As Christ's disciples, we always need to be in the learning mode. The Holy Spirit provides the insight and reception of knowledge from God's Word. We need to humble our hearts to realize that other Christians can have different views. This does not make them or us correct. But with good competition and clear presentation from the scriptures, we hope that some of our prejudices, misunderstandings and ignorance will fade away as we let the Lord speak through His inerrant Word.
Both truth and grace must fill our hearts, minds and lifestyle if it is to bring glory to God. We are as concerned with applying God's truth as much as in possessing a knowledge of it. Our goal is simply to be more like Christ and help others be more like Him too.
With healthy competition and help from others, we can excel in our materials. Our articles are only a beginning. Many generations will follow and improve on what is now offered. That is fine. (We ourselves hope to keep up with this progress!)
We want to encourage God-gifted teachers to take the best of two or three presentations and refine it into a new one used for God's glory! Our greater goal of unleashing God's truths motivates and guides us. People are hurting. They need God's Word now. Any good teacher or preacher will make the material his own before teaching it.
We have in our short history produced many original works. In order to keep up to the standard, we need your volunteer technical, language or editing skills. If God puts it on your heart to help, please let us know.
This new generation has been trained by the screen rather than by the book. They are more presentation-oriented rather than script-oriented. Because of this, we need to think and present God's Word differently if we are going to inspire Christians in the modern world to be communicators of God's Word. Check out our introductory video below!
This movement is just at the initial stages and in a number of years, we will see a flood of materials out there.
As Christian teachers we need to better learn how to preserve and communicate our best thoughts and insights not only for ourselves but also for others. We need to personalize our own material to be effective presenters of God's amazing truth.
Each of us can take what is offered here and improve on it or develop one's own material. This web site is only a beginning. God's truths must transform our lives and then be proclaimed from our mouths.
For the Christian, we hope that BFF's materials will inspire each Christian to begin to write and collect the best materials faithful to God's Word for his own personal growth and reference for others. In not too many years, Christians no doubt will have their own personalized application 'commentary' that they can regularly refer to and add to.
The Lord has given us quality training materials to develop the Christian at various stages of spiritual growth. We desire to enhance one's personal experience of God and His Word so that it makes a great difference in their lives.
We want to see the truth unleashed, that is, free to fully affect people's lives. Our materials are meant to be training tools, both basic and advanced, to aid in God's discipleship of His children.
We appreciate any suggestions, advice, prayer, encouragement and support you can give us at Biblical Foundations for Freedom!
