The Ethiopian Bible is the Bible used by the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church, one of the oldest continuous biblical traditions in Christianity, rooted in the ancient Ge'ez language tradition. It contains 81 books, the most of any major denominational Christian Bible.
Its long history and difference from Western Bibles make the Ethiopian Bible especially intriguing to many Christians (and non-Christians) today. And for good reason: Ethiopian Christianity has a fascinating history and valuable testimony to contribute to the wider Christian world.
However, misinformation can also arise, including claims that the Ethiopian Bible represents a "secret" or even "original" Bible. Neither of these are true. |

A father's presence and influence holds a unique place in the life and identity of a child. A father has to be protective and show love. But he also sets boundaries and applies discipline. No earthly father is perfect, and every father struggles to carry the load of being responsible for a young person's life. God gave fathers a unique position in the family, and it's a title He also applies to Himself throughout the Bible.
God the Father has a unique identity within the holy trinity. When you look at the Scriptures, He identifies Himself as the Father of all humanity, the Father of Christ, and the Father of all believers. This means that no matter what your earthly father was like, you can know God the Father and live in relationship with Him. |

The end times ... what do these words spark in your mind? Confusion? Anxiety? Excitement?
For many of us, thinking about the end times can leave us with mixed emotions. But what if prophecy was not included in the Bible to create fear, but to give us hope for the future — to anchor us in the greater story God is working in and through us, now and forever?
When considering how to prepare for the end times, it helps to start by shifting our perspective. Prophecy is a gift from God; it's a way of sharing His plan to restore all things. |
| For two thousand years, the words of the Great Commission have echoed through the corridors of church history: "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations" (Matthew 28:19, NIV). Few commands are more familiar to Christians. Often quoted, yet so misunderstood in practice.
Statistically, most Christians would say they believe in making disciples, yet nearly 80% confess to not experiencing it in practice — that's on either side of the divide, whether being discipled themselves or discipling someone else.
Despite our churches preaching about it, building programs around the principle, and including "disciple making" in their values, few Christians even know where to practically begin. |
