What Is BTC?

What started as a simple blog years ago has turned into a 501c3 Nonprofit Organization with over 2 million views that engages thousands of people each day. I never could have imagined this and my desire and prayer is that through Before The Cross whether or not you’re a follower of Christ, that you can ask questions, seek and obtain truth from the Bible, and explore various resources to help you each day. It is only through the perfect life of Jesus Christ, His death on the Cross, and His resurrection, that we can have a relationship with Him. It is ultimately Before The Cross is where we surrender our will for His Will and with joy choose to follow Him for the rest of our lives. Everything is about Jesus and He is the reason we can have a relationship with God. Before The Cross exists to Glorify God by Sharing the Love of Christ with the hope of pointing the lost to Him and strengthening His Church. We do this through biblical teachings, devotionals, encouraging posts, scripture, and by contributing towards local ministries that can benefit their communities. If you have not decided to follow Jesus, our prayer is that you would make that decision to follow Him today.
