Most of us Christians would say we love the Lord Jesus, the One who gave His life on the cross for us. But what kind of love do we love Him with?

This chapter begins with the Lord’s words of praise to the church in Ephesus for being faithful in many things. Then, in...

The Joy of Sharing the Gospel
We hope you enjoy this BfA staff member’s testimony of sharing the gospel. I’ve heard it said that the greatest joy in a person’s life is the joy of receiving the Lord Jesus as his Savior, and the second greatest joy is leading another person to the same saving knowledge of Christ. From my own experience, I can testify to the truth of that statement and to the life-changing effect that leading...

The Gospels have many accounts of how people conversed...

God’s Far-reaching Mercy
As believers, we’ve heard the words mercy and grace many times. And even more, we’ve been the recipients of God’s mercy and grace.
