Welcome to Early Faith for Today!

Rome-resized

Our mission for this website is to highlight the unity, mystery, and awe of the Christian faith following the death of our Lord Jesus Christ. Contemporary Christians will find encouragement and clarity for their journey through learning about our Christian forefathers; our spiritual ancestors. Similar to learning about our own earthly ancestry, we can benefit from learning about our spiritual brothers and sisters who have gone on before us – the great cloud of witnesses now in Heaven.

Hebrews 12: 1-3 NIV “Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of our faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.”

This website is a source of various writings from the Early Faith genre such as blogs, columns, articles, reviews and books. We encourage writers and authors of this genre to contact us about your work. Various authors will be highlighted on a weekly to monthly basis on the website as a means to inform readers of the preferred resources available.

Also this website is intended to be the premiere source of early Christian Faith information that is practical, relevant, and theologically sound. We endeavor to inspire readers and churches to run their race with perseverance and not lose heart.
