Hello Friends,
I'm Beth Jones, a gal from Kalamazoo!
I'm so glad you stopped by. At The Basics With Beth, we are all about helping you do three things: get the basics, live the life and do the stuff!
The reason for this is two-fold:
First, the Bible says that God's people perish for a lack of knowledge. When we don't know what we don't know, we suffer needlessly. I don't want anyone to perish because they "didn't know" the Bible basics they needed to know.
Second, the Bible goes on to say that "...everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved, but how can they call on him to save them unless they believe in him? And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them?" I am compelled to tell you, and anyone else who will listen, about Jesus and His marvelous love and saving grace.
As a believer in Jesus for over 45 years, and as a founding, co-pastor with my husband, Jeff and a Bible basics teacher for over 30 years, I've noticed something. People are genuinely hungry for the simple truth. They don't want hype or magic-bullet sermons -- and they don't need great sounding theories; they want and deserve the basic, practical, proven and time-tested wisdom that comes from God's Word.
That's why I want to give to you the basic truths that have helped me ... and I don't want anything from you! I legitimately want to help YOU, and that's why we've made most of our resources available for FREE or for a low "name your own price" option! We offer loads of resources on this website for those who are hungry and thirsty. So, please help yourself to everything!
With love and blessings - now, go have fun exploring and soaking up the Bible basics,
what's new from the basics with beth?
We are making it easier for you to access Bible basics teaching from our videos, podcasts, online courses and books by introducing The Basics Vault!
Each month we'll bring out 12 resources to help you "get the basics, live the life and do the stuff," so check back often!
"We preach Christ, warning people not to add to the Message. We teach in a spirit of profound common sense so that we can bring each person to maturity. To be mature is to be basic. Christ! No more, no less. That’s what I’m working so hard at day after day, year after year, doing my best with the energy God so generously gives me."
-Colossians 1:29, Message
