The following has been contributed by a B4T worker in the Arab world. In Hebrews 2, the author is laying out the logic of why Jesus needed to come to the earth as a man, live a perfect life among us, die on the cross for our sins, and be raised back to life to defeat...

The following was sent to me from a B4T worker. It’s a reminder that if we keep plowing, sowing, watering and fertilizing, the seeds will sprout. Last week, I had an evaluation time with one of our employees (we’ll call him Phil). After I’d asked Phil a couple of...
