Editorial Policy
Our standards for biblical faithfulness, clarity, accuracy and responsible digital publishing.
Jesus Bible Foundation LLC publishes Bible verse explanations, devotional reflections, prayers, Bible-study material and related Christian resources through its websites, publications and digital platforms. This Editorial Policy describes the standards we aim to follow when planning, researching, writing, reviewing, correcting and updating our content.
Jesus Bible Foundation LLC is located at 75 E 3rd St, Sheridan, WY 82801, USA.
1. Scripture Is the Primary Source
Bible articles begin with the biblical text. We seek to explain a verse within its immediate passage, the wider biblical book and the Bible’s broader message. We avoid treating an isolated sentence as though its literary, historical and theological context does not matter.
Where appropriate, readers are encouraged to read the surrounding verses, chapter and book to understand the passage more fully.
2. Translation Identification
We identify the Bible translation used and provide attribution or copyright information where required. Because translations may differ in wording, style and translation philosophy, readers are encouraged to compare translations and read the complete passage in context.
Bible translations remain the property of their respective publishers or rights holders where applicable.
3. Context Before Application
We seek to distinguish between what a passage communicated in its original literary, historical and canonical setting and how its principles may responsibly be applied today.
Application should grow from the biblical text rather than replace, override or distort its original meaning.
4. Theological Approach
Our content is written from a Christian perspective centred on Jesus Christ, the gospel and the authority of Scripture. We aim to focus on clear biblical teaching while recognising that faithful Christians may sometimes differ in their interpretation of particular passages or theological questions.
We seek to avoid presenting disputed interpretations as though no other responsible Christian view exists.
Where a matter is uncertain, debated or not fully explained in Scripture, we aim to acknowledge that uncertainty rather than present speculation with unwarranted confidence.
5. Sources and Verification
Depending on the article or publication, writers and editors may consult:
- The biblical text in one or more translations;
- Bible dictionaries, lexicons, concordances and atlases;
- Scholarly and pastoral commentaries;
- Historical, archaeological and cultural reference works;
- Official documents and primary-source material where appropriate;
- Reputable academic, educational and professional reference sources.
Current legal, medical, financial, scientific, historical or technical claims should be checked against appropriate authoritative or reliable sources when such information is included.
6. Writing Standards
We aim for content that is:
- Biblically grounded;
- Contextually responsible;
- Clear and readable;
- Respectful and pastoral in tone;
- Original rather than copied or improperly reproduced;
- Useful for reflection, Bible study and daily Christian living;
- Accurate to the best of our reasonable editorial ability;
- Free from unnecessary sensationalism, manipulation and misleading claims.
7. Devotional Content
Devotional reflections, prayers, applications and encouragements are written to help readers reflect on Scripture and grow in faith.
They are not additional Scripture, divine revelation or a replacement for the biblical text and should not be treated as equal in authority to Scripture.
8. Technology-Assisted Work
Digital research tools, spelling and grammar tools, formatting software, publishing platforms, search tools and technology-assisted drafting or editing may be used during the production process.
Where artificial-intelligence or other automated tools assist with research, drafting, editing, formatting or production, their output may be reviewed, revised, checked and approved under the editorial responsibility of Jesus Bible Foundation LLC before publication.
Technology-assisted output should not replace appropriate editorial judgement, biblical verification or responsible human review.
9. Health, Legal, Financial and Other Professional Topics
When an article touches on health, mental health, law, finance, taxation, safety, counselling or another professional field, that material is provided for general informational or educational purposes unless expressly stated otherwise.
Such content should not be presented as personalised professional advice. Readers should seek appropriately qualified professional assistance when their circumstances require it.
10. Images, Audio, Video and Social Media
Bible verse images, videos, audio, social-media posts and other visual or multimedia material may support or promote the written content but do not replace the article’s biblical explanation or the underlying Scripture passage.
We aim to use accurate Bible references, appropriate translation identification, descriptive image text where relevant and links to official Jesus Bible Foundation content or appropriate third-party sources.
Third-party photographs, videos, music, embeds and other media remain subject to the rights, licences and terms of their respective owners or platforms.
11. Advertising, Sponsorship and Affiliate Links
Editorial judgement should remain independent of advertisers, sponsors and commercial partners.
Sponsored, affiliate, promotional or other material relationships should be identified where required or appropriate. Payment, commissions, free products or other commercial relationships do not guarantee favourable editorial coverage.
12. Corrections
We welcome good-faith correction requests concerning factual errors, incorrect Bible references, attribution problems, translation identification, broken links or other material issues.
Material errors may be corrected directly in an article. Where a correction or revision substantially changes the meaning, interpretation or factual content of a page, we may add an update note, correction notice or revised publication date where appropriate.
To report an error, email info@jesusbiblefoundation.com and, where possible, include:
- The title of the page or article;
- The page URL;
- The text or information you believe is incorrect;
- A brief explanation of the concern;
- Supporting evidence or a reliable source where relevant.
13. Updating and Archiving
Timeless Bible explanations and devotional material may remain online without frequent revision. However, links, legal notices, copyright information, translation details, external references and time-sensitive factual claims may be reviewed and updated when necessary.
Outdated, duplicated or substantially revised pages may be updated, redirected, consolidated or archived when appropriate.
14. Conflicts of Interest
Authors, editors and contributors should disclose financial, organisational or personal interests that could materially affect the fairness, independence or credibility of published content.
Where a significant conflict exists, Jesus Bible Foundation LLC may disclose the relationship, assign the content to another reviewer or take another appropriate editorial measure.
15. Originality, Copyright and Attribution
We aim to publish original work and to respect the intellectual-property rights of authors, publishers, photographers, translators, organisations and other rights holders.
Quotations and third-party material should be attributed and used in accordance with applicable copyright law, licence terms and permissions requirements.
If you believe material published by Jesus Bible Foundation infringes your copyright or other intellectual-property rights, please contact us at info@jesusbiblefoundation.com with sufficient information for us to review the matter.
16. Reader Responsibility
Readers are encouraged to examine Scripture carefully, read passages in context, compare responsible sources and seek wise pastoral or professional help where appropriate.
Our articles and devotional resources are intended to support Bible engagement and Christian growth. They do not replace personal Bible study, prayer, participation in Christian community, pastoral care or responsible professional counsel.
17. Editorial Independence
Jesus Bible Foundation LLC retains editorial control over the content it publishes. We may decide whether to publish, revise, correct, expand, remove or decline proposed content based on biblical, editorial, legal, technical or publishing considerations.
External requests, commercial relationships or disagreement with an article do not automatically require us to alter editorial conclusions, although substantiated factual or legal concerns will be reviewed in good faith.
18. Changes to This Editorial Policy
We may update this Editorial Policy when our publishing methods, technology, editorial standards, services or legal obligations change.
Any revised version will be posted on this page with an updated last-revised date.
