About Biblical Foundations for Freedom (BFF)

Learning about BFF and its two websites

Biblical Foundations for Freedom enables people to share the glory of the children of God. This is why Jesus came. Most Christians never know about that glory as they wander about. They are trapped, usually unknowingly. God's Word can free them!

We have provided a website with free Christian training materials. This is possible through the amazing flow of God's grace. God wonderfully cares for our family and enables us to give to others (see biography). Enjoy!

Besides providing these web materials, we also hold training seminars and consultant services worldwide. If you have a question or comment, give me (Paul) an e-mail! (see the bottom)

Deep Appreciation to the Lord

God mightily provides for this ministry.

The Vision. This BFF ministry started from dust. God was gracious enough to provide the vision for this ministry from the very start in 2000.The Lord has constantly guided this ministry with the initial vision for this ministry. At that time, we had no idea even how to write a web page. (BFF e-Brochure pdf

The Help. Our appreciation of God's grace grows deeper daily. He pours out more and more ideas. Whenever I sit to write, I never need to stop for a moment to deliberate on what to write. The problem is that I always have too much to write. This is even more amazing for someone who hated writing in high school.

The Wisdom. God keeps leading us deeper in understanding His marvelous ways. BFF's ministry serves as a moral apologetic. We prove God's power by observing how His Word's truth works in people's lives. Obey, and you will be blessed! He is the source of all this insight, and we openly give Him praise and adoration!

Using BFF Free Materials

God has given freely, and so we pass on freely. We encourage you to use, adapt, and pass on the materials found on the Biblical Foundations for Freedom websites.

Many great truths have been locked up in dusty books for too long. Even if one invested in a large library, one's insights are difficult to integrate into one's notes. BFF's materials, however, can be printed out or stored in electronic form ready for your preferred use (visit the BFF Resource Center).

BFF's materials include images, ideas, slides, books, handouts, audios, and videos. You are free to use them in God-honoring ways so that it is not for profit. Your purchases of our material aid the BFF ministry. We, however, want you to have the freedom as a church or small ministry to print out the materials you need. For example, take a series, adapt or translate it, and print it out. If you are a larger ministry, please first contact us regarding printing our materials or mass copying (more than 30) our electronic media.

Please feel free to use extended quotes from BFF materials on other websites, but if it is the page's content where you can, please link back to our page.

As an extension of God's grace, we specialize in making the teaching and application of God's Word readily available to all. We hope that you will not only use but also improve what you find here. Take the best parts and form your collection. It's proper at times to provide a link of your source material. This is appreciated.

As a website, we are desirous of letting more people know about the helpful and free materials on this website. You do us a favor when you link to us, mention us in your blogs, or let other friends know.

We now have seven English Digital Libraries, including our media-enriched materials library. Each is presently on sale. In these collections, we have all the audio/videos, books, etc. The website is limited compared to the other websites. Consider these libraries as the teacher's prized resource, not in the inconvenient webpage format but pdfs, mp3s, etc.

• Discipleship Resources - 3 Libraries (includes a Library for each of the three levels of discipleship 1 | 2 | 3)

• Family Resources - 2 Libraries (includes Marriage & Parenting)

• Biblical Resources - 2 Libraries (includes OT & NT Libraries)

While the content of many articles is online, the pdf, pptx, etc. formats often are not. With these resources, you have all our books right in one spot. Click the above links to quickly discover the many quality materials available at a greatly discounted price.

You can put all of this right on your own computer for fast reading, printing or pass it along to a friend! (We, for example, told an inquiring seminary professor he could freely use these Roman study questions in his seminary classes. He politely linked BFF's web address.)

Bible versions

We prefer using the New American Standard Bible (NASB). The NASB excels in providing a reliable literal English translation of the Bible for study. This translation provides less interpretation of the text than other Bible versions. This makes it a good study Bible.

Other versions have their good and bad points. We should be grateful for the many available Bible versions in the English language. Many groups of people across this globe only have one version or no Bible at all! Check out the NASB (Lockman Foundation) website. We have a whole series describing the Bible the Word of God, including choosing Bible versions.

Caring is not professional counseling

Our hope for you is that through reading our material God's mighty Word and Spirit greatly impact your life.

We pray that the concepts in His Word will come alive in your lives and churches even as it does in ours. His Holy Spirit is like water which softens the hard grain kernel and enable a sprout to come forth. However, we are not and do not care to be known as professional state-recognized counselors.

We instead are those who live out and proclaim God's excellent truth. Our end hope is that we all more deeply experience God's wonderful grace and blessing and so produce righteous and godly lives (cf. Deuteronomy 28). Our response to experiencing the love and power of the LORD in our lives is to testify of Him and His amazing grace to others (Psalm 51:13-15).

We appreciate any suggestions, advice, prayer, encouragement and support you can give us at Biblical Foundations for Freedom!
