teaching of the Bible—our objective: echo G-d's call to holy living.

The Foundation focuses on delivering teaching, commentary, and other resources via the One Messianic Gentile website.

In addition to serving students, the Foundation also supports the needs of teachers, pastors, rabbis, and others in delivering Bible studies in a systematic and detailed manner.
